I am amazed how many "Democrats" on this board watch Fox

[Doctor_J]

WTF is wrong with you? At least MSRNC has one Dem (Olbermann) on. I ask again, WTF is wrong with you?

[YDogg]

1. fox is evil incarnate. end of story

[Fearless]

2. It is very curious.

[Fearless]

3. Curious.

[hisownpetard]

4. Going down the list of OPs, I thought the same thing.

WTF???

[Hissyspit]

11. Same here. I went "What the fuck?"

There's CNN, MSNBC; I have the CBS page open in another window. What's with Fox viewing?

[cliffordu]

5. I"m suspect of anyone with a thousand posts here who watches Faux

[AlCzervik]

6. they must have very strong stomachs. Faux appeals to the lowest common denominator.

[Breeze54]

20. But do they have to post that spew HERE?

:wtf:

[AlCzervik]

26. well hey at least they only 3 threads they can start.

[Auntie Bush]

73. What spew? The fact that Hillary won?

The same people who have everyone on ignore are the ones who won't watch FOX...even to find out who's the winner first. They love those three famous monkeys and ostriches on a sandy beach.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. It like gawking at a car wreck.

Morbid curiosity?

[bluetrain]

They're not real DUers. They're fake Obama supporters sent in to cause more division within our

party.

[LTR]

58. Hey, pass some of what you're smoking over here

:smoke:

[William769]

8. I have direct tv

FAUX News is blocked,cannot even get it. My household is better off too!

[newmajority]

65. Murdoch owns Direct TV

You're paying FAUX whether you watch it or not.

[William769]

71. When a company comes up to Direct tv's standard then I'll switch.

Until then no fucking way!

And yes it's still blocked.

[flowomo]

9. what I "watch" doesn't define my politics....

I watch everything.

[depakid]

36. Don't kid yourself

If you're watching the corporate media, you're being influenced by them in all sorts of ways-

[flowomo]

55. I am a member of the corporate media......

see for yourself:

http://www.cumberlink.com/articles/2008/01/24/editorial/rich_lewis/lewis43.txt

[depakid]

70. I guess it's your job, then!

which probably gives you a bit more insight into how issues are framed and how language is used.

[flowomo]

76. well, I claim no better insight than any DUer....

but I watch evrything in order to do my job, as a teacher, columnist and citizen.

[likesmountains 52]

10. I think people just monitor Fox...not believe it.

[Jennifer C]

49. yes, spot on

[Auntie Bush]

79. Yep! We got strong stomachs and like to see what others have to say.

Obamites are like Bush...only listen to those that agree with him...oblivious to what others have to say in the real world.
That's why he was/is so wrong about everything and even denied we were in a recession today...because he hasn't listened to anyone who disagrees with him. I don't like sand in my eyes and nose.

[TexasObserver]

12. Who is it that's in bed with Rupert Murdoch and running for the Democratic nomination?

Oh, I don't know ... maybe ... SATAN?!

The Devil makes them do it (watch Fox Noise).

[cynatnite]

13. A lot of 'Faux calls it for Hillary' posts...

I don't get it. That station is not allowed on in this house.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. Meh.

I haven't got a problem with people flipping through all the news channels on nights like this.

It's the ones who like Scaife, or the ones who think Pat Buchanan is a better journalist than KO that I can't take seriously.

[Catherine Vincent]

15. I'm amazed at how many DUers pay attention to DUers watching Fox News.

:)

[walldude]

37. No that's Obama supporters watching Hillary supporters

:)

[Catherine Vincent]

44. Very true! :)

[cbayer]

16. I am amazed at how many watch ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC & CNN.

Seriously. We have PBS and NPR, yet I rarely see people quote the around here. I don't find MSNBC much better than FOX - all theater, no substance.

[gabeana]

17. The world is turned upside down

some on this board think KO is the enemy and they now reference ox

[Duke Newcombe]

18. Yes...something is wrong with me because I watch different TV shows...

...thanks for setting me straight on that. :sarcasm:

Duke

[Maribelle]

19. I was an avid MSNBC and CNN fan. When I felt they were giving Obama a free pass

and bashing Hillary unfairly on MSNBC, and those totally biased Obama political analysts on CNN, I had no where left to go. On Fox they treat Obama and Hillary equally.

[ScarletSniper]

40. I disagree..Chris Wallace wouldn't have called the morning

show on to the carpet for their Obama BashFest...if they did.

[Maribelle]

78. But they bash Hillary non stop sometimes too.

[Rockholm]

Don't watch KO anymore.

Can't stand CNN and I would never put Fox on in my house. EVER.

[Cant trust em]

21. I like to know how crazy the other side is.

It's a good way to find out what they're saying so you can best attack their talking points.

[Jennifer C]

53. Same

It's important to know what they're up to.

[Exultant Democracy]

22. Not real democrats, they are republicans and DLCers.

[Breeze54]

You've got that right!

:grr:

I guess we should be glad that they 'label' themselves... now we know.

[Yael]

23. Faux endorsed Clinton

:P

[Maggie_May]

24. Not me never ever won't even look at there web site

If I wanted to watch a bunch of bull than I would turn of Fox.

[Lint Head]

25. Could it be 'closet republicans'?

:dem:

[Earth_First]

27. It's just like the networks, they want to be the FIRST one to post the projected winner... n/t

[TahitiNut]

28. I wouldn't watch that sewage if I was paid to do so.

I see MORE than enough just in public places and in second-hand regurgitation to know that they're as toxic or more than when I finally stopped giving them the benefit of a diminishing doubt years ago.

[ErinBerin84]

29. I try to watch Fox sometimes..., just for the hell of it.

but I just cannot make it.

The only thing I can rely on them for is pressing, up to date Britney Spears coverage.

[cboy4]

30. Not to mention I don't understand DUers who link

Drudge.

[walldude]

41. Drudge, Malkin, The Scar, National Review, American Conservative

Newsmax... primary season.. gotta love it. The Republicans are enjoying the hell out of running us in circles.

[Duke Newcombe]

48. The others I understand...but Drudge?

90+% of Drudge's content are links. I can find more useful targets of my ire than link aggregators, personally.

Duke

[madmom]

59. Wasn't it the Obama camp that pushed the Drudge "report" about the African garb pic?

[walldude]

77. Might have been, I wasn't accusing any specific camp

just listing all the fun people and places that don't belong on a progressive board but manage to make their way onto DU to be used to attack one candidate or the other.

[TheDonkey]

31. not democrats, hillbots

[Skittles]

32. I agree

I took them out of my lineup so I don't have to see them at all

[Austinitis]

33. That Fox (or any network) is saying something can be as important as what gets said.

Besides, you don't flip channels during commercials?

[Maribelle]

34. Ed Schultz, the big Obama supporter, is on FOX all the time.

[ej510]

38. I don't like Fox but on election day I watch all of the channels.

[Breeze54]

43. Watching is one thing but posting their spew here is quite another! n/t

[Maribelle]

51. Well I happen to think anything from MSNBC is garbage. Beauty/beholder syndrome.

[Breeze54]

56. So do I and have for years... most of M$M is compromised but there are RW

sites you just don't quote or cite or give any cred to and Faux Suxs is # 1 !!! :grr:

[Maribelle]

46. I don't like Fox either. But I now hate MSNBC. And CNN is so obviously for Obama.

[walldude]

47. Shultz is an ass... always has been

even if he is supporting the same candidate as I. Funny, OLbermann, Maddow, Malloy, Rhodes, Miller, and many other liberals are supporting Obama and they aren't on Fox news. Any reason you only mentioned Shultz?

[Maribelle]

57. I don't watch it much. I cannot stand Schultz. But when I do they treat Obama and Hillary equally

[kwenu]

35. I watch everybody, especially the folks I don't trust.

[SoCalDem]

39. Why? here's why

FOX WANTS HILLARY TO WIN... THEY WANT HILLARY TO WIN..

Both are "logic-challenged"..

The HRC people look for a "friend" where they can find one.. only thing is.. FOX wants HRC to win so they can beat the crap out of her..


IT'S A COOKBOOK !!!

[nomaco-10]

42. PURELY, ONLY to see what the "other side" is SPINNING....

as much as some political purists on here would like us to see only the one side of this election, you truly underestimate the political drivel that has an effect on almost one half of the electorate of this fucked up country.
I don't enjoy it. I just need to keep an eye on the propaganda that murdoch and rush are assimilating on their minions, 24/7, so that we can provide the facts to, maybe just maybe, we might change a few minds and bring them over from the dark side.

[FlyingSquirrel]

50. Me too, but only if MSNBC and CNN are both on commercial.

And usually get sick to my stomach pretty quick and have to change it. I don't think I've ever posted anything that FAUX said as a thread, but if it was newsworthy enough I guess I might.

[Auntie Bush]

45. I'll tell you why.

Hillary supporters are sick and tired of watching and listening to Tweety and KO fawning over Obama with that feeling going up Tweety's leg...not to mention their Misogynistic comments. Can't stand them anymore. They have never said one positive thing about Hillary. Why the hell should we watch them...you wouldn't either if they were dissing Obama like they do Hillary. Obama fans couldn't take it. My gawd...look how they crumbled because someone had the nerve to ask Obama a tough question.

At least they don't have a fish to fry and aren't quite so biased against Clinton...but pretty darn close.

[tigereye]

54. is it that maxim about needing to know what your enemy is doing?

:shrug:

I can't stand it, myself. Those faux folk are creepy! :scared:

[Doctor_J]

80. Yes, I suppose the poor beatne down Soviet citizens got some comfort listening to Pravda radio

I guess there's some comfort to be taken knowing that you're still working for the same filthy criminals that had their collective foot on your neck yesterday.

[tigereye]

82. forewarned is forearmed - not sure the Pravda comparison is apt since

they were the ONLY game in town.

[chascarrillo]

81. No, I don't think that's the reason.

[knixphan]

60. I can't even use that word to describe the small feral canine species.

[suston96]

61. Olbermann lost his credibillity by picking Obama and trashing Hillary.

[GoldieAZ49]

62. KO sucks, he tries to be an Orielly

both suck equally

I would rather look at and listen to Shep Smith or Bill Hemmer than Cris Matthews

[walldude]

68. Olberman sucks?

Hey there's a pool with a shark in it over there...

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

63. Its called a Recall Button.

You can press it on your remote when one station cuts to commercial.


"Know thyself, Know thy enemy" - Sun Tzu

[minnesota_liberal]

66. I only watch Fox when she's trotting across my back yard

As for Fox "News," you'd have to pay me $10 per minute to watch.

[knixphan]

75. you're better than that!

Make it $50. This is Fox we're talkin' about.

[Generator]

67. Well some of us have a thing for Geraldo

We aren't proud, but we won't hide either.

[AlCzervik]

72. *snort*

:rofl:

[madeline_con]

74. It's o.k to go to the circus...

no harm done.

The special mind control rays don't work on us. :eyes: :tinfoilhat:

[femrap]

83. They are either

young or paid moles working for PR firms. Oh...or stupid.

[SlingBlade]

84. There are many RePukes on this forum

I actually had one follow me here stalking me in the Illinois catagory and judging by some of the content there are many more roaming about.

FoxNews is the holy grail for repukes, They are proud it, Just cant stop talking about it.

That may be a good clue as to who is what !!!!

[wrando]

85. msnbc and fox have similarities

both are unwatchable

but if you are interested in watching a train wreck take your pick

both networks are ridiculous

bill from ct

[theboss]

86. Here's my dirty little secret: I kinda like Brit Hume.

He's the only anchor on any of the cable networks who actually performs an anchor's job. It makes me kind of nostalgic for a time when I was not actually alive.

I kind of like older white men in boring suits telling me what's what.

[AlinPA]

87. They just can't see blatant propaganda for whatever reason.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

88. You know, I actually watched them last night for this simple

reason - being repuke, they dislike both O and H.
Thus - believe it or not - it was less biased
than the other networks. It was like they
were outsiders looking in.

One reason I don't watch MSNBC on election
nights is that they don't stream the
actual numbers - which is totally insane -
I don't understand why they are so stupid
not to do that.

[IsItJustMe]

89. Truth be know, it sure the hell isn't Obama supporters watching faux.

[SeaLyons]

90. Olbermann has been completely biased

and shown his complete support for Obama. I have no respect for Olbermann. Whatever journalistic credibility he had has been erased with all Hillary supporters. He has ignored or minimized any negative reports against Obama, always finding a way to place the blame on Hillary. He has shown absolutely no respect for her supporters, and as far as I'm concerned, he owes Hillary a HUGE apology. He is an idiot.

People have turned to Fox because they are the ones reporting on BOTH candidates.

[windoe]

91. Fox is a brain virus n/t

[MadBadger]

92. They watch Hannity for their Anti-Obama Talking points.

[JuniperLea]

93. I am amazed at how many insults DUers can throw at one another...

Your OP sucks. And the entire premise of the OP is naive. "Know Thine Enemy" is as valid today as it was 2,300 years ago when it was first uttered by Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu. It's ignorant to think that a battle can be waged, verbally or in the field, if you don't know your enemy very, very well. That's why people watch FAUX News.
