that one's a bit of a landslide, I guess they didn't need my additional vote...

I voted, but like marc in calgary pointed out, this one is a landslide victory for the good guys. Usually these online polls are pretty meaningless, with only a few hundred or, at best, thousand votes tallied.

This thing's a monster with 1.25 million cast so far.

The silent majority smells the stench coming from most of the MSM. A decaying rat is perceptible to even the laziest crow.

I love the comments, cruised through them, the Fox Supporters were promoting the Network's reporting and giving them the information to decide on an issue and questioning the Administration's decision to attack dissent.

Meanwhile the Liberals were almost ripping their hair out and insulting individuals, calling names, and being basically a bunch of cry-babies that their leftist website got over-run with common sense.

Then I realized that is what the Whitehouse is doing...

New video of Rev. Wright speaking at the 60th anniversary of a Marxist magazing.

Website says: At this point it would be far easier to count the people around Obama who are NOT socialists. In the Rev. Wright has some very interesting things to say.

"let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is."

What way is that? Fawning? Preening? Balanced? Throw me a bone here.

That comment is dirt on the coffin. Truly.

"let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is."

What way is that?

Given their dropping viewership I think the term is: "gone" or perhaps "irrelevant"

"The silent majority smells the stench coming from most of the MSM. A decaying rat is perceptible to even the laziest crow."

Syncro's comment summed it up.

i try to teach my kids to think for themselves.
Sometimes they need help.

My 17 yr old daughter has a teacher who thinks it funny to mis-pronounce her given name.

I told her to respond with, "I didn't know you are an ass-hat".

We both had a laugh.

i think they will call this Obama disease soon.

Jayzus, 1.3 million votes on an NPR webpoll!!!

Like it or not for Obama the public is paying attention to this issue. I think The president loses in many ways for many reasons, not the least of which is getting more people to tune into fox news to see what all of the commotion is about.

Do these NPR potted pot plants think nobody noticed Barry going after FOX?

I mean, just pause for a second and consider: the President of the United States criticizing a TV network because he doesn't like their coverage of him? Better yet, singling out -individuals- for things they've said about him, things which were true? Not just once either, but ongoing, as a policy.

Ask yourself when that EVER happened before in the USA.

Looks to me like a million and a half people besides me thought about it already and are informing NPR of their results.

My question is what the NPR dorks are thinking. Or are they just gittin' paid, as the Chicago street patter has it?

People on the freedom/conservative side are much more informed about the world than the people on the diktat/socialist side.
The conservatives of necessity must keep up with the world’s happenings where ever the information is; socialists get their information from single source, since they can not deviate from the party line.
That is not to say that as the time passes the conservative party organization is getting more rigid, though you have to separate the party from your everyday conservative.

Interesting that comment about the poll having no validity.....
Howcum????????
The lefties IF they really did have such a great following could have easily changed the result.

Last month I was in Washington DC. The cabbie had NPR radio playing. This was a first for me, an educated cabbie. He was Nigerian and was formerly a high school teacher in Nigeria

Can anyone explain to me why I can't get Fox News on my cable? Has it got something to do with the CRTC or do they frighten Shaw?

larben - dump your cable and get Bell ExpressView. I get Fox news and I love it! Oreilly, Hannity, Beck, Van Sustrien - they rule. I also get MSNBC but I just know my set would catch fire if I ever tuned in Ohlbermann.

A cast of Hollywood script writers program the Man-Boy... The teleprompter even has a time-out to change Obama's diaper. The WH is not comfortable unless they control the MSM... they are in a reactionary mode with Fox

I seldom agree with the ditto-head (Rush) but he nails Obama...and Beck has the Communist team identified..

Yes! the WH is scared of Fox...The rest of MSM are Skank-ho turds

Larben.

Fox News is on Shaw 142 here in Calgary. I have been watching it for a few years now... no reason you can't order it as a specialty channel.

What would help is if Kate could encourage her readers to get on Shaw/Roger asses about adding Fox Business Channel to their lineup. I have "demanded" it from Shaw, but having more voices pipe in would help! Thanks in advance Kate.

Larben, I'm a Shaw customer too, and have been enjoying Fox News for the last 18 months or so. It should be available to you as an add-on channel, for $2.99 per month, or so (less per month if you buy a bundle of add-on channels, which is what I did).

colin from bc; to get fox you have to pay for some of the limp wristed CBC's crap you never watch. welcom to liberal Canada, Harper needs a majority.

For your Fox viewing pleasure...

Well, that's a whole other topic, isn't it? But, yes, you're quite correct: we must pay for a bunch of channels that are never viewed to get those we truly want.

I had to pay six bucks a month to get a bundle including Fox. One of the channels in the packet was OUT-TV. Really? I bitched, screamed and moaned that they should let me pay the rate for a single add-on channel.
After weeks of calling and raising a stink, they offered me a news bundle. Again, six bucks for the pack. MSNBC, military, nat-geo.
Best six dollar per month expenditure I've ever committed to.
And it's kind of fun flipping from Fox to MSNBC to compare their analyses' of common issues.

Sam S.

Thanks for the heads up.

I must've had the same DC cabbie. Either that or they all like NPR. I still recall the NPR/PBS news team covering the 1992 election cheering on camera when Clinton won. There's "fair and balanced" for you. BTW, by no means was Fox News despondent when Obama won. They were no less enthusiastic about their reporting. It's amazing how liberals described them as "sulking". They probably didn't even watch. PBS/NPR's Frontline, Nova, All (Liberal) Things Considered, Garrison Keillor, Charlie Rose, Bill Moyers, etc are all leftists.

Wow. I know internet polls aren't "scientific," but there is no getting away from the fact that this poll, the comments, and the email messages posted, are significant.
What are the odds that Thomas Jefferson himself rose from the grave to put in his vote for freedom of the press?

This is significant---like Biden addressing a half empty rally.....
If the lefties had clout they could have piled on and the result would have been different.
It seems OBAMA's support is a PAPER TIGER....
I really, really get off using lefty expressions back against them....it makes my day go better...
At some point the OBAMA/PELOSI/REID axis will resort to force to enforce their way and find that their para-military resources are NIL.
The use of UNION GOONs at town-halls failed when a few folk showed up open carry....and the violence ceased.
Make no mistake---the OBAMACRATS are extremely cognizant of this situation----their whinny current conduct illustrates this.
My appraisal is that politically the USA is a powder keg----with the right is wisely showing remarkable restraint-----the spark will be recklessly provided by the OBAMACRATS.

larben, Colin, bartinsky, Sam S., I have the solution to Network Irritation Syndrome.

Turn off your TV. Cancel all cable subscriptions.

Its awesome. Like discovering a whole other day in the week you didn't know about. And the liver inflammation from the f-ing edjit TV shows will gradually subside.

Its not like you're going to miss anything worth seeing, right?

It's interesting to note the tone and tenor, comparing Fox and MySocialistNBC.......

Fox talks about all topics, sure there's a right bent, but, it IS a news channel, despite the spin and twist from the leftard community.

But, with MSNBC.....stuck on stupid! The head tards, Matthews and Herr Olbermann, are spin masters to the nth degree. But, what is obvious, is that they have nothing positive to spin or talk about, as far as achievements by the Anointed One. So, instead, they are in attack mode still, as if Bush was still living on Pennsylvania Ave. Their topics lately? Cheney.....who cares? Last time I looked, it's been a year since he's been relevant. Living in the past always makes the left feel good.

And as far as Herr Olby, when he consistently makes Glenn Beck his 'worst person', then Beck is doing something right, getting under his skin. Olby spewed venom tonight, called him an idiot, and just about burnt a hole through the camera, with the fire and brimstone.

/sarc on.....Nice to see a tolerant left......../sarc off.
