Fox News creates Republincan voters

[Spindrift]

I'm thinking Fox News was created originally to attract viewers who weren't satisfied with the existing choices at the time. Converting viewers who previously weren't interested is probably just icing on the cake.

Fox News was created to attract viewers who didn't agree with the news as reported by everyone else, so opinions masquerading as news was created to attract those viewers.

I heard MSNBC is pretty good at creating Republican voters, too!

This is not new, but relevant:

Fox News Makes You Stupid

According to a new study by Farleigh Dickinson University, Fox viewers are the least knowledgeable audience of any outlet, and they know even less about politics and current events than people who watch no news at all.

Note: Insert "yet another" at the highlight.

Thanks Bobby Jindal for pointing this out.

There is slants and bias in news sources.. then there is Fox News, which is a propaganda network for conservatives.

As opposed to what, MSNBC and CNN? Please.

Yes, as opposed to MSNBC and CNN, which are new organizations and are not propaganda machines.

That's the reality has a liberal bias problem, not ideological slanting.

Everybody thinks reality has a bias towards their own opinion.

Come on, dude, Fox News has the highest rating for dishonest, fake reporting. No matter which stations are slanted, Fox is blatantly purposefully unapologetically slanted.

What's the source for the bolded text?

Everybody thinks reality has a bias towards their own opinion.

Honestly, I don't think I've ever heard a conservative claim that "reality has a conservative bias". I don't even think I've ever heard a conservative object directly to the claim that "reality has a liberal bias".

Conservatives found an easy way to avoid bias - they simply created an 'alternative reality' which is 100% conservative.
