When are the democratic pols going to start calling out Fox for their lies and racism?

[Cosmic Dancer]

Is it me or does Fox get a pass on their lies, hatred and racism. Why doesn't Obama and other Dems call them out on it whenever they get a chance? It seems to me that Fox is a major reason for the anger and hate going on in our country today. Their 24 hour hate machine just keeps on chugging along and nobody seems to want to do anything serious to stop them. I don't get it, when do we fight back against Fox?

1. Fox viewers are not convertible into anything else.

They are fixed in their bizarre world view. I think Democratic politicians should simply refuse to acknowledge Fox News in any way. They should ignore questions from Fox reporters and should never appear on any Fox talk shows.

Fox is not News. It is an arm of the Teabagger Wing of the Republican Party. It should be ignored by all reasonable people.

2. Have you ever really looked at Fox News viewer numbers? Obama in 2008 got 69.5 million votes

Thursday the 18th, Fox New's highest rated hour was Billo with 2,278,00 viewers. No other show on Fox News broke the 2 million mark that night.
Fox News 6pm special report got 1,689,00 viewers. Same night each of the 3 broadcast networks at the same hour drew far greater viewership, CBS on the bottom with just about 6.5 million and ABC nearly tied with NBC with 7.8 million viewers each and change. So collectively the Networks had about 23 million viewers while Fox News had less than 2 million.

Fox News is not as major as they tell you they are. Numbers don't lie. Niche market,

3. Thanks for pointing that out.

Broadcast network news reaches more of the population than the entire cable new system put together.

People are still watching broadcast news, both local and national.

6. Fox news aside, Ratings for network news are dropping like a rock.

The only people watching network news are old people. That is why their commercials are all for some drug to take. Young people get their news off of websites if they get any at all.

4. A Saudi Prince is the second largest stockholder in FAUX. How weird is that?

His name is Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
