Talk Radio and Cable News Today

Post by Deleted User 12047 » Fri Feb 08, 2019 8:21 am

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Fox News - "Everything the Dems/Libs/Feminazis want to do is dangerous and evil, and you should be afraid of it."

MSNBC, CNN: "Everything Donald Trump/Republicans want to do is dangerous and evil, and you should be afraid of it."

Fear sells...

But who's buying?... sadly there is so much bias with the news networks. Instead of both sides, they side with one and pound on the other. Fair down the middle? Nope...

If ratings are any indication of "who's buying," then the answer is, by a landslide, conservatives. Fox News dominates cable news ratings, and even moreso on radio do conservatives do better than liberals.

Remember though, these right-wingers are the counter-balance to the likes of ABC and NBC (and to a lesser extent CBS), the Washington Post, New York Times, the entire entertainment industry, etc.

Sorry but you have missed the point. This isn’t about bias, this is about selling commercials and getting viewers. Number one show on cable right now - Maddow.

Why? Because people are afraid of Trump. She stokes that fear...

How did Fox News become number one overall? People were afraid of Obama. Fox News (especially Hannity) stoked that fear, and continues to find ways to make people afraid of what might happen to them (caravans, socialism, brown people living next door)

Fear sells... Roger Ailes knew that right away, took a longer time for MSNBC to figure that out.

It's called entertainment for a reason...


Music is my life.
