Fox Fans Favor Bush 65% to 28% CNN Fans Favor Kerry 63% to 26%
Edited on Fri Jun-18-04 08:32 PM by thebigmansentme
Thursday, June 17, 2004--Among fans of the Fox News Channel, George W. Bush is winning by a landslide--65% to 28%. Those who prefer CNN also prefer Kerry by an almost identical margin (63% to 26%).

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey documents a similar split on the radio dial. Those who listen to National Public Radio prefer Kerry by a 68% to 27% margin. However, those who listen to Christian radio stations on a regular basis prefer Bush, 71% to 23%.

I wonder about MSNBC though.

18. incorrect math there :)
"most of the 14%..." therefore a greater portion of a small group, in this case a 14% that's drunk before noon. the other 86% is not relevant to the expression. where you got 86% drunk before noon is a misinterpreation of the expression. one could read the expression easier like this:

fox holds most of the '14%-drunk-before-noon' fans.

but this is not that necessary.

and yes, you can be a member if this group if you so like. be sure to have imbibed enough before noon then, :evilgrin:

9. 28% of Fox fans are for Kerry? That surprises me.
I wouldn't think he'd have any.

12. well
fox has more. about 1.5 times more than cnn. but i think when you factor msnbc into equation (which is mostly democrat and younger viewer oriented) things kind of balance out as far as cable news networks are concerned.

why don't you go research that and then let us know. that's ur homework assignment for tonight.

22. Maybe some people still think it's the Clinton News Network
They used to be accused of being pro Democrat. Now at least some of their big gun, Wolf Blitzer and Judy Woodruff IMHO are pretty much dollar dates for dubya.

Still you gotta get your news somewhere and CNN's got some shows I'll watch as has MSNBC.

14. Strange dynamics
since it seem to me that Faux and CNN have the same content and on-air "talent" (almost interchangable lately)-yet their respective viewership are total opposites. What's up with that?

17. That may be true and we all know that Fox is conservative leaning
but it gives the notion that CNN must be liberal leaning and they are NOT. IMO, they are in the middle...there are plenty of bush media whores on that station.

19. Fox fans are idiots.
Jeebus- those assholes just don't see anything wrong with Bush. They like his tough talk bullshit and simplistic way of seeing the world.
