Fox Fans Favor Bush 65% to 28% CNN Fans Favor Kerry 63% to 26%

[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.

3. .

dont come as a surprise to anyone.

lol, stop the presses.

also, breaking news - FR users support bush 99% to 1%, while DU users support Kerry 99% to 1%

in other news the sky is blue

p.s. so i guess the question is...

there was a question there somewhere i think

[LTR]

8. Who's the 1%?

Does RimJob know about this?

[thebigmansentme]

10. lol

Who's the 1%?

third party candidates ?......

2. MSNBC probably has too small an audience for that (nt)

4. fox holds most of the 14% drunk before noon as fans.

yay, congrats! go fox! if only all organizations could corner the 'swimming in sauce' section of society.

[thebigmansentme]

5. ?!

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

so 86% of 'drunk before noon' watch cnn ? hells yeah, cause i am a member of that group.

[NuttyFluffers]

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:

6. An open letter to Fox fans:

Dear Fox fans: Blow me. Sincerly, Me.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

7. Only 65%?

Their propaganda needs a tune-up.

[TexasSissy]

9. 28% of Fox fans are for Kerry? That surprises me.

I wouldn't think he'd have any.

11. Who has more viewers? That .. is the question

;)

[thebigmansentme]

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.

13. CNN Whores So Much For Bush

guess CNN viewers are smarter and can see through their pro-Bush propaganda.

[bklyncowgirl]

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.

[Maccagirl]

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?

[Cat Atomic]

15. Fox fans are also

fucking stupid. I believe that's the medical term.

[Catherine Vincent]

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.

[Redleg]

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.

[Bake]

20. I don't think too many of us are CNN "fans"

But you gotta get your TV news SOMEWHERE ...

21. Why doesn't CNN get a clue, and give the majority...

of its viewers fairer political coverage???? As you say, db41, we news junkies gotta get news somewhere --
