I don't think we should pretend that our own views don't scew our |
| 46 |
perception of not only what is true, but also what is fair and |
| 47 |
balanced. I'm a liberal fellow and although NBC and CNN do seem |
| 48 |
liberal to me, I still perceive them to be a good source of news |
| 49 |
facts. ABC seems only very slightly to the left, and Fox seems so far |
| 50 |
to the right it's ridiculous. These aren't evaluations of truthiness, |
| 51 |
but of fairness. Dale obviously disagrees. The point is that no one |
| 52 |
is actually a good judge of truth *or* fairness. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
As for why Fox has "more" (let's say the same number of) viewers as |
| 55 |
the rest of the networks, I think you stated the reason exactly: |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
"For years, CNN, CBS and friends was all we had then along came Fox." |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Conservative folks don't have any other choice, and the US seems to be |
| 60 |
pretty split in half as far as Democrats/Republicans if elections |
| 61 |
results are any indication. |
