<title>Mythbusting Update: The Fox News Audience</title>
<link>http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/awp244917045.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Two months ago, when Fox haters erupted over the hiring of Howard Wolfson, we repeatedly heard a common smear:<br />
<blockquote>Democrats can pretend that there are "independents" watching Fox News, but the data is clear -- it is the most reliably Republican outlet in the nation.</blockquote>
Our <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/def237238614.html" target="New Window">analysis</a> shot down that canard. The numbers showed that more Democrats watched Fox News than either MSNBC or CNN. But Pew has a new poll out with a slightly different breakdown in news channel viewership, and of course ratings always fluctuate. So it's time to update our analysis to see if FNC still has the most "fair and balanced" audience.<br />
<br />
We go first to the <a href="http://people-press.org/reports/pdf/444.pdf" target="New Window">latest findings</a> from the Pew Research Center, whose work is respected throughout the media. Their annual survey of cable news audiences now shows:<br />
<ul><li>FNC: 39% Republican, 33% Democratic, 22% Independent<br /></li>
<li>CNN: 18% Republican, 51% Democratic, 23% Independent<br /></li>
<li>MSNBC: 18% Republican, 45% Democratic, 27% Independent<br /></li></ul>
Compared to <a href="http://stateofthemedia.org/2008/narrative_cabletv_audience.php?cat=2&media=7" target="New Window">last year</a>, all three channels have a slight uptick in their Democratic precentage, while CNN shows a 4% drop in its GOP audience. Now we correlate the new Pew findings with the latest <a href="http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6601206.html" target="New Window">primetime quarterly cable news ratings</a>, issued on October 1:<br />
<ul><li>FNC: 2,198,000 viewers<br /></li>
<li>CNN: 1,342,000 viewers<br /></li>
<li>MSNBC: 867,000 viewers<br /></li></ul>
Breaking these down according to the percentages reported by Pew, we find the following:<br />
<ul><li>FNC: 857,000 Republicans</li>
<li>CNN: 242,000 Republicans</li>
<li>MSNBC: 156,000 Republicans<br /></li></ul>

<ul><li>FNC: 725,000 Democrats</li>
<li>CNN: 684,000 Democrats</li>
<li>MSNBC: 390,000 Democrats<br /></li></ul>

<ul><li>FNC: 484,000 Independents</li>
<li>CNN: 309,000 Independents</li>
<li>MSNBC: 234,000 Independents<br /></li></ul>
As in our previous report, we relied on the primetime audience ratings. This time we'll also do the math with total day viewership to see if the patterns still hold:<br />
<ul><li>FNC: 438,000 Republicans</li>
<li>CNN: 128,000 Republicans</li>
<li>MSNBC: 85,000 Republicans<br /></li></ul>

<ul><li>FNC: 371,000 Democrats</li>
<li>CNN: 364,000 Democrats</li>
<li>MSNBC: 213,000 Democrats</li></ul>
<ul><li>FNC: 247,000 Independents</li>
<li>CNN: 164,000 Independents</li>
<li>MSNBC: 128,000 Independents<br /></li></ul>
The results could not be more clear. In both total day and primetime, the Fox News audience is far more balanced ideologically than those of the other news channels. And once again, <i>more Democrats watch FNC than either MSNBC or CNN.</i> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/fox+news" style="text-decoration: none; color:#000000" rel="tag">fox</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/bias" style="text-decoration: none; color:#000000" rel="tag">bias</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/fair+and+balanced" style="text-decoration: none; color:#000000" rel="tag">fnc</a>]]></description>

<title>Too Stupid to Be True?</title>
<link>http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/ngi244683443.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[We get some interesting letters here at J$P. Many of them are too vulgar to reprint without large-type language disclaimers. Others are more complimentary. But there are some that seem to come from that middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition...<br />
<br />
We don't know what to make of this. It's all about <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/pvd244055131.html" target="New Window">our posting</a> of the O'Reilly radio clip (the one that has 71,645 views on youtube...so far). We kind of hope the following isn't real, that it's someone playing provocateur. Because it would be disheartening to believe that there are supposedly sentient beings who operate on this level of logic. What follows is the complete email exchange. You be the judge...<br />
<blockquote><br />
From: Kimberly Gutierrez<br />

Subject: 	Bill o'reilly<br />

Date: 	October 1, 2008 12:46:48 PM EDT<br />

To: 	  johnnydollar<br />
Your video on Bill O'Reilly is a fraud.<br />

You should remove it... Liar.
<br /><br />

<p style="font-style: italic; color: silver">Huh? --J$</p><br />

From: 	 Kimberly Gutierrez<br />

Date: October 1, 2008 3:11:08 PM EDT<br />

The Bill O'Reilly "voice" where he is yelling about the dems and republicans, it's a fraud. You should remove it...<br /><br />

<p style="font-style: italic; color: silver">Right, it's really Rich Little. Even the full-hour podcast sitting on the foxnews.com site that the excerpt was taken from is Rich Little. Thank you for your insightful comment. --J$</p><br />

From: 	 Kimberly Gutierrez<br />
Date: October 1, 2008 7:14:56 PM EDT<br />
Then why is the heading, "O'Reilly erupts against talk radio, calls Barney Frank a 'fat toad'"<br />
Says nothing about Rich Little...<br />

<a href="http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/pvd244055131.html" target="New Window">http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/pvd244055131.html</a><br />

You presented this with malicious intent. <br />

The people that responded to this on your blog, don't seem to think this Rich Little.<br />

And yes my comment was insightful, your post wasn't though, was it?<br /><br />

<p style="font-style: italic; color: silver">Oh man, do I have to spell it out for you? "It's really Rich Little" = sarcasm. Sarcasm for an argument so brainless that it deserves nothing more in response. Of course it says nothing about Rich Little. Of course nobody seems to think it's Rich Little. BECAUSE IT ISN'T RICH LITTLE. "Sarcasm", remember?</p>

<p style="font-style: italic; color: silver">I'm surprised that I have to explain this. Thank you for giving me the most stupefyingly dense series of emails I've received in years. It's definitely going into the archives for my upcoming post on idiotic emails.</p>

<p style="font-style: italic; color: silver">PS: Why don't you write to O'Reilly to expose this "malicious fraud" you've uncovered? Of course that would mean you'd have to explain to him how the same audio also sits on billoreilly.com. Oh wait, maybe O'Reilly's in on the 'malicious fraud' too! I guess I'd better label this part too: SARCASM! --J$</p><br />
From: 	 Kimberly Gutierrez<br />

Date: October 1, 2008 7:26:42 PM EDT<br />
Here is the link for the comments page...<br />

<a href="http://www.haloscan.com/comments/johnnydollar/pvd244055131/" target="New Window">http://www.haloscan.com/comments/johnnydollar/pvd244055131/</a><br />

Liar.<br />
<br />
<p style="font-style: italic; color: silver">OK, I'm convinced nobody can be this stupid. This is a put-on. Is this you, Jocko? It sounds like something you might pull. You had me going there for a bit! Nice job!! --J$</p>
</blockquote><br />Is this for real, or a put-on? Anybody want to fess up?
