Wanted: News Director – Ability to See Through a Ladder Optional…

The liberals hate Fox News. Plain and simple. Few would deny that, although the drive-by media would spin it into righteous indignation.

However, the nation loves it. The latest Nielsen numbers show Fox News not just winning the battle of the ratings, but utterly dominating.

What should people conclude from this?

• Well, if I were in charge of CNN or MSNBC, I'd conclude that people want more conservative news, and if I was concerned about money or ratings (really, the same thing in the television world), I'd alter the programming to compete.
  
• If I were in charge of the Democratic Party, I'd conclude that people are not as liberal as we thought, and look for more moderate voices to steer the party.
  

What do I really expect? I have no doubt whatsoever that these people will take this as proof that the typical American is too stupid to make decisions for himself, and try to push the liberal agenda. If there isn't an immediate change in news programming (and I don't expect that for a minute), then we have proof that they're not interested in profits, but in promoting an unpopular point of view.
