These people are good because they are popular. Those people are bad because they are unpopular. What is this, the High School Forum?

"MSNBC: The Most "UN-TRUSTED" Name in News; Leftist Lineup Scrapes Bottom of the Barrel"
In general, TV news is the bottom of the barrel. Boring fluff, stupid reports, loads of commercials, and patty cake interviews.
TV news is devoid of journalism.

Prime time is not straight news, it's commentary and opinion. Apparently, the public doesn't like the leftist slant MSNBC puts on their straight news AND the prime time opinion shows as well.

CNN is in my opinion the most moderate. At least they try to be. I never been a huge fan of MSNBC.
Foxnews was basically blocked from my workplace (Well very few TV's are tuned into fox) after Jon Stewart caught them using tapes to make Tea parties rallies seem bigger then what they really were. I believe Steward Caught Foxnews doing that twice. Fox became a joke afterwards in my opinion.

Fox is a joke. Stewart also called them out on the number 2 owner of fox news, Saudi muslim Al-Waleed bin Talal, who also donated $300,000 to the ground zero mosque.

FNC's average viewer age is 67 (!), and older people are more likely to vote, meaning that it's a straw man argument.

Neither FNC or MSNBC care about Q ratings - they care about eyeballs watching their programming and their commercials. Fox does have twice the ratings of MSNBC, but MSNBC is coming from a position of being a complete afterthought 3 years ago with just a handful of primetime programming to a full schedule this year in a number 2 position above CNN and Headline. Given that NBC already has the news infrastructure, all they really needed was the talent - so yes, MSNBC is making lots of money for NBC Universal, just like FNC is doing for NewsCorp.

Does maddow intentionally try to look like dobie?
Picking on people's looks is perhaps the greatest form of the argument that exists. I think that it was Plato who advocated it.

Watching MSNBC requires brain cells. That's too tough for most people. They'd rather down a few from the comfort of their armchair in the blue glow of Fox "news". And, yet ANOTHER thread based on inferior logic: the news with the most viewers is the one that's the most truthful. Please, stop!

Indeed. That's almost as fatuous as claiming that the presidential candidate who received the most votes in 2008 is the most competent.
