Cable tv is certainly not the societal fixture that I'm most proud of.

Just shows that people no longer trust MSM for real news, yet they keep at it with their liberal agendas.

Not in the traditional sense of the word. There was a whole thread on it, look it up if you want. It is becoming more mainstream in that a heck of a lot more people are tuning into FOX, but traditional MSM is ABC, NBC, CBS, etc, along with major city newspapers.

Doesn't show that at all. I have watched Fox News plenty of times and I am liberal. I have probably watched O'Reilly more than anyone else on Fox but I have also wathced Glenn Beck. Most of the time that I watched O'Reilly was because of the topic or guest. I watched Beck just to see how crazy his is. It's kind of like watching Jerry Springer. You don't identify with it but it can be entertaining at times.

More educated people tend get their news online. More educated people tend to be more liberal.

Less educated people have trouble utilizing online resources and prefer the soap opera-ish level delivery of news and information. Less factual but more exciting; manufactured controversy, if you like. Less educated people tend to be conservative.

I knew it. Fox dominates because of all those right wing forum posters with pen in hand getting their talking points. Giddy with excitement until the replies from independent thinkers (who spent time with their family instead of TV) chip away at them.

Nice stereotyping and generalizing. I would say, if anything, the reverse is true. And, FWIW, I am highly educated.
