I truly find this thread humorous. The posts are pretty funny.
I like that people tune in to watch opinion shows and equate that with hard news reporting. It is all trickled through here and I am surprised at some of the posters comments.
Hey left, no matter how smart you like to think Rachael M is she is not the news. Same with Tucker Carlson or whomever. Not the news. They cater to an audience and feed them to get ratings which keeps them employed.

I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

The information is framed and presented based on the stations editorial policy in effect at the time. Fox targets a certain audience just like MS and CNN target a certain audience; one thing all of them have in common is to get a slice of the advertising pie that is out there. It's all about your target audience and ratings since ratings equals advertising revenue.
Fox is unique that it is the only commercial cable news channel that targets conservatives whereas cable news channels CNN, MSNBC and networks ABC, NBC, CBS, etc all target more liberal/centrist viewers, so the advertising revenue is divided 5 or 6 different ways when you come down to it. Let's say if there were only two cable news channels competing for viewers, Fox and CNN, CNN's numbers would most likely bury Fox's ratings because if you add up all the numbers that the liberal oriented news channels have compared to conservative Fox, they most likely would add up to be more.
Obviously nothing is chiseled in stone, but as a rule that is the way things work in the news business.
