Fox News Getting More Hits Than New York Times?

[tzor]

And if you're not a biggot, then I wouldn't be grouping yourself in with Tzor to tightly.

Yea, don't group yourself with me, I'm a biggot.

By the way, what's a "biggot?" I know what a bigot is, but "biggot" is not in my unabridged dictionary.

[john9blue]

I think it's a portmanteau for "big faggot", i.e. a grade school insult. Correct me if I'm wrong, bee boy.

[BigBallinStalin]

This thread has gotten pretty lame.

Does everyone want to move past temper-tantrum phase?

Move to what? The phase where we all once again fall into our pre-determined left/right formation and argue our designated side of the issue using crappy reasoning and ad-hominems because "Fox News" is in the title? No thanks.

Ah ok. That doesn't make sense.

Faggot: 1 : a bundle of sticks or twigs especially as used for fuel, as a fascine, or as a means of burning heretics alive

Oh wait ... I think it does. After all isn't where the term "flaming" comes from? Burning those heretics alive on the forums?

I'm a large bundle of sticks. Don't associate with a large bundle of sticks like me folks!

Now, isn't this interesting. According to the Drugde Report, as reported in Accuracy in the Media, Fox news is getting more web hits than the New York Times, but still looses out to the Weather.

To be fair, the Hitwise Report Drudge linked to pointed out that when measuring market share of visits, they didn’t count traffic to the nytimes.com sub domains. Still, it is telling that when it came to the most popular search terms in the news category, the rankings fell like this:

1. Weather (0.72%)
2. Fox News (0.40%)
3. CNN (0.39%)
4. Drudge Report (0.25%)
5. Facebook (0.24%)

The New York Times did not make it into the top 20 of that list; the Huffington Post made it only so far as number 20.

Let's hear it for Weather!

People NEED the weather, they see most current news as little more than entertainment.
Fox wins because stupidity and controversy are more entertaining... and likely, a lot of people have a hard time believing so many in Fox say what they do, and so are moved to go the internet to check it out. CNN, by contrast requires less checking. Even so, CNN is hardly truly objective.
Note the close proximity to the Drudge Report and Facebook. (that last is probably low.. Facebook keeps increasing every day.)

Hello Tzor:
Ah.....new keyboard, fat fingers. My spelling error, sorry for the confusion.

Here's a Wiki for you:
A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, irrationality, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs or genetics.

Now you're not overly obvious about it, but when you tally those Muslim thread starts and contributions, the underlying tone is pretty obvious you like to wrap your hate in the flag and call it patriotism.

And now for Mr. Blue:

I think it's a portmanteau for "big faggot", i.e. a grade school insult. Correct me if I'm wrong, bee boy.

Sorry to disappoint you John, it was a spelling mistake. Not that I'm contesting your authority on grade school insults. Hell, you spent 8 years there...........




Have a nice day, gents.

Well then, I suppose I'm not a bigot. I never liked my own opinions, I "tolerate" a lot of things, especially people who really mess up singing the Star Spangled Banner (that song designed to make even the best singer look like a horse's ass) and I have animosity towards no one.

Do you have split personality disorder, or do you always lie outright like that?

This statement is a lie.

Hmmm, let's see, if they are wrapped around an axe ... that's the symbol of the Roman Senate; the fasces.



Fasces (pronounced /ˈfæsiːz/, a plurale tantum, from the Latin word fascis, meaning "bundle") are a bundle of wooden sticks with an axe blade emerging from the center, which is an image that traditionally symbolizes summary power and jurisdiction, and/or "strength through unity". Fasces frequently occur as a charge in heraldry, and should not be confused with the related term, fess, which in French heraldry is called a fasce.

That's right, Benito.

Move to what? The phase where we all once again fall into our pre-determined left/right formation and argue our designated side of the issue using crappy reasoning and ad-hominems because "Fox News" is in the title? No thanks.

Why does almost everything have to be either "left" or "right" with you? Can't you regularly look beyond such simplistic means of perceiving the world?

Did you honestly not see that I was being facetious? Or am I being counter-trolled?

[mpjh]

Wait, you can't be counter-trolled unless you were trolling originally. Oh, wait, I see. This thread didn't read much like a discussion anyway.

[notyou2]

Ban them all for trolling Mr Mod sir

[the.killing.44]

I'm also sure that the Fox Newspaper gets more sales than the NY Times paper does.

[mpjh]

Yes, but which one tells more lies?

[PLAYER57832]

Well, I suspect that the National Enquirer has a higher subscription rate than either Science or Nature.

[notyou2]

Gossip and trash sell because people have boring lives and they think other people's lives are more exciting.

It's porridge for the masses, and there is no shortage of Pips in the world.

[john9blue]

no, the popular consensus is that fox news is the best source of news, therefore it is the best source of news

just like the consensus on global warming's existence means global warming exists

pointing out liberal hypocrisy should be my job or something i mean damn
