Thread: FOX News Owning CNN, MSNBC and CNBC... Look at ratings

I found this information to be so interesting. Look at Glenn Beck's audience and compare the morning shows of Fox with CNN and MSNBC.... I am hoping this means the general public has figured out CNN and MSNBC are government owned and controlled.

I find this one much easier to understand ..........

I like the way it breaks down each stations show against the others.

GO FOX- Get Lou Dobbs and Dylan Rattigan on your station.

In most cases, FOX doesn't get 50% more viewers than any of the other networks, not 100% more, they get about 300% more!!!! Wonder if the rest of them will EVER get a clue?? Ha ha ha ha.......

It's been as high as 400%!
Mostly on O'Reilly.

It's easier to understand the page on the web since the formatting gets lost.
I tried it and decided not to post it.

I'm the first to admit.. I really don't like Fox News with their pro war propaganda to kill Bin Laden who has been dead since 2001.... sigh... but at least they do bring out the fight against socialism which the other communist news network (CNN) and MSNBC (give our company another 140 billion bailout )

Fox right now the lesser of the evils... Just like the Congress... the lesser of the evils is still evil. However, I will watch before I ever turn on CNN or General Electric's government tokyo rose station MSNBC.

Fox is owned by a globalist elite named Rupert Murdoch, he is on to the money thing with Fox, he is rolling with what is making him money right now. I appreciate that Fox is reporting better than the others...however that could change at any time. Read about him below.

“We are in the midst of a phase of history in which nations will be redefined and their futures fundamentally altered,â€

April, I agree with you. In-fact Murdoch not even American... can't remember what country he is from. But.... I got so fed up listening to CNN and MSNBC who think Obimination is the chosen one... it is a bit of fresh air to see a station saying he is not. FOX just as owned as the other stations... I believe all the major networks will hide the fact that the health care retreat is to make us feel good... but they will stack it in another bill while all the networks hide it from us. It is a horse and pony show... when your major news media is government controlled, which they all are, we must be extra vigilant. I believe CNN, FOX and MSNBC are all government controlled. My point was that the highest ratings go to FOX, which is show boating an anti Obama stance. It proved to me what the nation is feeling towards the "annointed one, cough" is not that good... but I agree the messenger is owned as well.

My thoughts on this is Murdoch is depending on everyone believing everything Fox says so he can lead us down the garden path to destruction anytime he feels like it, right now he is rolling with the flow of America's distrust of Obama and government in general, but he has a plan and it is not going to be good for us. Yes many of Obama's puppet masters are foreign, that is why all these bills keep popping up to be pushed through by the traitors, that are not good for America.

I agree. I don't trust Fox for one minute. They are just capitalizing on this movemember of distrust to the American government. As soon as Murdoch finds out stirring the pot of controversy doesn't bring higher ratings/more money Fox will turn on us like snakes.

Something else that makes me distrustful about Fox is that evertime a gues is grought on to talk, they always have something to hawk, a book or something.

I agree with you 100%. Fox, Fox News and all involved are wolves in sheeps clothing.
