If think for a moment, the Pew Study actually presents Fox News in a favorable light .... at least as compared to MSNBC .... in terms of time spent presenting news versus time spent delivering opinionated political commentary. |

This is an unscientific study but my observations parallel what Pew says. My TV is on the news all day and CNN seems to be the one that does more reporting than commenting. I agree... Then why did you say that the findings were bull because they were reported on Huff Post, along with about 200 other places? cause he's stupid? |
