re: #426 Buck

Really? Do I have to summarize my every post? Can’t you follow the thread?

NPR has the best reporting.
AS the best it should have an audience that would support it financially in the same way that other broadcasters do.

James commented that the fact that FOX NEWS gets high ratings suggests that a majority don’t want that quality (truth he called it).

It is my opinion that the prevailing “truth” here is that if FOX has the biggest audience, then they must be stupid. That smart people would not watch FOX News.

Anyway, now you are caught up…

Two errors.

If the ‘vote’, meaning monetary support, is split between a number of candidates, then each one will have fewer votes than their unique opposite, therefore Fox having big numbers does not mean it is the best, it means its competition on the right is fewer in number than the networks either on the left or centre.

That there are so many flocking to Fox means they are getting something from having their biases stroked, and that happens with all people of all intelligence levels, so you are wrong when claiming we can only view them as stupid according to your logic.

This might help in your next argument.
