re: #6 Rightwingconspirator

ve summed up the bias as a ratings bias. Whatever gets the views gets the time spent.

This isn’t true, though. For FOX, it’s clearly ideological. FOX really, really is different from the rest of the MSM. You can call it a difference of quantity rather than of quality, but I’d disagree; FOX pushes partisan themes not just because it gets them viewership, but also because Ailes and others involved in FOX really want to push those reactionary views.
