Fox and the mainstream... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 28/08/2018 12:31:30 AM

What's particularly puzzling about the formulation of "mainstream media" is that Fox is the most watched of the network news channels, and has been for more than a decade, and 15 of the 20 most watched cable news shows are on Fox:

The formulation of anything non-Fox on TV as "mainstream" is factually incorrect, and as good a piece of evidence as any that this conservative formulation exists to merely allow the language of victimhood to permeate conservative thought.

Except the left persists on treating Fox as a partisan aberration and CNN & MSNBC as mainstream Cannoli - 28/08/2018 07:53:43 AM 633 Views
