Fox News viewers voted 88% to 7% Bush over Kerry

Yet, in our 2004 polling with Media Vote, using Nielsen diaries, we found that Fox News viewers supported George Bush over John Kerry by 88 percent to 7 percent. No demographic segment, other than Republicans, was as united in supporting Bush. Conservatives, white evangelical Christians, gun owners, and supporters of the Iraq war all gave Bush fewer votes than did regular Fox News viewers.

TheHill.com - Hounding Fox News coverage

Well isn't it certainly the ultra-Republican news network, and I bet that 7% who voted for Kerry are people like me who occasionally tune in to see how Fox handles some latest Bush outrage for a few minutes, maybe some stay tuned longer but I can't stand it for much

So Fox News produces the most uninformed and republican voters...but they're certainly not bias, I am sure 90% of the people who watch the nightly news voted for Kerry

Wow harsh responses from conservatives on this fairly minor story, lol.

Proof that FOX is the mouthpiece of the GOP hard to admit to?

I bet you won't find those high of stats for any of the "liberal" media.

So much for free speech when liberals feel that all news angencies should be liberal mouthpieces.

why is it that anything that isn't FOX is the liberal media?

if you have:

"Conservative:"
FOX News

"Liberal:"
CNN
MSNBC
BBC
and most other news outlets



maybe they aren't so liberal after all. In fact, FOX isn't conservative. It's far from it. FOX is a Neocon outlet for the Bush/Rove Administration, and a mouthpiece for Neocoons everywhere.

In fact, FOX News in many ways contrasts with Newt's 1994 GOP.

Because liberals only attack non-liberal news media for not spreading their message and don't really care about media bias. If they did they'd be bitching about CNN as much as they bitch about FOX.

But you notice, they only bitch about FOX. Conservatives havden'[t even complained as much about CNN's bias. But they don't complain about FOX as well.

Basically is rally more partisan shit than any real interest in ethical news production, in true fairness of the media, except as how they can use it against their political opponents.

the reason many bitch about FOX is because of the shit posted in the first post here.

This study is 3 years old? Is it such a slow news day that liberals have to start creating threads about 3 year old data?

This thread was probably created in DIAF in 2004. Why do it again? Desperate for attention?

I think the problem is that Fox is the only conservative station. They have no competition. If the entire media was conservative save for one liberal outlet I think you'd see the same thing on the other end of the spectrum.

Fox has a bias which makes it enticing for conservatives to view. I think their news programs are less bias than most of the competition, but they run a lot of conservative opinion shows that get really good ratings. And I think that is where the majority slant comes into play.
