Perfect Timing: Liberal Media Increasing Marginalized

Two stories coming over at Memeorandum couldn't be more well timed to show just how weak liberalism is in America.

The moonbats around Think Progress are celebrating a debate to be hosted by CNN, as opposed to Fox. As one may still appear on Fox, they are keeping the pressure on.

And along comes Zogby with some actually relevant information, unlike the foolish post above where liberals are actually thrilled at speaking to a smaller audience.

Americans are identifying and rejecting liberal media bias as much as ever before, meanwhile the moonbats, CNN and MSNBC struggle to marginalize themselves even more. Ya gotta love it!

The vast majority of American voters believe media bias is alive and well – 83% of likely voters said the media is biased in one direction or another, while just 11% believe the media doesn’t take political sides, a recent IPDI/Zogby Interactive poll shows.

The Institute for Politics, Democracy, and the Internet is based at George Washington University in Washington D.C.

Nearly two-thirds of those online respondents who detected bias in the media (64%) said the media leans left, while slightly more than a quarter of respondents (28%) said they see a conservative bias on their TV sets and in their column inches. The survey, which focuses on perceptions of the “old” and “new” media, will be released today at the PoliticsOnline Conference 2007 at GWU. It is also featured in the March issue of Zogby’s Real America newsletter, now available on www.zogby.com.

Online poll? Did somebody say Freeped?

Also, I think the reason the "moonbats" want a debate on CNN is that some Democrats actually watch CNN, painful as it may be, and Democrats vote in the Democratic primary. I don't think the candidates, or ThinkProgress, or anyone else give a shit about ad revenue one way or the other. Except for CNN, who is undoubtedly thrilled.

Cable News Daily Ratings for March 13, 2007

P2+ Total Day
FNC – 846,000 viewers
CNN – 455,000 viewers
MSNBC – 271,000 viewers
CNBC – 246,000 viewers
HLN – 243,000 viewers

So almost twice as many people watch Fox News as CNN these days and MSNBC and CNBC might as well be public access.

I actually watch CNN from time to time during the day and not just their conservative shows either.

Deciding to not debate on the most watched cable news network is a major mistake for the Democrats unless they purposely want to limit coverage on what they have to say.

More evidence that the pendulum is swinging back.

Harry Reid letting a bunch of liberal nimrod blocaucuses tell him what to do? Pitiful...

Someone tell me, are we through the 100 hour promise yet?

Why would Democrats be thrilled at the prospect of getting leading questions and softballs vs. more challenging questions which will still be fair. I *think* that's why they didn't want to go on Fox, to actually have to explain themselves.

the voters are wondering what the hell the Democrats are doing and boilerplate Demspeak isn't going to help.

But the liberals are the stupid teenbeat party and they will continue to run into the wall headfirst. They don't want to have to do homework, like irresponsible teenagers.

Fox just needs to let the extreme leftwing third parties have the airtime that the normal Democratic party would have gotten. No more comercial time for the Dems. Shut them out. Fox just moved ahead of CBS in ratings from what I hear so if the Dems want to reach fewer people let them.
