NewbieJr 541 Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks for the idea Worms - just for kicks, I did a site search on Obama Care on both Fox.com and MSNBC.com - pretty clear and laughable where each one stands: FOX: https://www.google.com/search?q=fox+news&oq=fox+news&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i61l3j0l2.1369j0j8&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=site:foxnews.com%2C+obama*care MSNBC: https://www.google.com/search?q=fox+news&oq=fox+news&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i61l3j0l2.1369j0j8&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=site:msnbc.com%2C+obama*care didn't see it Worm - but it's not just a news thing - it's EVERYTHING. as much as the internet and connection economy has the power to unite us, it can (and in the case of news/politics, already does) divide us and present us with different "truths". In the end, it's all about dollars/revenue and how the content is marketed to you. Content marketing is the current trend - profile you, profile your friends, and deliver content that matches the way you are profiled - note: I said, "the way you are profiled" - the marketer doesn't care if he occasionally misses, he's playing the odds. The next step in all this moves from Content to Context - meaning we'll now use your content profile and your location to ping you into action with a tweet/update/push notification/etc - if you're a profiled/known liberal/conservative to the marketer, you won't ever go on a tourism event or to the mall again and miss any liberal/conservative hot spots bc we will ping you to let you know they are there, and even send directions from your location. A conservative in a book store? gets pinged about Limbaugh's new book. A liberal walking thru a new city in the morning? gets pinged about the nearest starbucks (with a coupon in the ping) The whole purpose is to generate more dollars by catering to the individual's likes / wants. But by doing so, it could create a bubble that you live/shop/read in. I don't care enough to really analyze it - but this is my perception as well. FOX and MSNBC are the two that are furthest away from center - I typically see the worst of both sides on these networks. Fox News is Rupert Murdoch's creation. It serves Rupert Murdoch and his interests MSNBC was created by Microsoft and General Electric, it serves their interests which are admittedly "progressive". All news agencies have a founder/creator/owner that drives it towards the bias of the founder/creator/owner. This is not new. This is not debatable. So please, stop arguing over it. here's the problem with it all... FOX and MSNBC are what we will get more of - they cater to their base, evoke emotion, and gain loyalty. News channels that try to stay unbalanced will eventually lose the ratings war simply because they don't connect so viscerally with their audience and therefore don't breed any loyalty. Viewers of CNN don't love or defend CNN the way viewers of FOX or MSNBC do. Cater to the top of the bell curve and you die today. No product is for everyone and if you try to make if for everyone, you will fail - there is simply too much choice today. It all started with Amazon's and Facebook's concepts of "like" and "if you like THIS, you'll like THAT". The object of providing content is to provide you with content you LIKE so that you will consume more of it. Modern marketing allows content creators to profile you and deliver exactly/only what you want. And this can become problematic because the content providers no longer deliver the best product/solution/answer to your query, they simply provide what they THINK you want based on past preferences in the hopes that you will consume more. If you're truly interested, GoogleBallz, read the intelligent analysis by someone who isn't a liberal or conservative hack and who has nothing to gain by trying to convince anyone he is right. (although I'm quite sure that you stand far on the right with the rest of the conservative hacks in this thread) TD Ryan won this thread based solely on offering intelligent insight without an agenda.

You agreed with him, which was in direct contrast to your position in this thread and countless others. Since you agreed with him, I proudly accept this victory. If your stance is that Fox is second to only MSNBC for being biased, then I'll award you the victory. As long as you realize that Fox is to the right as MSNBC is to the left. Maybe some poll determined that MSNBC was even worse. If so, then that's fine and dandy. It's kind of irrelevant since I don't know anyone who watches it. As long as the Fox viewers realize what it is, I'll give you all the :first: that you're shelf can hold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
