Time On Beck

Apples and oranges, but it feeds my bias.
In 1987 comedian David Brenner bombed in syndication with about 2.5 million viewers at midnight — which is roughly what Fox, the leading network for political talk shows, averages in prime time.
This from The Dish, but the chart is better. But again, Research 2000 is Daily Kos' pollster. Kos says they're neutral and report good as well as bad news for progressives. Still.
As for the Republican Party being a permanently regional voice, many have said it's true. Why then the credibility they're given by the media?
Cuz The Village is stupidly stuck in the time-warp that is Washington, D.C., and they're lazy, and they need blood on a daily basis. If all we had were stories critiquing the administration from a rational, factual perspective, people might actually turn off the tube or switch to HBO or something.
