Their hero Obama is 100% anti-capitalist and they lick the cloud he walks on. <br /><br />One would think that any reasonable person could figure out that if Obama sat and listened to Rev. Wright for 25 years, got married by him and had his kids baptized by him that he agreed with the fundamental hate America, hate Whitey, hate capitalism black theology Wright espoused.<br /><br />But no, they were too blinded by the opportunity to prove they were not racists by supporting a candidate for no other reason than his race.

That's capitalism 101."<br /><br />Well then, perhaps demand for what Fox does is not significant, it's a matter of opinion. I'm fairly certain that a substantive argument can be made that Fox's ratings are compelling evidence that demand IS significant.<br /><br />Also, the failure of Fox's rivals to improve their product in order to compete with Fox is highly suggestive of their inability to grasp the principles of Capitalism 101.TruthHurts001https://www.blogger.com/profile/01183674558757778892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-22401016423501740832009-10-26T17:19:33.685-07:002009-10-26T17:19:33.685-07:00Wall Street Journal now has more than twice as man...Wall Street Journal now has more than twice as many subscribers as the liberal Bible - NY Times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-28288266563066209082009-10-26T17:15:29.467-07:002009-10-26T17:15:29.467-07:00Truth: If the demand for what Fox does was signifi...Truth: If the demand for what Fox does was significant, there would be more than one conservative channel.

As far as it's news goes, it is one of the more liberal papers out there.<br /><br />Secondly, it doesn't take a conservative to know that alienating 50% or more of your potential audience is bad business. You know it, just like McClatchy knows it. It is a formula for failure and it is intentional. The only explanation is that your paper is counting on becoming a governmental extension.
