Look at the three on in the morning on fox, and then the five at 5:00. Vile people! How Bob Beckel puts up with that guy Eric Bolling I do not know.

$$$$$$$$ but of course I could be mistaken.

But #1 for viewers, Other than Media Matters who point out their lies
I don't know a lot of people who watch Fox thinking this is the best news source.
They LOVE the Obama bashing, but thats all fox does, but not news.

And the Romans loved their gladiatorial games.

it's the meanness, the savagery, and the incivility that attracts people.

Hell, people still watch Reality TV, which is nothing but a genre dedicated to tearing people down in front of millions of viewers.

His guests are quite uncivil, but people love the cat fights between the women. Personally, I think a lot of it is staged, but it is entertaining.

totally devoted to debunking all the bullshit FOX spews daily.
A dream, I know.

its democratic government (small d) is "uncivil".

What a polite thing to say.

They're features.

Try the Internet.

Fox News is the "reality tv" of news. Like Jersey Housewives or Survivor, "controversy" sells, "civility" costs rating points. "Civility" is not a goal.

A Fox panel discussion consists of a few people with views ranging from "the right" all the way to "the very, very far right". Then, they all talk at the same time so nobody can hear anything that's being said. Excellent entertainment, if not exactly informative.

Fox News is probably very proud of the "least civil" award. It'll be hanging on their wall.

53% find Fox civil. I think this poll shows that all of these networks appear to be considered about the same and I would agree.

If that many think fox is civil, what difference does the comparisons make? This poll does not make or break the case for fox, or any other network.

Weber Shandwick, Powell Tate and KRC Research polled 1,000 people in April for their annual "Civility In America" study. Thirty-five percent of participants said that Fox News is "uncivil," while 53% described it as "civil."

CNN and MSNBC fared slightly better. Thirty-one percent considered MSNBC "uncivil" and 49% "civil." Thirty-one percent of respondents thought CNN was "uncivil," and 53% "civil." PBS was considered most civil of the networks.

What a fucking stupid question to ask. Yeah, the lack of civility is the main problem. *That's* what's important.

We are urged to focus on the lack of "civility," while our media has become a wasteland of news-free propaganda and infotainment.
