My guess is that if NBC only gets 4%(5-25) then the networks you are referring to are probably at less than 1%.

FWIW Alex, I consider "news" just a form of propaganda to shape an individual's view of the world. It's hard for me to imagine a person getting a steady diet of it & thinking that they are informed. I just have an aversion to being manipulated. smile

Richard, I'm no big fan of Fox programming. I think they have taken things down a notch with their regular programming. Also, I do not own a TV.

But, I can certainly understand why their "news" is popular, just as I can understand the popularity of the Limbaugh program.

Nevertheless, you need to understand that "enlightened" people do not watch Fox; i.e. at least in their own minds they are enlightened. wink

James, You just need to look at Daniel Shore as NPR's unique form of amusement. 8O

Regarding NPR, occasionally I hear some really good stuff on there, but my God, you have to wade through a lot of crap to get to it. sad

Magd, You make some very good points. In the area I live in(central Louisiana), I can assure you that very few people in this area would watch C-span, BBC, etc., if you paid them to. A large group of the population cannot speak proper English.

Not having a TV, I guess I could listen to the BBC streaming over the net. I do not believe C-span has streaming audio. DR

IMO, Johnson's Great Society policies are responsible for a great many of the worst aspects of American culture. I assume he is to blame for the escalation of the VN war. How many US servicemen had been killed in '63 when Kennedy was shot?

Thank God that POS only had one full term.
