Fox News: The Honky News Network

I blame Obama...
The New York Times' Brian Stelter tweeted that, according to Nielsen Media Research, Fox News has averaged just 29,000 black viewers in primetime so far this television season (9/09-7/10). That represents just 1.38% of its 2.102 million total viewer audience.

CNN and MSNBC, meanwhile, both have far more black viewers, both in absolute terms and as a proportion of their overall audiences.
Totally expect Fox to maintain that their black audience was too busy robbing people or watching basketball to tune in.

Hilarious, I love it.

As a black consumer, I watch and read all news coverage with race-scrutiny. Fox at least keeps their opinions well above-board -- there is no mistaking their racist reporting slant.

No. Wait.
This is news?

What is race-scrutiny?

Maybe Bill O can go back to that Harlem restaurant and try to drum up some new viewers.

Congratulations FNC, It takes a lot of hard work to maintain purity.

"As a black consumer, I watch and read all news coverage with race-scrutiny."

race
a group of persons related by common descent or heredity

scrutiny
a searching examination or investigation

So, I give a searching examination or investigation of how all news coverage depicts a group of persons related by common descent or heredity.

I hope this helps.

Got it, anon. Very helpful.

Say, can only black consumers give these searching examinations, or can any good ole' consumer do it?
