In order to have propaganda you must first have listenership and viewership for it to be effective....
In order to get you message accross you must have a significant audience...
The writing is clearly on the wall for cable news. Nobody believes you anymore. You have become nothing but opinionated tabloid crap that I can easily otain and save myself time by reading the headlines on any political website.
Fox News likes to boast the highest cable ratings but what does that mean?
It means nothing. It's like me saying I took first place in a pie eating contest with three other contestants....
I took these averages off of

These number demonstrate the decline in total viewership from last years election night numbers. Nobody really gave a crap and nobody is watching Cable News.

CNN -63%
MSNBC -67%
CNBC -45%
Fox News -36%
HLN -29%
Fox News had about 4,000,000 viewers for the night while everyone else had less than 1,000,000.
So when everyone gets in a panic about punditry and the message the fact of the matter is that the slanted message only reaches a small amount of the electorate. Fox News die hards are never ever going to vote for a Democrat as are the MSNBC die hard pundit viewers ever going to vote for a Republican. The election will be determined by our economy and whether Congress gets off their asses and does what we elected them to do, not what "Big Business" wants them to do....
This special election was not about Obama no matter how hard the Pundits want to spin it. The Polls show this and the only people who believe this punch line are the righties who lost NY-23...LOL
Screw Cable News, that is why I don't watch it period....
