Michael Wolff: Fox News Is "Not Very Popular"

Michael Wolff, who wrote a book about Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch titled "The Man Who Owns the News," argues that even though Fox News is dominant in cable news ratings, they are "not very popular in this country."

"We're talking under 2 million people... It's a really marginal extreme presence in the United States," said Wolff, who is also a contributing editor of "Vanity Fair."

Wolff and Chris Matthews also spend time talking about Rush Limbaugh's "dittoheads."

@lovejen01 bull

[ocerg1111]

@FrankeeFraud i dunno, why didnt fox criticize Bush's cocaine habit?

[lovejen01]

@ocerg1111 well considering i was in Iraq during OIF2 and talked to some of the former military that were our adviser, yes. Second Saddam was turned to the Iraqis and they dealt with him. If you recall lot of Iraqis were cheering when he was executed.

[ocerg1111]

@lovejen01 so that makes it ok for bush to do what he did? Do you seriously buy the lie that Bush killed Saddam ou of some sense of defending the weak? Have you really drunk that much FOX coolaid?

[lovejen01]

@ocerg1111 well first Saddam gassed 300,000 Kurds in the 80's speaking of which we did find mustard gas include facilities also the proof gave to Syria. Don't forget that most of the false documents were from the Clinton Administration which Richard Clarke and George Tennenat Lied.

[lovejen01]

@ocerg1111 that is left wing lie as well, the tax cuts were straight across the board, the left gave oil companies billions, don't forget about Clinton and Gore selling the oil reserves and keeping the money for themselves.

@lovejen01 the WMD reports were LIES, thus the war was illegal. Congress voted based on FALSIFIED DOCUMENTS.
