That’s the most ignorant analysis of news viewership I have seen in ages. By definition an independent isn’t going to be tied down to one specific network to get their news and I hate to tell you there are plenty of Republicans and conservatives who enjoy watching the News Hour on PBS–my dad was in the Air Force for over two decades and voted Republican all his life (until this year, he thinks the Iraq war is idiotic and although McCain was his man in 2000 the McCain of 2008 disappoints him) and he watches the News Hour, BBC, Fox, CNN, and MSNBC. Are there more liberal listeners/viewers of NPR/PBS? Of course but they are not a majority because there is no majority for those two networks as plenty of Independents and Republicans prefer a thorough analysis of the world’s and America’s events that doesn’t devolve into a diatribe against the opposition. I hate to tell you but the world is not so black and white nor is it divided along the ideological lines the media likes to promote because us vs. them creates more ratings than a nuanced discussion of matters.

I would if it were almost any other station (except MSNNBC), when a news channel has anobvious bias it can be expected to be ignored.

If MSNBC came out with a Biden wins and all the rest said that Palin won you would ignore that as well.
