Bush is the winner...maybe....

I goes both ways:

I got a post pulled about Bush Country Ketchup. It seemed innocent enough but if the owners of the site don't like it, they have the right to pull it! It's their site!

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( For cable viewers, the number one network is FOX, although I've not seen numbers on how it stacks up against the 3 major networks on broadcast news stories. )</font>

For that channel alone, I'm glad I have cable. It's been on (in the background in my office) since 2AM this morning. I believe they're way ahead of the others on the election and other subjects.
As for viewership, it comes down to how they rate a "viewer". CNN still gets more "viewer" hits a day but Fox gets more "viewer" minutes.
Not using specific numbers, here's approx. how it goes.

2 million people go to CNN per day and watch for 6 minutes (like Bob said, to get the headlines or breaking stories). CNN then has 12 million viewer minutes.

.5 million people go to FNC per day but watch for 30 minutes. FNC then has 15 million viewer minutes.

So, who's the most watched? Do you count the actual people or how many people watch for how long?

MaineGuy, I don't see any political posts here. Facts about what might have made the election the way it was, but no particular leanings. Besides, if this was CNN, well, never mind....

"Bush is the winner...maybe...."

A very true statement, he just might regret a second term, it will not be an easy one.
Just an observation

Changed the oil in my tractor yesterday, so that this is a tractor related post /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Alan is right. This isn't considered politics. If this starts to turn into a "political" thread, which is where there is political debate and opinions, then it would be closed. The threads on the election have only been informative and not confrontational or in a way to invite debate and thus it usually turns ugly. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

<font color="blue"> I would agree with you except that I received this PM a couple of months ago:</font>
PM = Private Message.

While what Muhammad told you is public knowledge (for anyone who reads the TOS or FAQ), disclosing the contents of a PM without the senders permission is a breach of etiquette. I assume you had his permission, correct?

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Is this CNN or TBN? I thought there was a no politics policy on the web site????? It seems to me that some people on this discussion group can give their political views but others get their posts pulled. I know this from personal experience. I have also been told that post would be pulled because of political content and they were not removed. There is a double standard on this site concerning this issue. What's up with that?

I really don't think this thread is about politics. There is no discussion about who would be the better candidate or who's view is the correct one. All the original poster is stating is who the the winner is to be less any more Florida's or anything like that. Now if the original poster said "Bush is the winner along with his reasons or dislikes, then it would be politics.

Realy no different to me if the poster said "Boston Red Sox is the winner"

Yeah, no politics... while this thread is more of a "news item" I'm going to lock it before people get into the political side of the discussion.

As for the double standard... well, there is only one presidental election every four years so I think we can afford some slack so long as no arguments ensue.
