I think we have all heard the bashing of Fox News as the White House – particularly Anita Dunn, White House communications director – has dubbed Fox News a “wing of the Republican Party”. Yet interestingly enough, that argument by the Obama Administration isn’t getting much traction.

According to a poll conducted for the League of American Voters by the Global Marketing Research Center, of those polled, 46% watch Fox News just about every day. Interesting numbers there except that the 46 percent in question are either Democrats or independents; also consider that 50% watch FNC several times a week or more.

Overall, the poll discovered that 21% watched Fox News every day and 18% watched the network several times a week. So combined, 39% watch Fox News Channel several times a week or more.

And there’s more:

• Among Democrats, 17 percent watched it several times each week or more.

• Among Independents, 46 percent watched the station several times each week or more.

• And among Republicans, 55 percent watched it several times each week or more.

Meanwhile, the poll discovered that 11% watch CNN just about every day and 20% watched the network several times a week or more; combined, 31% said they watch CNN several times a week or more. Then there’s BSNBC MSNBC.

According to the poll, 10% watch the network daily and just 8% watch MSNBC several times a week or more; combined, just 18% watch the network several times a week or more. By the way, so you can rest assured that this was not a poll conducted by some wing of the Republican Party, the poll was taken from a statistically valid national sample of 800 individuals. Of those respondents, 36% voted the Democratic ticket while 32% voted the GOP ticket; 24% stated they voted both parties equally.

Folks, I do not know about you, but this should provide ample evidence that Fox News Channel is not a “wing of the Republican Party”. Also keep in mind that FNC has Democrats on their payroll (Alan Colmes, Juan Williams, Bob Beckel to name a few), so the lame argument by the Obama Administration has no merit whatsoever. It also proves that the administration is actually scared of the network.
