Now, isn't this interesting. According to the Drugde Report, as reported in Accuracy in the Media, Fox news is getting more web hits than the New York Times, but still looses out to the Weather.

To be fair, the Hitwise Report Drudge linked to pointed out that when measuring market share of visits, they didn’t count traffic to the nytimes.com sub domains. Still, it is telling that when it came to the most popular search terms in the news category, the rankings fell like this:

1. Weather (0.72%)
2. Fox News (0.40%)
3. CNN (0.39%)
4. Drudge Report (0.25%)
5. Facebook (0.24%)

The New York Times did not make it into the top 20 of that list; the Huffington Post made it only so far as number 20.

Let's hear it for Weather! =D>

Well, yeah. On the NYT website you gotta, you know, read, and stuff. Also, fewer blondes.

Yes it is. It's really interesting. Just the fact that the Huff Po is #20. I mentioned the Huff Po once here and got blank stares. (HUH?) CNN is #3. Facebook (that's a news source?) is #5. I'll grant you it's not "Fascinating" but it's "Interesting."

Aren't there many articles on NYT website that you have to pay to read? That would contribute to their lower number of viewers.

when they think they're the majority, we're a bunch of fringe bigots. when we reveal to them that they're in the minority, it turns into "whatever, man, americans are dumb anyway". liberals fucking crack me up.

Comedians crack me up.

Sorry jonsey...that's why I never laugh at your jokes =(

Nothing fringe about you.

You spew enough fucking sensationalist propaganda and you'll always increase your audience.
What? Did you think there was a shortage of sheeple???
'fraid not.

How the hell do you think Hitler got into power?

One might wish that the world were as simple as you perceive it, but upon further reflection, I'm glad it isn't.

i don't have time to type everything i perceive about the world. no need to reduce me to pixels and words. i'm a person too, ya know, and not as simple minded as most people here like to think.

I apologize for the inadvertent puerility of my posts. I will endeavor to make them sound erudite whilst not containing any actual content. That would, I suspect, be similar to the current atmosphere of this subforum.

i honestly did not use a thesaurus. the only obscure word is puerility and i know that because i took latin. so nyehh

MY POINT IS, you shouldn't give a rat's ass how i sound if you look at the actual content of my posts.

I don't trust anything on that list---especially not the Weather.

I subscribe only to the OffTopicsNewsService.

I think the problem is that the number of hits doesn't actually reflect the number of people who agree with the site.

Also, Accuracy in Media sure is unbiased I guess....
