That would depend...if al,l or the majority, of the others are in the 2-4 million range then yes, it's MSM.

OK, let's break it down. 300 million people, about 240 million over age 14 so they get news from someplace even if it's on the radio while driving. 4 million out of 250 million watch O'Reilly which is not a news program but it is on the Fox News Channel. That means 250 million people still get there news from another source. Special Report with Bret Baier averages 2 million viewers, that's double Obey, and it's news. So you can say 2 million out of 250 million is enough to fit them into the mainstream media but that would be a sad attempt to make a point. Even if you used the 4 million number as news viewers, it's such a minute representation I don't see how you can call it "main" anything. > Assuming that's even what you're trying to argue (which is arguable at > this point, as you keep changing your definitions of stuff)... you're > tripping! =) How does less than 2% make it main? Please explain who's tripping. > I guess, technically, O'Reilly is part of either Fox, or etc.,... ? If you're claiming all 4 million people use O'Reilly as their only source of news it would still be less than 2% so it's not mainstream. > Just look at yourself, man. I know, arguing something so simple. You mocking me aren't you? This is another set up to get me to over explain the obvious again.

I was saying that local news is mainstream, ABC, NBC and CBS has enough viewers and listeners that they can use the term main. Cable news is such a tiny percentage it does not qualify. > It is starting to seem like you just bitch to bitch. Going so far as > to make up shit to bitch about, and attributing it to other people.

I wasn't talking about O'Reilly, I was just pointing out the low numbers of MSNBC They aren't the mainstream media either. NBC is though.
