FoxNews.com is the "MySpace" of news sites

Not terribly surprising:

"Foxnews.com averages around 12 million or 13 million monthly unique users, according to Nielsen Online, rarely approaching the 35 million to 40 million uniques that leaders Yahoo News, MSNBC and CNN regularly deliver in aggregate."


I hate to rely on "analogies" because bullshit analogies are what drives most conservative thought [see, "if only we let college students have guns" and "Mexico wants to reconquer New Mexico, Arizona and California"].

However, I know a few FoxNews viewers who have the internet (or as they still call it "America On-Line"), they are the only people I know that mass-forward bullshit emails. Those people don't browse much on line, they just get their Spam of the day and forward it to the rest of us for *sighs* and *giggles* and a 30 second reply citing Snopes.com's evisceration of the bullshit.

They probably supply a lotta traffic at the NAMBLA site, too.

I used to Snopes them but now I just delete before reading. It's not worth the useless aggravation.
Much like my avoidance of all things Faux News.
