Again like I knew you would you have chosen minuscule parts - you are embarrassing
I could go through and do the same as before and provide the evidence from that which out weighs what you have deemed to give you some kind of victory
Like basic stuff they estimate that if Fox News hadn't existed, the Republican presidential candidate’s share of the two-party vote would have been 3.59 points lower in 2004 and 6.34 points lower in 2008.
For context, that would've made John Kerry the 2004 popular vote winner, and turned Barack Obama's 2008 victory into a landslide where he got 60 percent of the two-party vote.
These are big effects, with major societal implications. The authors find that the Fox News effect translates into a 0.46 percentage point boost to the GOP vote share in the 2000 presidential race, a 3.59-point boost in 2004, and a 6.34-point boost in 2008; the boost increases as the channel's viewership grew. This effect alone is large enough, they argue, to explain all the polarization in the US public's political views from 2000 to 2008.

" This paper studies the impact of media bias upon voting. We consider one of the most dramatic changes in the U. S. media in recent years, the sudden introduction and expansion of the Fox News cable channel from 1996 to 2000. We exploit the natural experiment induced by the timing of the entry of the Fox News channel in local cable markets. We find a significant effect of exposure to Fox News on voting. Towns with Fox News have a 0.4 to 0.7 percentage point higher Republican vote share in the 2000 presidential elections, compared to the 1996 elections. A vote shift of this magnitude is likely to have been decisive in the 2000 elections. We also find an effect on vote share in Senate elections, which Fox News did not cover, suggesting that the Fox News impact extends to general political beliefs. Finally, we find evidence that Fox News increased turnout to the polls. Based on this evidence and on microlevel audience data, we estimate that exposure to Fox News induced a substantial percentage of the non-Republican viewers to vote for the Republican party, 3 to 8 percent according to the more inclusive audience measure, and 11 to 28 percent according to the more restrictive measure. These estimates are consistent with field, laboratory, and survey evidence of media effects on political beliefs and voting. We interpret the persuasion effect as a temporary learning effect for rational voters or a permanent effect for voters subject to nonrational persuasion. These results suggest that the media can have a sizeable political impact. This paper leaves a number of open questions. First, while we analyze the extensive margin of voting, we do not consider the effect on the intensity of political convictions of Republican voters. In ongoing research, we study the impact on the intensive margin of campaign contributions. Second, we have not directly examined the impact on policy-making. While a vote shift toward Republicans is likely to induce a change in policy [Lee, Moretti, and Butler 2004], direct evidence documenting this effect would 1228 QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS be interesting. Finally, we hope that more evidence on the effect of other sources of media bias, such as local papers and radio talk shows, will complement the evidence in this paper. "
So back to my earlier point about Murdochs son
You going to answer that?
Or are you going to pipe down now because i'm only firing the first salvo and am really holding back at the moment
