I -- to get to Cowell told us now for how all daily -- bash -- joining us via Skype I would assume from his bunker you.

Then there is -- good job and it just seems certain if post convention world I'm just glad they're -- up.

Yes me too much to both -- -- highlight for me was the North Carolina barbecue but the rest of the back.

-- -- you know we what are we -- -- did just as an aside Kelly also views on the question of the day today.

I did the conventions change your opinion of the presidential candidates -- -- full.

181 point 1% so why -- got -- -- Carol spending so much money on them.

I think one of the reasons of course the cost is the media being Huron Northern Virginia rightly want to swing states we're seeing him.

Our Romney campaign ads and Obama campaign ads literally back to back.

But one then Obama runs of course on television -- forward with the -- and -- the Ronnie when the follows it closes backward.

-- -- they're spending a lot of money -- television stations could not be happier but I don't know if this were you that many votes I guess we'll see after the election.

-- they never New York biased question of the day did did did the big -- the sort of big players in the media trying to insert themselves in the election process is that what we have seen by the well you know the.

Polls have shown for some years after the media believe the big media anyway things ahead of themselves as the fourth branch of government.

Behind the executive judicial and the legislative and some of the polls have shown that they consider themselves even more important.

But all of these -- and you know audio guests earlier is talking on the Sunday shows.

I yesterday need to press face the nation under believe this week formally rescinded Wrigley.

As you would think yeah yeah -- got to get Norah O'Donnell for example I was sitting in for Bob Schieffer on nothing -- the nation.

Compared.

Paul Ryan's a claim of any.

Of his run a marathon 22 years ago.

I'll with Al Gore is claim that he invented the Internet Internet -- me -- quite a distraction and David Gregory used to tease out himself.

Suggesting that Romney might wanna a compromise with the president raise taxes but this is -- these -- the -- through which.

Most of the big liberal media see everything.

That is taxes.

To be raised are the solution.

To balancing the budget win any honest person would tell you that it is this spending stupid not to taxes.

And -- Arabs and more than one commentators pointed out including myself if you confiscated all of the wealth of the richest millionaires and billionaires in this country.

It would pay for about a couple of days of government spending.

So I think you know you look at this in a primary guest or -- residency.

Don't giving more money the government is like giving more money to Dracula hoping you won't cure a lot of.

How it always strikes or -- strikes me a lot these days that that a lot of people out watching the media or reading the newspapers.

Only read and -- that wind which today.

Agree.

The conservatives tend to look for more conservative outlets.

Democrats liberals tend to look for more liberal democratic.

-- so it doesn't really change anything I guess is my point these days that the media taking a position because it seems to be world talking woman big echo chamber.

-- -- -- -- -- The three broadcast networks.

I sure most of the people were liberal but that nevertheless it was a lot more fair and balanced as we say on fox.

Than it is today.

Just take a look at the ratings from the two conventions fox scored very very -- with a Republican Convention.

Where is MSNBC and CNN did not but -- the Democratic Convention fox did not do as well and MSNBC and CNN did much better.

That's why I think that's -- talk radio as well people tune in to those.

Outlets now in the media that.

We seem to have lost cal told us our -- -- and they shelled areas.

Sorry I am as well as I was saying -- -- -- before I was censored by the CIA.

People tune -- to things that mostly support their point of view and I think that's a shame and I was growing -- the business side.

I watched and then read other opinions I still do.

But most people now just tune -- to those things that reinforce their previously held views and I don't think that's really helpful.

I totally agree with -- -- urge everybody always to read the opposition view it's.

Makes us all about it nation -- gonna say good -- because of these technical issues but thank you very much thank you gotta go to Kroger capital are going to see you -- -- calls -- -- Every weekend and all -- line above all those discussing these sort of media matters on FOX News Watch posted by Jon -- to thirty.

At 11:30 PM eastern on this.
