25-54 Demo

Day:
CNN (main and headline) + MSNBC = 400 NRs
Fox News = 271 NRs

Prime:
CNN (main and headline) + MSNBC = approx 600 NRs
Fox News = approx 400 NRs

mediabistro.com: TVNewser

Even on Cable News...Fox gets rocked on the key demo of 25-54

You want ALL VIEWERS? Let's compare ratings with the real players

CBS, NBC, ABC News = Over 20 million viewers
Fox News = At it's very highest moment, BillO gets the networks highest ratings at roughly 2 million viewers

FOXNews.com - NBC Surfs to the Top of Nielsen Ratings - Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Arts And Entertainment
(Ironic I'm getting these numbers from Fox News

That's right, the best fox news ratings are 1/10th of what other news programs get...oh that's unfair, all of "left wing america" v. right wing america? Ok...I thought this was the free market and right wing would dominate everyone...but fine, let's make this one and one matches

NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams(the big liberal network BillO hates): 7.5 million
BillO: 2 million

NBC alone get's almost 4x as many viewers as BillO

So there you have it, why Fox isn't very impressive and infact gets crushed

I don't watch it. I used to, before I realized just how biased and misleading it was and decided I didn't want to be misinformed like the rest of their viewers.

It took you that long to know they leaned conservative? After all, just a few months ago you were watching O'Reilly

Oh, sorry, it was a yr ago. Still, that wasn't that long ago

Watching some clip or segment is different than turning to the channel to get actual news.

If I watch O'RLY now it's for pure comedic value, because he, like the rest of that station, is a huge joke.

It's completely obvious. Liberal lawmakers want to make a law where 3 hours of Rush has to be countered with 3 hours of (something liberal).

Now liberals want to boycott advertisers of Fox News to try to get Fox to quit not being Liberal


It would be funny if people didn't take it so seriously like the liberals and/or Democrats in this thread that have no problem with either.

Yeah, honestly...

Fox News comes on and says a big progressive network is "like the nazis" and conservatives expect them to just take it

Sorry my right-wing friend, the real world doesn't work like that, if I call your significant other a whore, you're not going to buy anything from the business I own, now are you?

I don't think you tie the two together. Rupert merely owns the network, as with many others. Do you really think he called Bill O and told him waht to do or say?

Dude, the guy owns companies all over the world. Yes, I think he hires people that he trusts, and lets them do their thing.

There is NO way he has a say on everything that goes on in all his companies, especially one little segment that Bill O does.

What about this guy? Roger Ailes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why do you think RP hired him, and why do you think he's such a GOP attack dog?

Because the Dems have nobody else actually worth attacking

It's sad that they've lowered themselves to attacking TV channels to the point that it's influencing their decisions in the presidential candidacies, don't you think?

And, frankly, RP is the one that's being attacked here, and that's why I made it a point to ask why. Go ahead, questino those that work for Fox directly...they are actually the ones making the decisions

It's sad that Americans lowered themselves to attacking a small part time author to the point that it's influencing their decisions in a presidential candidate

No wait, Ann Coulter is vicious and deserves to be part of a campaign

Does she really, or are you just giving her what she wants? I don't think she deserves it much at all, just like the GOP candidates in 04 didn't pay much attention to Michael Moore.

The Democrats tend to swallow up their time pursuing worthless causes. It happens time and time again. Perhaps they need to refocus?

Uh, if a Democrat appears with Ann Coulter, its big news

If a Democrat appears on Fox News, depending on who they are and the circumstances...it could be big news
