Fox News Averaging About Same Number Of Viewers As MSNBC, CNN, HLN Combined

Hollywood Reporter:

Fox News is on track to have its most-watched year ever, showing significant ratings growth despite having just come off a highflying election year.

With the second quarter coming to a close, Fox News averaged about the same number of viewers as the top three other cable news networks combined. And while rivals including CNN (-22%) and MSNBC (-18%) took hits following last quarter's inauguration-fueled boost, Fox News (-3%) remained nearly steady.

Rupert Murdoch is a crook, a insidious crook that deceives.
He deals with dictators around the world, and suppress any investigative journalism that exposes the large corporation's endangering the public.
It should be called Faux News.

C'mon, it's not even fair to compare Fox with MSNBC--I travel all the time and none of the hotel chains, doctor's offices, fitness centers even carry it. CNN and HLN are comparable however.

That anyone chooses to watch Fox for news is major indictment of our education system.

Look, if all the right wing nuts tune in to Fox Spews, and the rest of the reasonable viewers are divided among, CNN, HNL, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, CBS, and NBC, what would you expect? Of course Faux is going to have a large audience of people who don't mind their position as a shill for the GOP.

If there is a 10-alarm fire ragin and with emergency personnel breaking all speed records to get to the scene of the crime, wouldn't you want to at least know what's going on? Who are the arsonists? What did they use to set the fire? Which one of them is going to make the "Most Loser" List?

I am real clear their ratings are not because of popularity, but because of pompus BS.

The Republican conservatives often refer to Reagan; it just goes to show they want to go back in time when whites dominated everything and colored people knew their places.

[YunekFlava]

Unfortunately for the Republican conservatives who often refer to Reagan, but that place has been completed obliterated, and that time is totally outdated. There's a new reckoning afoot.

I'm sorry, but all that proves is that

THERE ARE A LOT

OF UNINFORMED, STUPID PEOPLE

IN THE UNITED STATES!

intolerance sells..what a shocker

[GiannaX]

If MSNBC became a 24/7 news channel, like CNN and Faux, perhaps they would have a larger market share. How can they be a viable contender with the crime and punishment weekend programming?

Fox hires the best talent, that is their secret to the best ratings.

[GiannaX]

You're joking right?

[ccpostman]

You mean BEST spinners.

[gemzenith]

It is stupid to have cable if you have a computer.I can get everything I want over the interweb,not what 's going to be shoved in front of me.Why would I want to pay extra for crap?

[macchugsid]

I am one that believes that this is a direct result of Fox being a part of every cable package. They are essentially giving their channel to all who want it. This is why their ratings are so high. If all news channels were a part of every basic cable package we would be seeing significantly different numbers.

[Pigeon2]

Yawn...

[SoCalNick]

Good point. Besides we can READ and do not depend entirely on the Boob Tube to tell us stories with pretty pictures.

[huffyISaHottie]

i think we'd be shocked that how many people in the privacy of their own home are filled with rage...fox feeds that rage

[grumbles]

You give people a chance to see drama or a circus and they will choose the circus every time........

[josephXY]

Considering the 300 million, the media are not having the relevance given to them. And obviously
spend increasingly their time otherwise, can do without the entire crisis bunch. Can't blame them,
though.

[JakeMontero]

for a channel that non of you hu.ff posers watch why all the articles on faux? i just saw six articles on faux on this site. clearly if the hu.ff po.st stops writing about palin, faux and KO - what's left.

[amistad]

You watch too much faux news.

[dadw5boys]
