Fox news ratings take a tumble

This is your idea of a tie?

Ahhh, so FOX News is still 1.5 times larger than CNN. Thanks for the
info! They're doing better than I thought.

It's interesting how people try to twist the facts to make it sound
like FOX News is doing poorly (losing viewers, etcetera), but they are
still in the #1 spot.

Losing viewers while the competition is gaining viewers is not doing
good, even if they are still #1. Roger Ailes understands that which is
why he has been so angry with
the Fox news staff lately.

This is called "spin". Last time I checked, being in first place is
still a geat place to be.

"... so angry with the Fox news staff lately"?

Do you have a source for that information, or are you referring
to an old story?

Somewhere, Keith Olbermann is sticking pins in a Bill O'Reilly voodoo
doll: Fox News' ratings, TVNewser reports, are down since August of

omarenoryt...

Yeah, O'Reilly better watch out, he only gets seven times as many
viewers as Olbermann.

Fox News' ratings, TVNewser reports, are down since August of

last year. Like, way down. Like down 28 percent in primetime among all
viewers, down 20 percent in primetime in the "money demo" (viewers aged
25-54) and down 7 percent in daytime viewership overall. In fact, the
only place Fox is up is during the day, when they managed a ratings
increase of just 2 percent, and even then only in the money demo.

And lest you think this is an industry-wide trend, consider this: over
the same time period, CNN and MSNBC are up. CNN's up 35 percent during
the day -- 46 percent in the money demo -- and up 21 percent in
primetime overall, 25 percent in the money demo. MSNBC's ratings
increases aren't quite as impressive -- up 6 percent in primetime
overall, 8 percent in the money demo, and up 36 percent in the money
demo during the day, 26 percent overall.

We, of course, are Fair and Balanced here, so there won't be any
celebrating later tonight. Certainly we will not be opening any
champagne. That would be wrong.

I don't know if it's just local but our Local Fox News over the
radio always ends with the tagline about - we let you decide -
or something similar. If you have to tell your audience that you
aren't lying to them at the end of every newscast clearly your
private polling is showing you taking big hits in the public
trust department.
