Fox News Most-Watched Channel On Cable In Prime Time Weekly Ratings

CNN and MSNBC also saw a boost in the network standings, with CNN the fifth most watched cable network for the week with a 1.8 rating and 2.38 million viewers, and MSNBC was ninth overall with a 1.3 rating and 1.55 million viewers.

Gee! I was never polled but its the only station I watch these days. I don’t even watch the local news.

Sometimes watch college Football or NFL on the old networks but that is it.

Even my 13 year old son watches Fox News on his own.

I've had it with Fox too... too much kissing up to Obama and the libs these days for my taste.

Have to agree they have the Messiah on too much. Right now they are spinning Jesse. (Alan Colmes) Jesse does represent Barack Obama as his son is a Co-Campaign Chairman.

More total people watched MSNBC and CNN combined which goes to show the liberals still dominate.

Fox has been dominating the ratings for the past several weeks. I hope that this has opened some eyes about 0bama and will translate into votes on election day.

that have taken over America.

With those two clowns plus Chrissy I'm surprised they are even 9. They, along with CNN’s resident bomb thrower, Mcaffrey (sp?) are just plain hard to watch for anyone even remotely not completely delusional.

Wish they would stop running the Erectile Dysfunction and Alzheimer commercials. Kind of depressing - and I mean it’s like over and over . . .

I hate those ads but lately I have found that the people in the ads are very comical. Can you imagine saving your powder blue suit from the wedding in the 70’s and actually putting it on and floating down the stairs to the Mrs. who is comfortably reading in the sunlight! My point is the people that are in the ads are weird and I am just damn glad I don’t have any of them as neighbors!
Whew, may be I do-——

It seems Fox has given up on being fair and balanced. I guess they realize they’re the only network that isn’t in the tank for Obama and they feel no need to be helpful to Obama at all.

Sorry, but I disagree. They are still “F & B” but the leftists take over and dominate the play! THAT, is what pisses me off. I wish, just once, the FNS blond body would tell the dem troll to STFU!!!
