Not surprising. But how does FNC's viewer decline compare to CNN's or MSNBC's?

[Coop]

So this appears to be a hit piece, posted by you on another forum, supposedly originating from a CNN news release.

[yawn]

FNC - still kicking butt and taking names.

[RAY]

I rely on Fox cable news a lot less than before. To much M Jackson and such.

[dakine]

FNC is no longer on in this household...maybe again in the fall of '07/spring of '08 (or fall of '06)....too boring most of the time....

The scary news from TV Newser for this past week? No worries.

Worldnet Daily sees things differently as of a few months ago. (February)

CNN tanking as Fox News surges

...In contrast, Fox News was the only news network on cable to see viewership increases in February, as it outpaced all other cable news companies combined for the sixth straight month. "FNC averaged 1.57 million viewers in primetime, up 18 percent from the same period last year, while CNN fell 21 percent to 637,000 viewers from the same time period," Variety stated. The growth appeared across the board at Fox News:

• "On the Record With Greta Van Susteren" up 37 percent;
• "Hannity & Colmes" up 19 percent;
• "Special Report With Brit Hume" up 20 percent;
• and "The O'Reilly Factor," up 9 percent.

Yo illbill! Here is a thread you can chew on while you get chewed on. Unlike you, conservative freepers do care about the source and the truth. Lying Trolls like you are tiresome as the rats reach their end days.

NEW YORK President Bush's job approval rating dropped to near its lowest point, in the new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday.

Forty-six percent of 1,006 adults polled over the weekend said they approved of the overall job Bush is doing. The 46% percent figure is down about 4% points since a poll taken at the beginning of May.

Breaking news: 99.9% of FReepers think illbill is a troll.

Ah... flaming trolls smell so sweet....
