First off , its not a "Free Republic Article". It's a News Max article

Man, you do not have to be so nasty.
I will accept that the numbers are off because the source is unreliable and because you say so.
But I am sure that I have been a faithful viewer of Fox News Channel for a number of years and they have gone completely off track with the rest of the MSM this past week.
I also know that I am not the only faithful viewer of Fox news who is disappointed in the inferior reporting from them lately.

Stop whining. I wasn't nasty. I wanted to get your attention and I did. Next time, don't cut and run from debate.

Never said the numbers were off. But that wasn't my point. My post to "blackie" RE:#56 shows the actual overnight cablenews ratings. Fox is still #1 and its ratings haven't slipped. Fox`s ratings have gone up. That is contrary to your statement that Fox numbers are "sinking fast" and "virtually tied" with CNN. Both remarks are not true.

>>>>"Their cable ratings are sinking fast....
>>>>They are virtually tied right now."

In your opinion, Fox has gotten off track with the rest of the MSM. I don't see it. I've been watching all three cablenews outlets before, during and in the aftermath of Katrina making landfall. CNN has picked up the tempo of their overall presentation, but they are nowhere near Fox when it comes to professionalism, individual personalities and the all important entertainment factor. And believe me, good news reporting has a strong entertainment factor at its core. Fox has mostly stayed away from reporting stories with a strong negative slant to them. Such reproting is purely biased in nature. Such reporting is nothing more then fingerpointing and engaging in the blame game that is mainly directed at the Bush administartion.

CNN is the liberals cablenews outlet. When a breaking news story happens, the liberal establishment in America turns to CNN to get the vast majority of their news. That gives CNN a short term boost in the ratings, but nothing more.
