This is even greater than it appears because there are still hotels and communities where the cable doesn’t carry Fox News. Some must watch CNN by default (like in an airport, foreign resort, etc.) because Fox News isn’t a choice.
I’m pretty sure that the BORing One didn’t do so hot. Got beat by Hannity and Greta who focused on the election instead of themselves. Hopefully this is a lesson learned for BOR.

I find this surprising. I didn’t even bother much with FOX on election night. I wouldn’t have missed MSNBC that night for anything. The most fun I’ve had since Jane’s Christmas party.
I have to admit to flipping over to MSNBC a few times during the evening just to see what the Idiots were ranting about. I spent most of the night watching FOX.
Hard to believe that many people would like to take a head-first dive into a pile of sh*t, but there it is.
And I’d say a lot of the viewers on the alphabet channels were just watching to see the left meltdown after Brown won the election.
That’s after losing half of their audience too.
