When you say "would take him off the air", are you talking about hoping he gets canned cause he sucks? Or are you talking about having the government -force- him off the air, the way the Canadian government did?
I have a very hard time believing that conservatives would support the latter. I suspect you're conflating an expression of desire for the former with the latter, which is obviously unfair on an entire slew of different levels.

Bottom line is Fox News is DOMINATING the ratings. Pure and simple. The Nelson ratings show every single Fox News primetime show besting in the ratings than any other show on CNN, MSNBC or CNBC.
I have always said the deep down the majority of Americans are conservative in nature. FNC is not a "Conservative" network but it does give them the best platform, the most honest platform to speak from.
The viewing public are the ones that decide which network has the best ratings. Personaly O'Rielly is a bit "Pompus" for my liking but I still watch.
Funny you never read or hear WHY Fox News has DOMINATED the ratings. Do the liberals think that Karl Rove has secretly installed chips in Cable and Sat boxes to block CNN and others for FNC? The way they are acting since the elction, I expect to see an article posted here on Freep sayhing exactly that.
