###### Allthough still the cable-leader, Fox News ratings slide 15 to 20% during February. Slide is almost equal on all the shows - the most affected was H&C which lost a little over half million viewers and down to #4 from #2 status.

They're losing us. More and more of us are only tuning in once in awhile if at all. FOX used to be fair and balanced but it's becoming Lib Lite lately.

Yes, it's like FOX is just following along with the MSM story line these days. I only watch it for a brief time to see what's blown up, who's missing, etc.--I get most of my REAL news from FreeRepublic.

That slide might be due to the Olympics. I don't think I watched FOX News Channel at all during February, and went to bed most nights when Special Report was on so I could be up early to watch hockey in the mornings.

Correct. I turned to Fox to hear the news that would not be aired on other news channels. Then I just kept Fox on every day, muted, in case they showed a live event of President Bush, because no other channel was as reliable in doing that.
These past few weeks I just turned the TV off, forgoing the chance to hear the President. Looking at the face of that kid from Aruba was the last straw.

Don't they only tape a few programs every few months? They've had the same guests, the same topics, the same argument, over and over for 3 years (I got cable 3 years ago, never heard of H&C before that, quit watching after a year of the same-o every night).

I can't take Fox's silly morning shows anymore. The weekend is the worst. I actually was watching CNN but then they go political.

I'll tell you if CNN could stick to their strength, breaking news, Pentagon and international reporting, I'd switch to them. They always have to go political and that makes me go back to silly Fox.

Actually, CNN's Katrina reporting was excellent the first few days and then they discovered the perfect storm...Katrina and an anti-Bush agenda.
