I quit watching Fox, or any TV news, because of their "mainstream" commentary.
FNC has many many more viewers than the other CABLE stations. The MSM alphabets have millions more viewers.
Hi Justa,
Ailes' comment was in a long profile article by a LATimes reporter, so I do not know exactly what Ailes actually said, only her interpretation. Maybe he means to be taking on the broadcast channels or CNNInternational or BBC. I don't know.
I read the entire article which was one-half of a page in the Baltimore Sun, because I wanted to see how Rush's association with Ailes was covered. It wasn't even mentioned! Roger Ailes was the producer of Rush's TV show, of which my mother has a videotape of every show!
"Isn't Fox already the largest outlet of TV news?
"
Not even close. The broadcast networks so far outnumber the cable news vendors that it's not even funny. Check out the number of viewers for the network evening news.
Despite scorn for the MSM, it still reaches far more people than all the cable news put together.
