This is just as true like while Fox is top on ratings over other cablers, it also sufferred ratings hit. Remember during 2002, whenever President makes a prime-time or SOTU speech FNC came very near to catch broadcast networks. EveryOne was predicting FNC was about to beat broadcast networks. Unfortunately, FNC started to hire liberals from other networks and sometimes more hostile to Bush & Republicans.
A caller to C-Span just said that he thinks Unity 08 could win with a ticket of Ron Paul and Mike Gravell. LOLOL.
I've noticed this and have wondered why they would make such a lousy decision. Why would you take what has you winning and drop it for becoming a clone of all the others? I gave up trying to figure it out, and just quit watching FNC as well.
