Newser ^ | December 1, 2011 | Mark Russell

Fox News is still leading the cable news ratings race—but for how long? Fox's overall ratings for November dropped 13% compared to the same month last year, reports Mediabistro.

I have not watched Fox since Britt Hume stopped doing Special Report. I got tired of seeing Brett Bair kissing Obama’s ass. O’Reilly is just a jerk and I can’t stomach him either. My tv set never even pauses on their channel anymore and I don’t miss it one bit.

“Replacing Beck with Bob Beckel was the last straw!”

Glenn Beck was exposing too much of the intertwined workings of the Liberal organizations that are attempting to overthrow the USA.

Bob Beckel is a blowhard.

A lot of difference between the two.

’ I miss Glenn,’

Get a Roku box and subscribe to GBTV. It is great and has a better picture than cable. I did and I really don’t miss FOX so much.

Replacing Beck with Beckel was an insult. Bye-Bye Fox.

“Julian Epstein, who lies about Fast and Furious”

Julian Epstein has lied about Everything for years. To an uneducated viewer he “sounds” like he knows what he’s talking about, but he’s a DNC operative like so many others and can lie with a straight face and modulated tones. Just like Obama.

Agree.

Fox is no longer Fair and Balanced - more like - Scared and Challenged.

Beckle is a frothing-at-the-mouth fascist neanderthal, and Colmes, well....he’s just a moron.

FNC was a good balance to CNN and the other propaganda outlets.

Now....not so much.

One can only take so much of repeated scoldings from Bill O’Reilly, Karl Rove and Ann Coulter telling us that MITT IS IT and we’re idiots if we can’t see that.

Same with hannity’s radio show. As soon as Karl and Ann show up behind the mike I change the station.

I thought the same thing. Hard to tell with this one. Too new. Came in as a die hard Palin fan, could be a lie or could be a disgruntled fan. Time will tell. Odd screen name too. TexasCajun but lives in Maryland.

I was going to post on this thread until I saw who posted and decided, just in case, not to fall into a possible concern troll’s trap.

Don’t forget Hannity’s buddy - “The Architect”. I can barely watch FOX anymore.

It's so tiring to see old-time Freepers and newbies who none of the candidates are perfectly Conservative enough for them and then this one says FOX News, the only outlet that actually gives Conservatives a voice, isn't Conservative enough the way MSNBC is liberal.

Ailes is a Rino too, it seems.

For the past two months, CNN had edged out MSNBC in A25-54 viewers in primetime, which resulted in MSNBC swapping Ed Schultz and Lawrence O’Donnell‘s time slots in late October. The shake-up appears to have paid off for MSNBC: in November, “The Ed Show” topped CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360″ in total viewers (944,000 vs. 648,000) and the demographic (201,000 vs. 191,000). But despite the strong numbers,MSNBC is down -19% in Total Viewers and down -36% in the A25-54 demo compared to November 2010

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/category/msnbc

To recap and give perspective to this (horseshit) thread lets compare MSNBC to FNC year over year.

The ratings for November, 2011:

Primetime (Mon-Sun): 1.739M Total Viewers / 368K A25-54

Total Day (Mon-Sun): 1.048M Total Viewers / 259K A25-54

And while the network is by far the most watched in cable news, year-over-year FNC is down -13% in Total Viewers (MSNBC is down 19%) and down -16% in A25-54 viewers (MSNBC down 36%) for Total Day viewing. In Primetime the network is down -19% among Total Viewers But despite the strong numbers, MSNBC is down -19% in Total Viewers and down -36% in the A25-54 demo compared to November 2010.

Yeah, the architect of the 2006 disaster. Does he still call him that?

Maybe Fox ought to reevaluate having left wing idiots like Beckel, Juan Williams, Lamont Hill, and Alan Colmes on every night, instead of reasonable, articulate, and rational liberals (maybe an oxymoron) on to argue the democrat side.

Actually they almost TRIPLE MSNBC and CNN and I believe they DOUBLE the other 2 combined.

You forget Shep Smith..... gay, nutty far left progressive. He comes on, Fox goes off. It’s much easier to get news on the internet. Less time consuming and I can get the truth, not what anyone on any news channel decided to report with their slant. MSNBC is blocked.
