MSNBC beat Fox 2 days in a row in the 24-54 category on the days of the 47 video debacle. It’s just 2 days. I don’t know if it’s a trend set in cement.

Still, can't say I've been watching much of Fox myself lately, and seriously thinking about dumping cable TV altogether because most of it is shyte.
Between the cackling cupcakes, Bill O fawning over himself, Hannity's parroting talking points, Gretta Van Mumble, not to mention a host of horses-behinds like Shep and Jerald-o, etc., etc.....
For a long time it was nice to finally have a media outlet which(sort of)shared my views. Lately though, in their quest for "fair and balanced" garbage, not to mention the constant GOP-e party-line push...it's become stale.
The left controls the vast majority of media outlets...no reason for FOX to be anything but a strictly conservatives POV outlet in order to counter-attack the leftist/propagandist media monopoly. Being number one(FoxNews)for many years, they should be able to afford great investigative/other reporters, top-notch breaking coverage and the like... instead all that money must being going to O'Reilly's salary.
The only thing really worth watching anymore on FOX is RedEye...and that's(intentionally)for comedy.
As to BSNBC's recent success, it is just a testament to the ever growing weakness/stupidity of America, and a place for bottom-feeders to call...home.
