Fewer people turning to evening News.

....or reading the Times as well.

[playball0]

Fewer people are turning to discredited sources.

FoxFan ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

No mention that all liberal outlets lose viewers.

Revolt against liberal political bias in the news can explain every one of their statistics, but they couldn't report that. It wouldn't be liberal of them.

[bedolido]

my guess is that more newspapers will go out of business (i.e.: hard-copies and start more internet news orgs).

Has the nation's television audience burned out on serious news?

I might watch if television reported the news.

Until then, there is FReeRepublic!

HELP! I'M LAUGHING TO DEATH

Either way, Murphy said he did not expect the ratings funk to continue for long. "People come to watch the news when they need the news," he said. "And they will need it again."

People NEED steam looms! They'll be back!

Or:

(whine) Nobody is LISTENING to us!!

"the average daily audience at Fox News grew to 753,000, compared with 612,000 during last summer's two-month period"

Hmmmmmm.....Why is this the only growth statistic? Inquiring reporters ought to know....

"People come to watch the news when they need the news," he said. "And they will need it again."

hehe -- sounds like something a smack dealer might say

[sarasota]

I'd venture to say that we're getting our news bytes online during the day. The "evening news" rarely tells me anything I haven't already read here.

[eyespysomething]

I get all the news I need from the internet.

At evening news time, we are eating dinner, baths, playtime, reading, homework, etc.

The "news" that they are referring to is unnecessary, IMO. (at least to me). I can watch Brit Hume rerun at midnight, and with at least 3 24 hour news channels, there is no need to bust a hump to watch network news at 6, 6:30 or 7. I can watch it anytime on FoxNews, MSNBC, or the other one (which I don't watch - CNN).

[bedolido]

I get all my to date news from FR. I then see it on Fox. lol... FR Rules!

[dead]

The daily average audience for:

• MSNBC: 197,000 down from 254,000
• Fox News: 753,000 up from 612,000

Ouch. Bring back Donohue.

[Semper Paratus]

Considering all the health and medical content, their audience are all in nursing homes.

Has the nation's television audience burned out on serious news?

No. They just got fed up with commie propaganda masquerading as news.

[jalisco555]

American soldiers are dying in Iraq almost daily; questions continue to swirl around the Bush administration's case for the invasion there in March;

One need only look at how institutions like the Times frame the question to see why they are losing influence.

[mombonn]

Such idiots. They know the real reason, and hate it.

LIBERAL MEDIA IS A DINOSAUR WAITING TO BE BURIED.
