Personally, I think this happened in large part of FOX News's downward spiral into the world of tabloid TV.
In addition, FOX News has an extremely irritating tendency to continue to air their prime time talking blocks rather than run coverage of an interesting event. More recently, the Opportunity landing. CNN carried. FOX did not.

not surprised, lately Fox has been just screaming tabloid, not very thoughtful and irritating with all those flashes. I have been watching IMus in the morning rather than Fox and flipping back and forth to CNBC, the wall street bunch. I even watch CNN occasionally. Fox is disappointing,,better get their act together.

I switched to CNN that night for no other reason than their graphics for the results were easier to read and they changed them quicker. I was watching something else and wanted to just click over to see what was going on. FOX made me wait, CNN didn't.

Judging from the volume of articles reposted here from CNN's site, I have to wonder if a lot of FReepers are contributing to the leftists' resurgence.

Personally, I think this happened in large part of FOX News's downward spiral into the world of tabloid TV.NO NO NO. It was a democratic primary which most FOX viewers care nil about. Result: Fox viewers tuned off and democratic CNN viewers tuned in. SIMPLE!

For a few brief quarter-hours,LOL!! Drudge is pulling your leg!
Neilsen doesn't measure "quarter-hours."
Drudge hates FOXNEWS so much for firing his ass, he's now making stuff up!

Maybe it's as simple as the people interested in the DemocRat hopefuls want to find out how they did while NOT watching a right leaning News Station. I mean personally I love Fox News and refuse to watch the Clinton News network, because they're to Commie for me. But on the same token, Fox is a Conservative station.

FOX NEWS seems to have a new love affair with John Edwards. We have noticed bias in coverage that seems to favor him. Has anyone else noticed it ?
To: Crazieman
FOX has sunk to a sorry state. CNN Headline News and CNBC give longer interviews on topics than does FOX.
The FOX 'heads seem more interested in getting each segment over with--"QUICKLY"--so they can 'tease' the next segment and go to commercial break.

I switched over to MSNBC early in the evening, before 7 central, when FNC ran that "See Alice" commercial, ya know, the one with the "If...lasting longer than 4 hours...see a doctor".
Getting real tired of FNC's cheese and sleeze side. Every time I turned them on Monday they were running a near continuous loop of a slightly pixelated Janet Jackson flash.
Fair and Balanced is great, but why do they cheapen it with such garbage? What's next, accepting advertisements from local strip clubs?
BTW, CNN is still the socialist network...

Aside from Bret Hume and Neil Cavuto, who are wonderful, maybe the best there is, I never understood why Fox was rated so highly during prime-time. Greta and O'Reilley are unwatchable, tabloid, Kobi/Laci/Jacko nonsense.
Fox needs to restructure its prime time to cover more news, less blowhard sleeze.

I've become rather tired of FNC lately. They seem to have a half-dozen or so topics they harp on endlessly.
1.) Iraq/WMD
2.) The Leftist Primary
3.) Kobe Bryant
4.) Martha Stewart
5.) Scott Peterson
Whenever I tune in to FNC, I always see the same tired topics, covered ad infinitum and ad nauseum.
I guess they've never heard about "flogging a dead horse."

You took the words right out of my mouth. They need to relegate Geraldo and Rita Cosby to the janitorial department, and return to the good news coverage they once had. And oh--put Tony Snow back on Fox News Sunday. This Wallace guy isn't up to snuff.

I tried to get decent election coverage, but FOX was not delivering. I tried REALLY hard to watch Greta's show, but I could not bear it. So I turned on CNN, and it had pretty good coverage of the results. I felt sick to my stomach, and my wife watched me in amazement, but I continued to turn in to CNN to see the results coming in. I'm afraid that if FOX doesn't do anything different, I probably will be watching further primary results (at least while they are competitive or meaningful) at CNN or possibly MSNBC (no major networks for me though).

Is it possible that a whole bunch of regular Fox viewers tuned into Dennis Miller on CNBC?..I mean..it's a "Colmes-free" hour..

We're watching FoxNews less and less now although we haven't switched to CNN. I really don't care about Kobe Bryant (in fact, I'd never heard about him until all the media frenzy started), Scott Peterson, and yada yada yada. I find myself watching the History Channel more and more often.

Sad to say, I occasionally watch FOX too...:( I used to have FOX NEWS on the majority of the day. It's tiresome to see them repeat the same thing OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I have found GREAT peace in tuning out! I think they need a wake up call from us to let them know they are driving scores of faithful viewers away! Let's EMAIL them NOW before it's too late!
To: Crazieman
Not only does Fox News airs too much tabloid news, they get poor grades with breaking news to boot.
