As the stock market plunged Monday, ratings for the cable news networks jumped up. Fox News Channel led the rally with 1.3 million viewers in total day, 29% higher than its July averages. CNN drew 538,000 viewers, up 21%, and MSNBC (455,000) was up 2%. On Monday night, Anderson Cooper made his debut at 8 p.m., which was on par with his numbers from last July, while Fox News’ Glenn Beck replacement, The Five, hit a series high in total viewers (1.8 million).

Wait a minute! This can’t be right. Why would people flock to Fox News? Could it be that people are fed up with the failing liberal agenda? Could it be that most people buy into the conservative philosophy and now realize they were hoodwinked by the Hope and Change crap. Or is it so plainly obvious that every liberal Media station that has to stand on it’s own without public money or George Soros money, is a failing endeavor. No matter what left wing nut or liberal playing like a moderate they put on, they can’t come close to the ratings of fox news. So encouraging.
I believe most of the “folks” that wartch Fox are retired and leaning right. Therefore they have time to follow the people they like. Personally I believe that no one has the answers to the nation’s problems but can only complain about them.
I think that’s what you’d like to believe Ernie. The truth is. Voters of all ages watch Fox News. That is a great thing.
Rocky, you must make a lot of money, the working class and poor are suffering and Fox news is promoting tax breaks for the rich, not for you or are you rich? That would be OK. Fox also promotes health insurance, keep the government out of my health care. Well if you have health care you are not from the USA, we have a for profit health insurance system that costs 4,000 lives every month due to the lack of health care. Fox created the tea party, they must be pretty rich, they won’t tax people over one hundred thousand dollars annual income but want to get rid of tax breaks for working class and the poor. Rocky you should be proud of killing all those sick people for money and sticking it to the poor, what a guy! Fox news lies where are the jobs? Jobs? Jobs? Remember the shellacking republicans? Well where are they?
Every news outlet lost credibilty (except fox) when they masked obama’s political ties to liberal nut jobs and his agenda. Long live the free markets!!! Or else we’d get our news from msnbc.
Our cable system has never even bothered to carry MSNBS. Somehow I don’t think AlTawana Sharpton will change that.
Neil Cavuto is the one to watch for business news and analysis.
A great thing? Or else you would have to get your news from MSNBC? Far right fox is fighting socialized medicine? We see just as many people die each month due to the lack of health care as died at 911, or Americans that died in Iraq, each month! Each and every month four thousand Americans die from the lack of health care. Where are the organized religions? The greed has to stop and Fox news promotes death to Americans for money! The Roberts court and Roves gave our elections away to the corporation that wants to spend the most money, sold America. A great thing? Fox created the tea party, cut education when education is the only hope we have. Fox news lies, where are the jobs republicans? Remember? Jobs? Jobs? Jobs? Well where are they?
