Actually Fox news is the most watched news in the country
they usually have higher ratings than CNN/NBC- MSNBC/ CBS combined

Last night on O'Reilly, you could tell he was pissed that McCain picked Larry King over his show in the same time slot.

They are the most watched cable news (also one of the most watch cable stations in general) but they do not beat the Network news numbers.

No they don't. Look them up. Even O'Reilly always says "cable news" when he talks about ratings. Cable station rating will never beat the networks just due to the fact not everyone has cable.

It makes no sense to me that he had the opportunity to expose his ideas/policitcs and he said 'no'... I just don't get it...But I guess it does not matter at this point.

His campaign was so mismanaged from the start. Poor guy.

He was pissed because it was a stupid campaign move to not take him up on the offer. Instead he picks Larry King, who's "balanced" panel during the VP debate was fully staffed with 3 Obama-supporting women.

After the country switches to 100% digital broadcasting, cable news and Fox's tentacles will undoubtedly grapple network TV's long hold over the average American.

Even if you don't like Fox News, they have more influential, more important guests as regulars than any other network. (probably combined)
