Ten years? That's a very optimistic estimate.

I'm sure you do - but that doesn't mean that's WHAT IT IS.

1 million FOX News viewers watching for 8 hours gives a much higher rating than 2 groups of 500,000 viewers watching CNN for 4 hours each.
In both of those cases, the total numbers of viewers are the same, but the 1st scenario gives double the rating.

The article that was linked was based on viewers per program Kennie, stop trying to act like you know anything about how TV ratings are calculated. You've already proven your ignorance without question.

In virtually every time slot Fox News is crushing CNN and MSNBC combined, it's not even a fair fight.

WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID.


FOX News viewers watch program after program - keeping the networks rating high the FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. Some will come and go, but many simply watch it for longgggggg periods of time.
CNN viewers watch for shorter periods of time and their numbers are split up across different shows.
Clearly reading comprehension - like logic - is not your forte.
No surprise there since you bragged so much about the DOW breaking 25,000 - 9 months ago. Where is the DOW now? Pretty much at the same level. NINE MONTHS and virtually ZERO gain. Pathetic performance compared to Obama at this point in his Presidency.

Yeah, those Rightwingers LOVE their INDOCTRINATION. Can't seem to get enough it it.
The problem is, the more you watch, the more ignorant you become:

You guys have thousands of colleges with ultra liberal professors around the US.

We have just one mainstream cable channel.

I'd say your team should be further ahead than it is.

Nearly all the FOX News fans I know watch it religiously nearly all day every day. In many of those cases, it's ONLY thing they watch.

The higher FOX News ratings doesn't mean it has MORE viewers, it just means those viewers watch the network for longer periods of time.
No surprise there. Rightwingers LOVE indoctrination.

You are special.
