I think it is more that the other channels campaigned for Obama 24/7 and we now are encouraged that they realize how they have been had and are turning to another channel. So an increase in Fox viewers means less popularity for Obama. Yea!
Nice try, but no: "33% of Fox viewers are listed as Democrats . . . Nearly four-in-ten regular Fox News viewers are Republicans (39%)"

That chart begs the question: How can you be a democrat and mainly watch FOX? On that same note, how can you be a Republican and mainly watch MSNBC? I can see how moderates of either side could watch CNN.
*L* Unbelievable. Can you provide support for what must be your unsubstantiated assumption that the Democrats and other non-Republicans who are watching Fox News are also voting against their parties and instead voting for Republicans? I, and other liberals I know, watched Fox News before the election. How did that turn out for you?
Have you watched Glenn Beck's show? You can't make such a show up--pure propaganda and entertainment passing itself off as actual reasonable and logical news commentary. It's pure spectacle. I feel dirty afterwards, but I still tune in sometimes.
Intelligent people gather their information from a wide variety of sources; t.v., radio, pbs, newspapers, news magazines, local informational forums, conversations with law makers, etc. etc. This results in spreading the "ratings" across a wider spectrum. Fox "news" viewers get their "news" only from Fox "news." This results in concentrating the "ratings" all in one direction. Really quite simple.

Argumentum ad populum. A well known and popular (*wink*) fallacy.
