The numbers are meaningless without the demographic. The Fox numbers don't count for advertising sales because the viewers are like me, very, very old.
More people watch Sponge Bob Square Pants than all these cable news programs combined.
Just my 2 cents.

Gramps, I think you need to tell us your definition of propaganda before we continue too much further. I don't think you really know that definition.

It bothers me when somebody who doesn't really know what propaganda is talks about it and anything.

Well, you know that old quote from a certain evil someone.
