LIAR. Fox News is #2 in viewership. Look it up. The misleading claims that Fox is #1 is based on rightwing viewer loyalty or "cumes". That is, Fox News is ALL many of them watch and leave the TV on all day sucking up the misleading propaganda, unfair smears against democrats, one-sided analyses and ridiculous rightwing mythology stoking. "Cumes" are what this is called.

But in terms of actual numbers of viewers, Fox has slipped to #2 behind CNN. CNN has more viewers. That's a fact. MSNBC has also made huge gains in the past two years and now regularly beats Fox News amongst the key younger audience, and by younger I mean all the way up to 50 years old. Oldermann for instance beats O'Reilly now with under 50 year old viewers.

Fox News remains #1 in one category only, numbers of viewers over 65. Plus remember, CNN has to share their market share with CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS and MSNBC. Fox News is the only rightwing network and those rightwing viewers who DON'T want truth and balanced coverage stick to Fox News like the plague. They love their red meat rightwing propaganda and Fox News continues to deliver.
