Steve- The numbers make sense... if there were another unabashedly conservative media outlet like Fox, then Fox's ratings would drop. If CNN were the only mainstream media outlet, then its ratings would probably be quite a bit higher. -Z

The Scoreboard: Thursday, Sept. 29 Total viewers: Total day: FNC: 1,063,000 / CNN: 600,000 / MSNBC: 253,000 / HLN: 196,000 / CNBC: 151,000 Primetime: FNC: 2,083,000 / CNN: 1,054,000 / MSNBC: 399,000 / HLN: 373,000 / CNBC: 160,000 8pm: O'Reilly: 2,895,000 / Zahn: 945,000 / Countdown: 378,000 / Grace: 503,000 / CNBC: 169,000 Oops! Looks like things are moving down for FNC. Two years, ago, FNC had 1.14 million viewers during the day and 2.7 million during primetime. In 2005, those figures have slid to 1.06 million during the day, and to 2.08 million in the all important primetime. That's nearly 700K viewers lost during Primetime. And you're proud??? And of course, the other outlets have all seen increases including CNN. No surprise there. But then, look at O'Reilly. Two years ago, he was at 3.3 million viewers; now, he's down to 2.9 million. Wow! Not good! So...........my question to you is.......why are you celebrating the slow demise of FNC?
