Last quarter, about 308 million of us didn't watch Fox. Nearly Four Times More People Signed Up For Obamacare Than Watch Fox News Fox News and their viewers like to pound their chests and tout their success, but Fox can’t hold a candle to Obamacare. Nearly four times as many people have signed up for Obamacare than watch Fox News. Fox News had a record setting third quarter in 2014. The conservative news network was the most watched channel on all of cable. 1.77 million people watched Fox News’ primetime lineup. 1.045 million people watched Fox News during the day. Fox News grew 10% in total viewers over the same period in 2013. Cable news viewership overall continued to plunge as Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC combined attracted under 3 million primetime viewers. Conservatives love to tout the success of Fox News as proof that America is a right-wing nation, but Fox can’t hold a candle to the success of the Affordable Care Act. 7.3 million people have enrolled in the ACA. All total the law is estimated to be providing 26 million Americans with access to affordable healthcare. politicususa.com

Yep - Me and quite a majority prefer fox to MSNBC. They get viewership more than msnbc, cnn together. MSNBC is just an arm of Obama and mostly drivel. Most people can see this thus the extremely low viewership. The only thing worth watching on MSNBC is the morning joe show which has some balance to it.

As I always say, there have always been a lot more ignorant people than educated people so FOX having a larger audience is not surprising.

MSNBC is where the intellectuals are. Compare their academic credentials to FOX's.

The ancient Greeks were the first large group of intellectuals and they gave us ethics and democracy.

Our founding fathers were the intellectuals of the day, and they gave us the world first great democracy.

The intellectuals is where all of us go to gain wisdom. That is why they are taught in every major university in the world.

The folks at MSNBC have studied the intellectuals. The folks at FOX barely know who they are.

Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, James Joyce, Bertrand Russell, Einstein, Kant, Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche, Goethe, Shakespear, Buddha, Steven Pinker, Noam Chomsky, Saul Alinsky, Mark Twain, Sartre, Camus, Whitehead, Max Weber, Will Durant, Huxley, Keynes, Voltaire, Will Rogers, Issac Asimov, Robert Sawyer, Waler Isaacson, etc.

These are our species greatest thinkers. They are the ones who designed our civilization and they are the ones we go to for wisdom.

The folks at FOX find them irrelevant and most don't even know who they are and the folks at MSNBC find them indispensable and have studied them all their lives!!!!!!

There is no way one can become intelligent and wise without going to the intellectuals for information. It is not possible!!
