educate yourself BOY!!! U LOOK REAL STUPID Why does Fox News enjoy better ratings than CNN and MSNBC? quora.com Mauro Braunstein Answered Jan 25, 2019 · Author has 426 answers and 912.1k answer views That’s an interesting question, but I think the answer is pretty simple: Fox News is explicitly ideological. If you want news from the conservative side of the Culture War, where you can be pumped up about your team or whatever, Fox News will give you that. There is no liberal equivalent. CNN and MSNBC are generally non-partisan news, which conservatives today don’t like because their team is fighting the War on Facts. MSNBC has tried to position itself as the liberal answer to Fox News, but, well, liberals don’t really want to watch partisan news either; they just want regular news. And there are network news and local news too, which are a far more balanced look than CNN or MSNBC, since local news are more immediately important to basically everyone. And, more importantly, young people are overwhelmingly liberal and don’t watch TV, preferring internet sources for news and entertainment. If you want liberal news and analysis, there are blogs you should be frequenting instead of making a date at 9 PM to watch… whoever. Is that Maddow’s time slot? I don’t know. TV audiences in general are decreasing, but with Fox News’s older demographic, they still get a lot of viewers (for now). The basic fact is that there is no direct competition between Fox News and CNN or MSNBC. The people who watch Fox News would never watch regular news because it’s too real for them; they prefer Hannity over reality. On the other hand, people are watching less regular news in general because society is simply moving on from TV, not all at once, obviously, but we’re heading in that direction (for now). What is not true is that Fox News is somehow better than CNN/MSNBC because it has more viewers, or that conservative ideology is somehow more popular than normal everyday thought because its TV channel has a bigger audience. It’s easy to look at the numbers and come to the conclusion that Fox News is leaving everyone else in the dust and is therefore better. So easy, in fact, that conservatives love to tout this point. Only problem is, it’s not true (not like that ever stops them, of course). Fox News has more viewers because it has no meaningful conservative competition, while liberals and non-partisans split their attention among many news sources, including ones that are not TV-based. 4k views · View 41 Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below Who owns mainstream news stations like CNN, and Fox News? Has CNN ever defended Fox News? Why does Fox News treat Trump with respect but CNN and MSNBC won't? Who has the most revenue: CNN or Fox News? Why is CNN's popularity dropping while Fox News is gaining popularity? Terry Irving, worked at CNN Answered Jul 9, 2013 · Author has 112 answers and 267.6k answer views Because Fox News is not a news channel. It's a radio-style talk network aimed squarely at the most lucrative segment of the radio audience -- conservatives. Roger Ailes was running a talk channel called America's Talking at NBC when he found out that the deal was going to be Microsoft and NBC combining to create MSNBC (and that he was not going to run it). So he left for Fox where Rupert Murdoch--who has made millions on conservative newspapers--was beginning to create a news division. Ailes, who is demonstrably the most brilliant programmer in TV today, created Fox News and immediately b... (more)
