Here&#8217;s a little something to make the mindless Fox haters cry:
FNC has been the most-watched cable news channel for 83 consecutive months in both Total Day and prime time.
FNC was #3 in prime time and #4 in total day in all of basic cable. Fox News also retained the most viewership, post-election (Nov 4 vs. [...]]]></description>

<p>Here&#8217;s a little something to make the mindless <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/november_ratings_83_months_on_top_for_fnc_102020.asp?c=rss" target="_blank">Fox haters cry</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>FNC has been the most-watched cable news channel for 83 consecutive months in both Total Day and prime time.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>FNC was #3 in prime time and #4 in total day in all of basic cable. <strong>Fox News also retained the most viewership, post-election (Nov 4 vs. Nov. 5 &#8211; 30.) </strong>In Total day, FNC held 33% of its viewers, compared with 24% for MSNBC and 18% for CNN. In prime time, FNC retained 23% of viewers, MSNBC retained 19% and CNN held on to 10% of its Election Day audience.</em></p>
<p>Fox has also kept more of its viewers than the other networks &#8212; post election. Fox News is the best news channel on television. They have the best programming, the best talent, and the best coverage. All the crap about Fox being a &#8220;right wing network&#8221; is total BS.</p>
<p>The Pew Research Center&#8217;s Project For Excellence in Journalism <a href="http://www.journalism.org/node/13436#fn1" target="_blank">released a study</a> in October that clearly showed Fox News to be the most fair and balanced network &#8212; while MSNBC was the least.</p>

<p>A new Pew poll completely smashes the narrative that far-left cretins have been pushing about Fox News. You constantly hear from the left that Fox News is a &#8220;right-wing propaganda outfit&#8221; and that only Republicans watch it. Clear thinking Americans have always known that to be nonsense, and a brand new <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/awp244917045.html" target="_blank">Pew survey</a> proves it.</p>
<p>Their annual survey of cable news audiences now shows:</p>
<ul>
<li>FNC: 39% Republican, 33% Democratic, 22% Independent</li>
<li>CNN: 18% Republican, 51% Democratic, 23% Independent</li>
<li>MSNBC: 18% Republican, 45% Democratic, 27% Independent</li>
</ul>
<p>So when Fox News claims to be &#8220;Fair and Balanced&#8221; that apparently also extends to their audience. Does this mean that since it&#8217;s mostly Democrats who watch CNN and MSNBC that those channels are &#8220;left-wing propaganda outfits?&#8221;</p>
