The Good News and the BAD News For Fox News

Fox News' numbers have decreased due to it's move to the far right. You cannot narrow your political ideology and not feel an impact. When FNC was skyrocketing they had shows like Hannity and Colmes while not having an hour long show dedicated to lunatic Glenn Beck. FNC has got itself married to the GOP, every potential GOP Presidential candidate is on the FNC payroll, and the FNC treats every world view point that isn't exactly like their world view point as if it is going to destroy America.

..Hi annie, I would like to see them evaporate. But free speech is what it is. You also want to know what crap they are saying. I guess the next one going there would be Christine "the I'm not a witch" person. She would fit right in with the other nut cases living in denial. The Faux news channel is absolutely what they are, plain and simple. Take it easy. Thanks for the information.

Wonder where he got his facts from? But it does seem a little obsolete since ratings change all the time. Still looking at the more recent link provide, Fox is still way up in the ratings.

My thoughts are....I don't watch any of that garbage! I read as much as I can from sources that do not care about who is going to benefit politically by the story. Hence, I do not read American News Sources or British Sources,they are worse.

What's amazing to me is that cable TV news channel ratings are of such interest. It has become as much of a political issue to some people as politics itself. Liberals think FNC is biased toward the right and conservatives think MSNBC is biased toward the left. Is this news? Who cares what their ratings are? If Fox was losing viewers back in October when the article was written, it certainly didn't translate to voters moving to the left. We all know how the mid-term elections turned out. By the way, just for grins, if anybody really is that interested, I checked the latest numbers and Fox is killin' it. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2010/12/29/cable-news-ratings-for-tuesday-december-28-2010/76813

fox is a mouthpiece for the right wing in America....its not about giving a balanced viewpoint , its more about stoking peoples fears and prejudices....its certainly explains why Americans are some of the least informed people in the world , fox definitely ain't improving matters

That report is a little old isn't it. The date on it is Oct 21 2010.

The only really good news would be for all tv news to suffer tragic reductions in ratings.

I'm not surprised. fox news is really just a cable version of a tabloid magazine. Of course some of their local news is accurate and of interest to those locally and then there is the weather but beyond that, it's pretty much personal opinion and entertainment. I rarely watch it and if I do catch some of it is because the tv just happened to be on that station from a previous show. I probably have caught bits of it less than a handful of times over the past 5 yrs.

Maybe people are finally wising up to their methods of dis- and mis-information. There's hope for us yet if people are learning to think for themselves instead of blindly following their so-called political prophets.

Well if Fox wants viewers they can start reporting more accurately. I don't think they ever know what they are talking about. MSNBC is simply better, so of course, people would rather watch it. lol I am thinking that some credit to this decline of viewers can go to the Faux News campaign.

That's funny, considering Fox is hiring most of CNN and MSNBC's reporters and anchors. Where are you getting your mis-oops, information from? Only losers watch MSNBC, as far as I know.

Any thoughts.... um... yeah couldn't care less. I'm a conservative constitutionalists because I am not stupid enough to buy the left wing liberal idiocy. That will never change regardless of what Fox News does, a channel I don't get because I find cable a worthless waste of money.

Maybe their viewership is declining because what they present is more like entertainment than news. "Anchormen" crying on TV (yes I mean Glen Beck). Name-calling, character assassination, slanted programming every time. It's unfair, and unbalanced.Whatever it is, it aint news. Unfortunately, MSNBC might be improving their ratings by turning to entertainment themselves. Both channels are becoming much more like HLN, "news and views," meaning celebrities and slime, all the time. the way to discourage these trends is to refuse to watch these channels!

I guess I am one who likes FOX News I would hardly call them a mouth piece for the GOP as I hear them criitze the Republicans actions almost as much as they critize the Democrats for their actions.

I would be interested to know if the decline is somewhat due to it not being a political season. Many people tend to drop out of the news when there is not an election coming up. This is sad because they are paying attention when politicians are telling us what they are going to do, but not paying attention to see what they are actually doing.
