30 Reasons Fox News Is Not Legit »
Posted By Tumultuous 1 month ago in Political OpinionWhy the Beltway press has invested so much time and energy in recent weeks defending Fox News, with one scribe even claiming that the White House's public critique of the network was "dangerous to press freedom," and why the press refuses to acknowledge what's so obvious about the cable channel's political pursuits, remains baffling.

Now, the Atlanta-based network's signature show, as well as the rest of its prime-time lineup, has fallen. Not just behind Fox News, but behind MSNBC and sister network Headline News.
For October, CNN averaged 202,000 viewers between the ages of 25 and 54, according to Nielsen Media numbers. Bitter rival Fox News continued to dominate the prime-time category, capturing an average 689,000 viewers, the figures showed. -
