FNC was October's top basic cable network in primetime among Total Viewers (3,459,000). This is the first time that the channel was number one for an entire month since September 2005 when Hurricane Katrina dominated the news cycle FNC was the number two cable channel in Total Day behind Nickelodeon.

Of course Fox with their unconfirmed sources and I heard it from somebody who knows somebody who heard from someone that is in the loop claims will still be believed by the Fox junkies no matter what they say.

I truly think CNN is the best news network. They ask tough questions to both parties, and do fact checking live (anderson cooper).
Although they have been giving Ron Paul less coverage than Fox.

Can we now put this Myth to rest? Fox is far from balanced or fair in fact it is the worst offender of these practices. It has been pointed out many times but for some they need a graph which is provided here.
Some of us already know FOX may as well be called Republican Campaign Headquarters but some people are still fooled because Fox says otherwise.
For the second day in a row, Fox News devoted extensive coverage to a campaign speech by Mitt Romney, far overshadowing the coverage the network gave President Obama's campaign speech. In fact, Fox News carried Romney's entire 26-minute speech live, while it cut Obama's remarks off after just three minutes.

For me I do not really care that they endorse one candidate over another but them perpetrating the lie that they are unbiased in this is what ticks me off at least the other stations are not trying to claim moral high ground. What is worse is that people believe the Fox lie.

Hi Rez, I don't believe we have met. Welcome to ATS.
What you are failing to understand is that the ratings do not reflect the value of their content. Yes, Fox beats out the other news channels...but it doesn't beat SpongeBob, or even the re-runs of Golden Girls!
So the rating are meaningless. But can you comment on the quality of their content or are they just doing well because they hire the chicks that got too old to become a Lakers Girl?

Now THAT is scary!
It kind of annoys me that I even know who Honey Boo-Boo is, much less Snooky and the rest of Jersey idiots.
I've never watched any of those shows, but their names keep popping up as supposed news.

Whenever Fox gets caught lying, and it Happens often, they claim they are NOT A NEWS OUTLET, but an Entertainment Network.
Only Morons actually think they Present Real News.
