Fox News ratings falling off?
2005-05-20
The folks over at DU have worked themselves up into a lather about the recents rating that show FNC viewership falling off over the past six months. I was looking over the data and best I can tell (I may be wrong) every cable news network has fallen. So it's not a case of a viewer leaving FNC and tuning to CNN or MSBNBC (are they still on?). But the Kool Aid crowd are toasting to the death of FNC. I goggled and yahooed and found this report that actually had numbers on it. Cearly all cable news networks fell but FNC fell the least and other data on that site colaborates that. Another search revealed another page on TVNewser that contradicts the ealier claim that was used on the DU post. I wanted to show them but they seemed so happy and smug I just couldn't.
I'd guess that all the news channels would have fallen proportionately after the election. We went from Bush versus Kerry, weighty matters of war and peace and the future of our grandchildren, to Scott Peterson, Michael Jackson, and similar silliness interspersed with dead children in Florida. How much of any of that can you watch?
