a few thoughts on this: quantity is not the same as quality; i regularly point out fox's ratings strength; they've cornered a very specific market; however, the cable news race is all about the 25-54 demo, and in the demo, the race is much closer than you suggested

Really, anecdotal rating for one day, a Friday which tend to be nonstandard to begin with, and a night where Fox’s biggest ratings grabber wasn’t on? You think that says more than the entire month of February? Sounds suspiciously like
#FakeNews but I’m too polite to say so. -
I'm not here to debate you. The point -- which I've made repeatedly -- is that the demo race is what matters. And it's closer than some people claim. A program ranker is not the best way to understand 24/7 cable news trends.
-
Perhaps not, but it’s better than selecting the one night Hannity (#1 show on cable) takes off and then using that to claim it represents how ‘close’ CNN is to FNC. As a guy who worked for both CNN and FNC was fond of saying: I was born at night, but not last night.
-
I don't know if Hannity was on or off Friday. What I know is that people who fixate on total viewers miss the business story. Like I said: Fox is a skyscraper. Every media reporter knows that. This Twitter chat doesn't really have a point!
-
Like most every other twitter chat.
-
LOL. I think we agree that both the demo and total viewers matters. The biz and thus the corporate battle is all about the demo. My view is that the demo race is closer than you seem to think. The end!

Less than 0.1% of Americans. What a total waste of effort 24/7 "news" is.

You mean when the real people are working then going out without time to watch TV. Way to twist it. Hey I have a idea. Tell the truth and let people decide. Stop putting democrat twist on everything. If it what the people want they will decide that!
