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

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!

The demo (which fox is winning) only matters to advertisers. The average person doesn't care about the demo... Your point was an attempt to trick people into thinking CNN is closer than it is.

This is a very interesting post about why focusing on the demo may be misplaced when you’re talking about cable news. There’s a big difference in voting patterns: http://dailyhowler.blogspot.com/2017/06/new-york-times-reports-cable-news.html …pic.twitter.com/VJFDfQF4BD

Try not being fake news that ignores all democrat scandals, pushes all Republican scandals, then maybe people would trust you. .... Well too late, IMO CNN flushed their credibility down the toilet when they tried to make Obama's IRS scandal into a nothingburger.
