Fox News Channel maintained its grip on the cable-news network ratings prize in 2013, drawing more viewers than the combined averages of CNN, MSNBC and HLN.

It was a down year in terms of overall audience, as every newsie but HLN showed declines from their Presidential Election-driven tallies of 2012.

Fox has it's issues, but they own liberal minds something fierce.

Hell, I think MSNBC spends more time crying about Fox than actually working on the news, lol.

I always thought fox was #1 because so many more viewers preferred conservative news.

Now I'm realizing they are the only conservative outlet, and the liberal viewers split their watching between these 3 networks.  Kinda disappointing!  

If there was no CNN or HLN... and there were 2 other conseravtive outlets to siphon fox viewers... then yes, MSNBC would be bragging they were #1.  Wouldn't make them any more credible or good... it just shows there's nobody else in their category.

When people say "Nobody watches liberal news networks!"  They are incorrect.  Looks like it's pretty evenly matched in terms of total viewers.  MSNBC, CNN and HLN share the liberal base.  FOX is the only repub/conservative outlet.


I"m just surprised another company hasn't started a BETTER conservative news.  None of us will ever claim FOX news is all that brilliant - they're just the only conservative news game in town.  I'd LOVE to see a class, credible TV media organization like AMC put out a conservative news network.  FOX would plummet.
