It gets confusing for us independents... is Liberal media dominating or not? I read about complaints from the far right that liberal media is dominating the TV, then I read Fox is kicking everyone's ass.. Not trying to start an argument, just wanting a definitive answer

There are so many things wrong with this I don't know where to begin. 

1.  You're not expressing confusion by independents.  You're asking an insincere question as a liberal. 

2.  There is nothing confusing about mainstream media liberal bias.  It is a fact. 

3.  Complaints about mainstream liberal media bias doesn't just come from "the far right," which you probably cannot even identify. 

4.  In head-to-head matchups, Fox News dominates every other news network.  But the combined total of every other mainstream news network outnumbers Fox News individually.  Not difficult to understand at all.

So you're saying Fox News dominates the ratings, has more viewers but "liberal" media is overwhelming..

"In head-to-head matchups, Fox News dominates every other news network."  That is a fact. 

"But the combined total of every other mainstream news network outnumbers Fox News individually."  Also a fact.

You tell me.  You're the one having trouble understanding how Fox News is dominating the competition, yet doesn't have the majority of total viewers given the numerous other liberal dominated networks.

Fox News wins cable news ratings race for 69th consecutive quarter
BY JOE CONCHA - 04/02/19
 
Fox News won the cable news ratings race for the 69th consecutive quarter over MSNBC and CNN, according to Nielsen Media Research numbers released Tuesday.

Overall for primetime, Fox News averaged 2.45 million total viewers, topping MSNBC's 1.91 million. CNN was third with an average of 1.06 million viewers.

In the key 25-54 year-old demographic that advertisers covet most, Fox News averaged 421,000 viewers. MSNBC was second with 333,000 and CNN third with 308,000.

The top-5 individual shows on cable news for the quarter in total viewers were led by Fox News' Sean Hannity, which averaged 3.165 million viewers per night. Fox News' Tucker Carlson was second with 3.087 million viewers and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow third with 3.067 million viewers.

Fox's "The Five" took fourth with 2.641 million viewers, and  "The Ingraham Angle" rounded out the Top-5 with 2.489 million viewers per night.

CNN's most-watched show was "Cuomo Prime Time," which airs at 9:00 p.m. EST. The program was 23rd overall in total viewers in averaging 1.28 million viewers per night. In the 25-54 demographic, the program fared better, finishing 8th in the cable news race with 367,000 viewers.

For the month of March, Fox News averaged 2.51 million viewers while MSNBC took in 1.84 million. CNN finished third with an average of 921,000.

In total viewers, Hannity was tops for the month with 3.12 million viewers. Maddow was second with 3.06 million and Carlson third with 2.98 million. "The Five" was fourth with 2.575 million and "The Ingraham Angle" fifth with 2.434 million in winning the 10:00 p.m. timeslot.

In the 25-54 demographic for March, Tucker Carlson topped Hannity and Maddow for the first time, finishing with 537,000 viewers in the category to Hannity's 533,000 and Maddow's 509,000.

Glad you found this thread and posted this.  It will be interesting to see what Maddow's viewership ends up being at the end of next quarter......assuming her show lasts that long. :-\

Nolte: Tucker Carlson Beat All of CNN’s Prime Time Shows … Combined
JOHN NOLTE3 Apr 2019

Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show earned more viewers last week than all of CNN’s primetime line up combined, reports the Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra.
This has to be a bitter pill for CNN. For years now the far-left network has done everything in its power to bring Carlson down. By any measure, CNN has conducted what can only be described as a straight up, deliberate demonization campaign.
 
CNN has also participated in the effort to have Carlson blacklisted by advertisers due to his right-of-center political beliefs. Since the fake news outlet cannot beat Carlson in the ratings, it is hoping to drive him off the air through McCarthyism.

Obviously this has backfired in a big way.

Throughout all of last week, CNN’s primetime lineup averaged a limp 2.474 million viewers, while all on his own, Carlson averaged 3.475 million viewers.

Here is the specific breakdown according to Nielsen:

Anderson Cooper: 810,000 viewers

Chris Cuomo: 875,000 viewers

Don Lemon: 789,000 viewers

This means that Carlson not only beat all three of these left-wing hacks combined, he beat them by a cool million total viewers.

Although the numbers aren’t yet available, my guess is that you could easily add Jake Tapper’s weekly average and/or Erin Burnett’s weekly average, and Carlson still comes out on top — or close enough for bragging rights.
 
Carlson usually humiliates CNN, as does MSNBC, but last week was a turning point for the anti-Trump network that went all in pushing the Russia Collusion Hoax.

For two years, CNN flooded its network with one fake news bombshell after another and a narrative that assured viewers the Mueller Report would be the end of Trump — that impeachment was right around the corner.

CNN was certain Mueller would come through with some ginned-up allegation against the president. And so, for two whole years, CNN baited its viewers with this nonsense, and when Mueller failed to come up with the goods, those viewers fled in droves. MSNBC is having the same problem, but nowhere near the bottoming out CNN faces.

And CNN’s ratings humiliations show no signs of going away.
 
On Monday, Carlson earned 3.053 million viewers, which again beat the three stooges named Cooper (791K), Lemon (882K), and Cuomo (973K) combined.

Erin Burnett attracted only 684K viewers. Wolf Blitzer earned just 688K and 617K viewers.

The numbers for Jake Tapper, the  far-left anchor who colluded with disgraced former FBI Director James Comey and disgraced former CIA chief John Brennan to launch the Russia hoax, could only snag 626K viewers.

Tapper was hired to anchor the 4 p.m. hour, to be the all-important lead-in that launched CNN’s entire night. The once-respected newsman has turned into a total failure and turn-off, a neurotic mix of fake news, virtue-signaling, and self-important sanctimony.

Overall on Monday, Fox averaged 2.82 million primetime viewers to CNN’s laughable 882K.

In total day, Fox averaged 1.783 million viewers to CNN’s pathetic 595K.

On the credibility front, CNN is over, a spent shell of hate and deception.

On the ratings front, CNN has been in real trouble for years, but with their Russia Collusion Hoax fully exposed, these numbers are now a full-blown catastrophe.

The only thing keeping CNN alive right now is a rigged system that forces 89 million Americans to pay for a cable channel they don’t watch.

I wouldn't say that.  I think they have a lot of viewers that are holdovers from their days when they were a legitimate news station.

That's impressive. If he is beating all three combined by that much then that shoots down a bit the "high viewership due to Fox being the only right leaning major network" narrative.

I've believed/promoted that myself so this is a very good thing that it hopefully means that the right side is gaining steam to even overcome all that.

Pretty sure I've seen stats that show that Fox is the most middle of the road news station, which makes sense since most people aren't far right or left.

Believe I have seen those too if you are referring to the Trump press coverage analysis/study. I think it was a study done by Harvard or Yale where they were 50/50 pretty much and the others were about 90/10 against.

If you are talking about their hard news, then yes I agree.  People often confuse hard news with opinion shows.  There is a very clear distinction between the two on Fox.  CNN and MSNBC have no distinction.  It's all opinion and an extension of the Democrat party.

CNN Drops 26% In Prime Time As Fox News Dominates April Cable Ratings
Mark Joyella
Contributor
Apr 30, 2019

(Michael A. Schwarz/Bloomberg) © 2014 BLOOMBERG FINANCE LP

CNN's prime time hosts can only hope it will be better in the new building.

As CNN prepares to move its prime time studios and operations to a glitzy new building at New York City's brand new--and widely reviled--Hudson Yards development, the network saw its prime time lineup drop 26% in April compared to the same month one year ago. CNN's total audience in prime time was well under a million viewers--767,000--while competitors MSNBC and Fox News finished the month far ahead: MSNBC in second place overall with 1.660 million total viewers, and Fox News leading all of cable with a total audience of 2.395 million.

April ranks as CNN's lowest-rated month among total viewers in nearly four years, since October 2015. CNN's Cuomo Primetime, which has been the network's highest-rated hour, drew a total audience of 917,000 viewers in April, the show's worst-ever performance.

Among viewers 25-54, the demographic most coveted by national advertisers, the falloff for CNN was even more stark: down 41 percent. CNN drew 198,000 viewers in the demo, behind MSNBC (255,000) and Fox News (389,000). All three networks saw year-over-year declines in April, with MSNBC down 36% and FNC down 19%.

Among prime time cable news shows, Fox News' Hannity led with a total audience of 3.086 million, followed by FNC's Tucker Carlson Tonight (2.834 million) and MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show (2.630 million). None of CNN's prime time hours finished among the top five shows overall. CNN's top-rated hour, Cuomo Primetime, finished in 26th place.

For Fox, the ratings data released Tuesday by Nielsen put the network into a staggering unbeaten streak as the most-watched cable news network in prime time and total day, at 208 consecutive months.

MSNBC, which has established itself solidly as the second-place rival to Fox News, has now beaten CNN for 27 straight months in prime, and for the first time tying CNN among viewers 25-54 for the total day, the first time MSNBC has posted a #2 finish since June 2014.

MSNBC’S RACHEL MADDOW’S RATINGS PLUMMET TO YEARLY LOW
05/21/2019 | MEDIA
Mike Brest | Reporter

MSNBC primetime host Rachel Maddow brought in her worst weekly ratings of the year last week.

Her show last week averaged 2,324,000 viewers, with an average audience of 337,000 in the 25-54 age demographic, both of which mark yearly lows for the liberal television host, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Maddow first saw a dramatic drop in ratings following the conclusion of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. Her previous low for a week in 2019 was the last week in March, the first full week after Mueller submitted his conclusion to Attorney General William Barr, where she averaged 2,458,000 viewers with 392,000 in the demo.

She spent two years dissecting every aspect of the special counsel’s investigation into whether President Donald Trump conspired with the Russians to win the 2016 presidential election. The night Mueller submitted his findings to Barr, Maddow appeared to hold back tears over the fact that neither the president nor any family members were indicted.

Compared to Maddow’s low ratings last week, Fox News’ Sean Hannity, whose program is often the most-watched among all cable news shows, averaged 3,108,000 viewers with just under half-a-million viewers in the key demographic.

She also nearly tripled CNN’s Chris Cuomo’s weekly ratings. His program only had 880,000 viewers with 225,000 in the key demo.
