We plan to give the cable news ratings each weekend. This week's report puts Fox in a statistical tie with CNN, MSNBC, HLN conbined !!

We estimate that a full 70% of those watching MSNBC, CNN and HLN are the same liberal viewers. Understand that every poll taken over the course of the past 40 years finds a "conservative/liberal" bias, apart from party identification, scoring plus-or-minus 17% for liberals and plus-or-minus 38% for conservatives. You have heard it said that we are a "right leaning" nation? This is why. The poll is a Gallup invention and is the most consistent polling result of all time - except for one that might ask, "Do you love your country."

This cable report [below] is, in part, an extension of the Gallup polling reality. Understand that Fox is well produced, has a host of good looking news casters, male and female and owns the most popular news hour in cable history, Bill O'Reilly

Primetime		P2+ (000s)	25-54 (000s)	35-64 (000s)
FNC		2,267	570	1,030
CNN		1,014	313	468
MSNBC		750	228	386
CNBC		233	94	122
FBN		78	17	32
HLN		505	154	231

Also, know that the above is an average for each of the four hours in prime time. O'Reilly, on his own, commands well over 3 million viewers in his first recorded hour of the evening. During his first hour, he actually beats all the competition combined.

When Glenn Beck was at the network, his numbers ran 2.3 million and better, a million more on average than his replacement show called "The Five." Because of his recording setting success for the 5 o'clock hour, the notion that Media Matters drove Beck off the air is stupid wrong, but many Dems will believe anything they are told.
