The New York Post is reporting that Fox News Channel—the number one cable news channel in America—is still gaining in popularity. It was already way ahead of CNN, and now it’s even further ahead. Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity top the list of popular Fox News Channel politicos.

In the 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. time slot, CNN’s “Larry King” live saw its ratings tumble 23 percent, while Fox’s “Hannity & Colmes” posted a 19 percent rise. […]
