As the informed set knows, Fox News Channel is the number one cable news channel, beating CNN in the viewer numbers by a long shot. Liberals are against that. In fact they often deny it.
But even when CNN hosts a debate among Republican presidential candidates (hosted by the CNN power team of Wolf Blitzer, Larry King, and Anderson Cooper), as they did on June 5, Fox News Channel still wins the prime time ratings. In fact, when Bill O’Reilly’s O’Reilly Factor started half-way through the debate, viewers switched from the CNN debates to watch The Factor. And liberals are flat out confused by that. It seems to defy their blather about FNC.

On a related note, you may or may not know that the Democratic candidates all got together and decided they would not take part in a debate which the Fox News Channel had attempted to organize a long while before the CNN Republican debate. They pretended that their non-cooperation was to protest what they want you to believe is a conservative bias at Fox News Channel —“bias” being the word liberals use to explain a channel which shows both sides—liberals are dead set against that. But of course that only made them look silly, and made their friend, the “safe” CNN look even sillier. It said more about them and their fear of being asked good hard questions by a balanced panel, for once, than it did about Fox News Channel.
Yesterday Fox News Channel boss Roger Ailes had some realistic words for and about those Democrats:
“The candidates that can’t face Fox, can’t face Al Qaeda,” said Mr. Ailes. “And that’s what’s coming.”
EXTRA:
See this funny YouTube video short—a tired Larry King caught with a live camera during what he thought was a break hosting the Dem debate —sending his peeps out to find out if Anderson Cooper is getting more TV face time than him. Oops!
