I’m addicted to Fox News Channel, which is now available in Canada, please contact your local cable or satellite provider, no do it now, seriously, we’ll wait right here.
It’s completely different.
I find it’s somewhat different than our state-run CBC Newsworld and the other Liberal*Vision in Canada in that they let conservatives say things, and when conservatives are saying things, the anchors and reporters don’t sneer! Seriously! And then they don’t roll their eyes or counter their comments with seven liberal university professor geniuses from Ontario. Plus they have newsy talk-shows that feature actual, live, smart, human, conservatives, in the flesh.
There is another side to the news! Who’da thunk it?
And here’s something—I haven’t ONCE heard that phrase created by Liberal-friendly ad firms in Quebec but now lovingly adopted by all Canadian Liberal*Vision media: “Hidden Agenda”. Apparently, thanks to Fox News Channel, they’re far more politically sophisticated down there, and they’re so over that kind of tripe.
It’s really quite remarkable.
Fox Tops CNN in the Ratings Battle
CNN celebrated its 25th anniversary this week with a three-day bash in Atlanta. The cable network shipped in correspondents from across the globe for festivities that climaxed with a Hall and Oates concert.
But when the May ratings came out on Thursday, the party ended with a crash.
According to Nielsen Media Research numbers, more than twice as many viewers were tuning into Fox News Channel as to CNN. On average, in a 24-hour period 1.4 million people tuned into Fox while 610,000 watched CNN.
FNC said it “continued its dominance” over CNN, its chief rival, and said its numbers were up 11 percent compared to May 2004. Meanwhile, CNN lost viewers.
FNC’s top talent clearly dominated the prime-time hours. The O’Reilly Factor topped the charts with an average 1,985,000 viewers. It was followed by four other Fox shows: Hannity & Colmes, Greta Van Susteren, Shepard Smith, and Special Report With Brit Hume.
CNN didn’t break the FNC lock until Larry King Live, with 970,000 viewers. No CNN show pulled in a million viewers.
