Thanks to Matt Drudge for these stats.
Fox News Channel (“FNC” in the stats) dominates massively. But what I find most amusing is that a joker, a comedian, a “pretend” news anchor, Jon Stewart of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”, beats all of CNN’s big-time-star (“serious”) news anchors. That’s gotta hurt.

…And I almost forgot to mention that Fox News Channel is no longer banned by the state-censor and regulator in Canada (the CRTC division of the Liberal Party) and is available to Rogers Cable, Shaw Cable, and Star*Choice subscribers. Fox News Channels actually allows conservatives’ thoughts to leak out into society unmocked. Check it out! It’s really quite astonishing.
