FOX News breaks record
 

"Fox News just had the best quarter in the history of cable news."

"Fox News averaged 1.7 million total day viewers and averaged 2.8 million viewers during prime-time hours, making it first among all cable channels in both categories, the network said in a press release. Fox News has now been No. 1 for 61 quarters in a row."

Fox News Has Best Quarter in Cable News History While CNN, MSNBC Show Growth

=========================

I am sure that FOX thanks all the liberal viewers that contributed to making FOX number one. Without them, as well as Independents and conservatives, FOX could not have broken this historic record.

Key demo (25-54) for day- 289,000. Key demo at night 588,000.

Just to compare The Walking Dead (no, not the Fox viewers but the actual show) get 12,000,000 mostly in the key demo.

It is amazing what happens to news viewers when their President is under investigation and his cover ups have begun.

since we are discussing viewers, pre cable, Watergate, by the way, got a note in the History of Television....

"Throughout his career, Nixon had a love-hate relationship with television; during his presidency, it became his undoing. It may have begun when CBS Evening News devoted an unprecedented 14 minutes to recap the breaking Watergate scandal. Certainly by 1973, as the events led up to the Senate Watergate Hearings, which the networks rotated over 300 hours of coverage, it was clearly the endgame. After the House committee hearings called for impeachment, Nixon appeared on television to resign his presidency.




CNN had its most-watched first quarter in 14 years (since 1Q 2003) among both adults 25-54 and total viewers. Among all quarters, the network posted its second highest quarterly ratings in total day (25-54 and total viewers) and 3rd highest in prime time (25-54) since 4Q 2008.

Of course people are watching...most can't turn away from train wrecks. :D

Let's not forget.... ;)

STUDY: Watching Fox News Makes You Less Informed Than Watching No News At All - Business Insider

And it's only gotten worse since this study. :ho:




Deepest Sincere Wishes: :wave:

Wow.
A study that shows that everyone who took the test got ONE out of FIVE questions correct.
Everyone.

And then there's this:
"Researchers asked 1,185 random nationwide respondents what news sources they had consumed in the past week and then asked them questions about events in the U.S. and abroad."
There is not a single valid constant in that premise.

I am very interested in what the questions were...

Aha. Here is the real study, as NOT interpreted by a fake news site:
What you know depends on what you watch: People learn most from NPR, Sunday Morning Shows, The Daily Show; least from MSNBC, Fox News

Interesting read for sure.

However, it is FIVE years old, which is ancient history in this business.

All outlets have dramatically changed their business models in those years from hours of hard news versus commentary, versus covering live breaking news.

This kind of study would be interesting, uodated with time frames which would allow for changing news cycles.

Much too old to be useful

However, in reading it does reflect for that time, the narrow biased content on Fox, for example. I also know that perhaps, if this was updated, and this is my opinion....Fox has become much more narrow in their scope, and MSNBC has come from extreme left to left. CNN, which for years was and I think still is the place for live breaking news, again in my opinion is in the process of change.

Bias is an issue with all networks. The reference in this old study to the Sunday talk shows is relevant I think. Those shows become informative because of the guests, and if their editors do a good job in seeking and booking, the factors will change.

Like the idea, but very outdated.

Sorry to hurt your feelings.


Nahh, that was just a little Chump hyperbole/lie...I'm not sorry in the least. :1rotfl:



Deepest Sincere Wishes: :wave:

Laugh it up as you consider the fact that the dumbest people in that survey were Liberals who watched FOX News.

FOX News breaks record
 

What a joke, average age of a Fox News viewer is 68 ! Talk about a moot point.

Coming from the massively insecure person, who has almost 30,000 posts and over 600 supposed 'friends' on this site alone...big surprise you choose and brag about quantity over quality. :1rotfl: :1rotfl:




Deepest Sincere Wishes: :wave:

I think you meant 'moot.'

Then again, a lot of the really old Faux News viewers can't seem to speak facts or the truth...so maybe you're closer to the truth after all. :1rotfl:

Comrade, is it that you don't applaud successful business or you worry as to why the quiet and successful, hard working people of America watch this channel? Perhaps if you would watch it for a few days, you would see why it is so popular. The talking heads don't always agree with each other but the show does have excellent writers and producers who see that what is aired as news is factual and not opinionated.

Most people, as they age and gain life experience, some degree of financial security and wisdom, become more conservative in their views. Perhaps you are too young to know this yet. If a woman is not a liberal when she is young, she has no heart, and if she is not a conservative when she is old, she has no brain.

Personal and sincere kicks to your silly posterior.

:1rotfl:

Your whining, insecurity, inability to think on your own, your need to be 'part of the pack' and passive-aggressiveness...are all too obvious. :oops:

That you think longevity alone automatically connotes 'wisdom'... proves to me that you're really insecure about being so old. :D

You have mentioned numerous times about me being 'young' so it's really going to leave a large bruise to tell you that I'm in my 60's...and was very successful in my chosen career. :ho:

I know you are older and seem to possibly be in the early stages of dementia, but I could be wrong and it's just that you're angry at how pathetic your life turned out to be.

But hey, I didn't cause that so please, for the sake of saving yourself from further embarrassment...go crawl back in your insecure hole.

I know you won't though. ;)



Deepest Sincere Wishes: :wave:

You think quiet people watch Fox? The Fox viewers I know are far from that. Loudly opinionated would be a polite term. And with 30,000 posts you are hardly a wallflower. I can only imagine what a conversationalist you are.

Liberals always have excuses for everything that makes them look truly stupid.

You come with such ridiculous statements like "well, it's proven that if one ONLY watches FOX then they are stupid and can't answer questions." How many of you libtards believe that someone watches ONLY FOX? DO you only watch FOX? After all, it is proven that almost half the FOX viewers are either liberals or Independents.

It does not matter what you say about MSNBC or CBS or PBR or NPR or whatever, FOX came out number one, and made broadcast history for such a long run at number one.

I knew that there would be much gnashing of teeth and renting of clothing when I posted it. You proved my theory.

The point is that it does not matter if you agree with FOX, you still watch it. Let's face it, you get a lot more coverage with FOX than you do with the rest of the liberal media. And before you suggest that it has something to do with their reporters or whatnot, most of what FOX has is from the AP or Reuters. There is no other reason for the rest of the networks to censor news, than the fact that they have an agenda. At least, if FOX has a conservative agenda, they still broadcast the news item. This is why liberals come to FOX for their news. Otherwise, they would not even hear much of it.

Chi. I am disappointed. I think a great variety of people watch Fox, but not those with the kitty hats with fur. No. I don't think they do. I know a lot of Ohio people watch Fox and they are fairly nice in their day to day actions. They aren't horn honkers behind you at the light, when your old brain thinks how lucky you are to be living this day and you take a few seconds to move forward. I type a lot, that is true AND it is correct I have never been a wallflower. I try when I am feeling insecure to remember that others in the room might be even feeling more insecure. That has worked so far. I see no reason for your character assassination. It isn't like you at all. You are way smarter and usually kinder than that.

Perhaps Passive aggressive is how all big mouth people view the behavior of those from areas where mothers would smack you in the mouth for things like you just said. I think our differences go beyond age and geographic area. Everyone I know and have ever known would think that you are rude, unkind, have no bringings up and probably have failed in a lot of areas. Not one person I spend any time with ever, EVER, speaks like you do. Do your friends talk to you like that? Your children? Your wife? Did your mom?

You nailed it!!



There are a lot of us that are proud of you. :BigApplause:

:1rotfl:

Perhaps 'passive-aggressive' simply describes nasty, mean little gossipy twits...who try to fool others with the occasional cute homey saying? ;)

You don't fool everyone, so quit the bullying and throwing your not-so-insignificant weight around...and just live with it. :ho:

As to commenting on your spouse/parents/family in a demeaning way, I have a lot more class/ethics/integrity than you will ever have...and won't do it. :thumbup:




Deepest Sincere Wishes: :wave:

in summary, Fox little news but lots opinion.

Now this surprises me, from you.

I have friends here and in Illinois who watch Fox and are very nice people, so you are right about that. And thanks for the kind words, but many of these same people can turn on a dime when it comes to any mention of a viewpoint that is not in lockstep with the the Fox indoctrination, especially the ones that have Fox as their only news source. The fact that they speak the same mantra suggests some form of brainwashing. But keeping away from the political side we have fun together like there is no divide.

I guess the key here is that if they are nice people to begin with that can transcend political boundaries.

See...as a woman...you often feel insecure. It's a common trait among women. You don't hear that from men...because we're the ones making you FEEL insecure. It's the way nature made us. We're the predator and you're the prey. We're not equal and we think VERY differently. When I go into a room...my first thought is...who would I like to go home with...not who should I fear.

Go crawl back in your hole Racist/Misogynist Boy.

Unlike you, her massive insecurity and nastiness isn't driven by a fear of the opposite sex...or those of a different skin color.

While I think she is nothing but a bully and a passive-aggressive twit...she isn't nearly the lowlife scum you are.



Deepest Sincere Wishes: :wave:

Wait. I think I met you about a year ago at a Crispers get together. I believe that you and your partner attended together and I think I remember you telling me that you taught at a college or prep school. I remember I didn't feel comfortable with either of you because you didn't seem to enjoy being there at all which is so unusual. A moustache? Dark hair? White dress shirt?

Well said. Stop to think if you knew someone like Donny B what would you do, engage him or avoid him? I try to avoid jackoffs like that, but he thrives on this forum and posts incessantly. You can't insult him; he likes it. He won't go away, where could he go and have an audience. Even the hardcore Trumpsters might not want him around, maybe.

I picture Donny B in a ramshackle singlewide with a definite hoarders look. Wearing the same raggedy shirt and filthy jeans with flip flops exposing dirty curled toenails, green teeth, locomotive breath, and snot running down his nose. And the only Mrs, B is his whacking hand,

This, unfortunetly is true.

Since the Trump entrance into the race, his friends OReilly (a good friend for years and years) Hannity, a long time supporter of Bannon and others have been touting him.

They do not lie on Fox, not that I am aware of, but to your point, the actual news, sans commentary, is pretty much Shep Smith in the PM.

While they do not lie, the do simply ignore things. If you watch Fox faithfully, you will NEVER get a grasp on what is really happening in the world at all. I watch lots of TV news (which is next to impossible at times) and there have been instances when I though I was living in Trumps fantasy world. Just flipping back and forth and the story, mostly from Fox omitting things is so different.

Example.....House and Senate have ongoing investigations into Russia involvement in our elections, plus, Trump campaign involvement with Russia, plus investigation into Trump claims of wiretapping. FOX actually mostly says they are investigating leaks and unmasking of folks. That is patently untrue, but is one of the ploys being used right now to deflect.

That's not fair to anyone who tunes in......they have an entirely different perception than what is real. Many other examples, but that just jumps off the page to me.

Ain't nobody on THIS board being passive aggressive. Aggressive aggressiveness abounds!

Maybe cracks at FOX???

Of course Fox is just "inaccurate"......everyone else is fake news


"A leaked memo signals the Trump administration will seek slight changes to the North American Free Trade Agreement in upcoming negotiations with Mexico and Canada, despite President Trump’s consistent campaign rhetoric slamming NAFTA as the “single worst trade deal ever approved in this country.”

According to the leaked letter sent by the U.S. Trade Representative’s office, the U.S. intents to “preserve U.S. rights and obligations” under NAFTA, “in particular, with respect to market access.”

The White House quickly denied the contents of the letter, saying they were not "accurate."

OMG...Awesome!! :1rotfl: :1rotfl:

If I had tried to design a way to expose your nosiness and busybody character flaws, I couldn't have done better...than what you just did. :thumbup:

But no, I have never been to any Crisper's meeting or had the misfortune of even seeing you in public...much less the icky thought of meeting you in person. :ohdear:

But thanks for revealing the real you. :ho:



Deepest Sincere Wishes: :wave:

I thought so. " Icky" lol.

So it was FAKE NEWS ?

By the way speaking of Fake news....Senate comm in discussing FAKE NEWS today testifies the hackers kept track of when Trump was on line and would plant fake news, and invariably he would discuss it either on Twitter or in a campaign stop.

OK, busted...that was me. ;)

That stunning woman that you kept leering at with icicle eyes because she made you feel so 'icky'...was my gorgeous partner.

Don't you remember that you became enraged when you found out that she held three masters degrees...as well as being so beautiful and thin? :D

I remember it like it was yesterday...good times. :thumbup:

Not sure how serious these become....


"Next week, according to sources, a grand jury in Manhattan will be hearing new testimony in a federal investigation of Fox News that had been led by former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, until he was fired by Trump earlier this month. The case continues without Bharara, and people familiar with the investigation say the government is looking into a number of potential crimes, including Fox News’s alleged surveillance of journalists, and whether network executives misled investors by hiding Ailes’s sexual-harassment settlements. (A contender to replace Bharara is Ailes’s personal attorney Marc Mukasey — a choice that could have consequences for the investigation.)"
