How does this discussion make any sense at all?

They only have at maximum 2.5 million viewers. That's not even 1% of the US population

According to your article it states Fox News averaged more viewers than any other basic cable network so that tells me Fox News is on top Numbnuts. Again you didn’t get your facts straight. TC the spreader of fake news maybe you can fill-in for Lester Joke on NBC Nightly News and the executive people will even let you wear your hat 😆.

I’m not commenting on the legitimacy of the article or taking a political position. But... Fear sells. Ratings aren’t an indicator of truth. Just means a lot of people respond to fear and/or sensationalism or whatever production values interest them.

It is absolutely true that no more than 1 percent of the country is watching Fox News at any particular time most evenings.

Bear in mind, though, that weekly cume is likely much higher. The numbers also don't consider alternative means of accessing content.

Fox News and all cable news networks have terrible ratings with people under the age of 55. Median viewer age is about 70.

FNC and MSNBC are running away with the cable news race in primetime. CNN is generally a distant third.

Probably better to get news from the AP or Reuters.

If you want to see the state of local news, goog "Ap Newswire Mi" and read what has been clearing lately. Most outlets send up one story a day.
