In the wake of the North Korean Missile Crisis and the 2006 Lebanon War, Fox saw a surge in viewership and remained the #1 rated cable news channel. Fox still held eight of the ten most-watched nightly cable news shows, with The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes coming in first and second places, respectively.

For the year 2007, FNC was the number-one rated cable news channel in the United States when rating based on Ratings, not cumulative audience. It was down one percent in total daily viewers and down three percent in the 25-54 year old demographic, but it still boasted most of the top-rated shows on cable news led by The O'Reilly Factor. Fox News ranked #6 of all cable channels .

For the year 2009 Fox News had the highest ratings in its history, topping its cable news competition in all day parts and seeing double-digit gains for all of its programs.

In the third week of January 2010, Fox News was the highest rated basic cable channel in primetime. This marked the first time that a news channel led the primetime ratings, beating out entertainment channels such as USA, TNT, and TBS.

AND MY FAVORITE PART.............

Also in January 2010, Public Policy Polling reported that Fox News was the most trusted television news channel in the country with 49% of respondents stating they trust Fox News. Fox also scored the lowest level of distrust with only 37%, and was the only channel to score a net positive in that regard, with a +12%. CNN scored second in the poll with 39% of those polled stating that they trusted the news channel, and 41% stating distrust, a -2% net score.

LOL, but they must be doing something right to make you all get yer panties all up in a bunch!!

Kinda' funny attitude for those who support Muslims, ain't it?


A Muslim owns part of Fox with his buddy Rupert.:wink:


I heard that tonight! Good timing madam!

"It's no surprise that corporate robber baron Rupert Murdoch is a major Bush supporter but who else owns Fox News?

Prince al- Walid bin Talal stated recently that he used his influence to change Fox's headlines. During the recent riots in Muslim neighborhoods in France Fox was using the term "Muslim Riots" to describe rioting by Muslim youths and Prince bin Talal claims that called Fox News had them change the title of the story to "Youth Riots". Source. worldnetdaily.com

In another instance, where supposedly conservative Fox News should have been up in arms, was the deal by a United Arab Emirates holding company to buy U.S. ports. Suddenly Fox went from being against the deal to very supportive of a deal that would have put US container ports in foreign hands. A U.A.E. sovereign wealth fund also owns major shares of Fox.

The "good ole boys" that hang on every word that Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly utters might not be so happy when they hear who is whispering in their idol's ears."

IT'S A MUSLIM! And he made FOCKS change their headlines...pffft. I love it...lol. These people opposing Islam and parroting this noise station literally have their heads up their arses...eh?




This coming from someone who could tell the difference between President Bush and Obama in a picture. laugh


I dont believe he was alone in that,,,

well , stations broadcast whatever makes them profit, best way to change things is to hit pocketbooks, , they already determine what shows to cancel by how much viewership it gets,,


I already dont tune in to fox on purpose , good luck getting enough of a majority to feel the same,,,,,

Way ahead of these guys...I work for a large company and the security guards kept putting FOX on in the lobby, so I called the ethics line one evening and within a few days it was FOX NO MORE! FOX has been banned in the building. Victory!

"Some people watch Fox at home because it reflects their view of the world; but there are others who see it on TV in public places and assume that it's legitimate news. Fox News is often on in bars, restaurants, airport lounges, stores -- appearing to be real news, while spreading lies and fomenting hate and division.

The goal of Turn Off Fox is to reduce the number of public TVs showing Fox News, while spreading the word about Fox's poison (and how it works) to those who don't know".




"For years Fox News has used lies, distortions, and race-baiting to divide America. They’ve accused the first Black president of being a racist.1 They advanced a ruthless smear that cost Shirley Sherrod her job.2 And now Fox host Glenn Beck says he will “reclaim”3 the legacy of the civil rights movement by holding his “Restoring Honor” rally on the same day and place as Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.4

Recently, it's gotten dangerous. Last month, a heavily armed man got into a gun fight with police after he was pulled over on his way to kill people at the Tides Foundation5 — a non-profit that was little known until Glenn Beck repeatedly demonized it, claiming it to be the center of a great conspiracy.6 Last year, Kansas doctor George Tiller was gunned down while at church7 after Bill O'Reilly called him a Nazi, a "baby killer," and warned of "Judgment Day."8

Fox is a poison, and it spreads and is legitimized partly through public TVs. It's why today we're launching Turn Off Fox -- the first part of a larger campaign to diminish the influence of Fox. It's about getting Fox turned off in stores, restaurants, and other public places.

You can help by declaring your own a household "Fox free" and at the same time appealing to public establishments in your community to stop playing Fox. It takes just a moment, and you'll get a FREE Turn Off Fox sticker when you do."

WOW, I did not know POX had time to report on other's viewership numbers while at the same time race baiting and shlling for corporate interests...and of course while operating as a subsidiary of the GOP.

Funny about this weekend's "big" news, Beck, the guy who called Obama a racists was trying to own MLK's legacy...LOLOLOLOL...It does not get weird enough for me (HST would say again today if alive).


"Become an internationalist and learn to respect all life. Make war on machines. And in particular the sterile machines of corporate death and the robots that guard them."
Abbie Hoffman

Update: One of the security guards was pizzed he could not watch the racist's rally... well tough, we surely don't want visitors to think we were lying when claiming to be a diverse company in a diverse nation...now would we?

TURN THE POX OFF...hope others wil call their ethics lines and complain. It worked for me...heh.

Shepard Smith is the only sane person on the entire Fox crew. The rest is garbage. Shepard tells news, others tell BS and lies and propaganda.

The Fox Report with Shepard Smith remains the top-rated newscast in cable news and is ranked third in the top programs in U.S. cable news.[5] Shepard Smith tied for second (along with Dan Rather and Peter Jennings) as the most trusted news anchor on both network and cable news in a 2003 TV Guide poll.[6] In addition to anchoring Fox News Channel's flagship news program, Smith also anchors most prime time news presentations provided by Fox News for the Fox television network.

On November 19, 2007, The New York Times reported that Smith had signed a three-year contract giving him between US$7 and 8 million per year. This contract places Smith into the same pay league as anchor Brian Williams of NBC and former anchor Charles Gibson of ABC.

lol,, here it is again,,,,if the facts are there , their copy and paste makes them questionable or the SOURCE from which they were copied and pasted

if there is no copy and paste or source, then the FACTS are questionable

as if posters have ever been full of FACTS as opposed to opinions (and other things)

No no no, POX lies and promotes hatred and it's cousin, ignorance.

POX is a wholly owned subsidiary of the GOP and corporate shills. They have no right to call themselves a news station at all.

Gee, it’s hard to admit when you’re wrong.


CNN busted running phony Gaza propaganda, yanks video


Little Green Footballs exposed the fraud, so CNN pulled the video from its website without explanation. However, the propaganda lives on in the form of a text-only story.

The video can be viewed on the clipped website.
