FOX NEWS RATINGS DOWN,DOWN DOWN..aGAIN NOT ANITSEMITE,ANTI PASTRY BOY


Somewhere, Keith Obermann is sticking pins in a Bill O'Reilly voodoo doll: Fox News' ratings are down
since August of last year. Like, way down. Like down 28 percent in primetime among all viewers, down
20 percent in primetime in the "money demo" (viewers aged 25-54) and down 7 percent in daytime
viewership overall. In fact, the only place Fox is up is during the day, when they managed a ratings
increase of just 2 percent, and even then only in the money demo.

And lest you think this is an industry-wide trend, consider this: over the same time period, CNN and
MSNBC are up. CNN's up 35 percent during the day -- 46 percent in the money demo -- and up 21
percent in primetime overall, 25 percent in the money demo. MSNBC's ratings increases aren't quite as
impressive -- up 6 percent in primetime overall, 8 percent in the money demo, and up 36 percent in the
money demo during the day, 26 percent overall.
