Well Mr. President, if Fox News is responsible for the failure of Obamacare, maybe that's because Fox presents the facts and presents them to a larger audience than MSNB and CNN combined!

Fox News Destroys Competitors In November Ratings

Business Insider


Fox News triumphed in the cable news ratings battle in November, grabbing more total day and primetime viewers than its two rival competitors — CNN and MSNBC — combined.

It marks the 143rd consecutive month that Fox News has come out on top, and it ranked second in all of cable for the month of November — behind only ESPN. It featured the top 14 programs in all of cable news.

In primetime, Fox was down 21% in total viewers and 41% in the key 25-54 age demographic from last November — when the presidential election boosted numbers. That marked the lowest decline — both CNN and MSNBC were down more than 50% in both categories in primetime.

Some highlights for the network: "Special Report with Bret Baier" and "The Five" had their highest-rated months of the year; Megyn Kelly's new show, "The Kelly File," was up 30% in total viewers vs. 2013 to date, and "MediaBuzz," Howard Kurtz's new show, is up 73% in the key demo from Week 1 to Week 12 of the show.

MSNBC finished in second while CNN finished in third, as it posted its lowest numbers in both total viewers and the key demo since August 2012. "New Day" had its worst month since its launch in June, down 46% and 29%, respectively, from "Early Start" last November. One bright spot was Anderson Cooper's show, which was up 25% — and 26% in the demo.
