"The cable news ratings for the third quarter of 2010 were released today, and Fox News is showing signs of decline as their viewership has decreased by 21%, and their top shows all posted double digit losses, while MSNBC’s shows grew and the network attracted more younger viewers.
Fox News is still dominating the cable news ratings. The network has the top 11 programs in cable news, but there are ominous signs that the empire is starting to crack. Compared to the third quarter of 2009, Fox has lost 21% of their total viewers, and 26% of their younger viewers. The biggest loser on the network was Bill O’Reilly who saw his program The O’Reilly Factor lose 12% of its total viewers and 21% of its young viewers. Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Bret Baier, and Greta Van Susteren rounded out the top five cable news shows, and they each posted double digit declines. "

This is encouraging news.
As President Obama has pointed out there is WAY too much information out there for the good of a government. In Venezuela and European countries which we all know are better off than the U.S. in every way (except jobs), they have only MSNBC-style TV where the government can get their message across without all the hateful dissent. People are calmer and they don’t argue constantly with the government. They do what they are told and they are happier. Once crazy negative rable rousers like FOX are finally off the air we can all hear just the GOOD news.
P.S. Some right-wing teabaggers will no doubt say it is misleading to claim Fox is losing viewers simply because Fox’s ratings soared to all-time highs in 3Q 2009 (during the height of the Tea Party/Townhall meeting summer) then settled back to normal. But what would you expect from those a-holes?
