Some Good News For Democracy!


Could it be that Fox Veiwers are waking up, or are they all so broke they can't pay their cable bills?

Channel Island: The TV Industry Blog:

"You may recall my column last month noting the recent ratings cool-off for Fox News Channel, where, as I put it, 'explosive growth appears to be, like the president�s 90% approval rating in the days following Sept. 11, a relic from the first Bush term.'

I know I'm risking another cascade of hysterics from right-wing bloggers here, but the May ratings prove this trend has legs. Fox News' average prime-time viewing audience tumbled 6%, to 1.3 million total viewers, compared with May 2005, according to figures from Nielsen Media Research. By comparison, CNN climbed 13%, to 687,000, while MSNBC was also up 13%, to 322,000. "
