Remember folks; CNN, PMSNBC & their buddies are on 24/7 in most major airports, hospital waiting areas, Doctor's offices, and other public locations. Courtesy or cntractual,, you decide. Either way, it's like an eery version of Brave New World or 1984.

P.S. Those who awaken to the truth, turn Right not Left. They also can't go back to sleep.

ABC has the worst shows.. I don't believe this is accurate. I got a list of the shows on ABC and all are bad or I never heard of it. ABC news is fake stuff too.

@ustvdb Why have you stopped updating the weekly cable network ratings? Many of us want to see and click your ads so you earn.

Damn, lol, Fox is kickin' it! CNN/MSNBC WITH ALL YOUR DISTORTIONS OF THE TRUTH THAT YOU'VE TRIED TO PASS OFF AS REPORTING THE NEWS, YOU DESERVE THE RATINGS YOU'RE GETTING!

No evidence that FOX even pretends to be News!!
They were started when Roger Aillles told Nixon his idea of making up video and selling it as news! FOX says in Court “our viewers know that we’re just commentators! Not News.
Try getting them to retract any of the thousands of proven lies they get caught saying every week? MSNBC will print and apologize for any false statements! What bubble did they raise you in? They are 80% propaganda! Proven in Court with heavy fines! Get out of the cult before you are t

So Fox isn't news? Why because they don't spew out Democrat talking points like everyone else? So there's like 5 Democrat sponsored news networks and 1 slightly less leftist network called Fox and everyone wants that 1 taken off the air so we only have 5 Democrat controlled news networks. That's the country we now live in.

1. Fox News had to pay almost a billion because they lie so much
2 add MSNBC, CNN, ABC news CNS and NBC news and foxes numbers are dwarfed

So you have to combine all of the other news channels to beat Fox?

I've been tracking this site for a good three months now, I'm glad that FOX, the least of the evils, is highest in ratings. Though I don't support everyone there, they are far FAR better than CNN or MSNBC. If nothing else speaks for FOX, at least they have patriotism and an actual LOVE for this country.

God Bless America.

Wow, interesting. Had no idea FOX was at the top. Wonder what that says about America right now, during these bad times.

it's been that way for years. fox isn't perfect by any stretch, but they admit their bias unlike other networks and their commentary is much more based in reality. what is surprising is fox attracts more younger viewers than MSNBC or CNN, though overall most people still watching TV are old people.

LoL

The Hallmark channel is more popular than CNN. This fact made my day

Stopped watching Fox before the 2020 election and switched to Newsmax. Fox’s ratings make me sick- wish they’d dip more - especially after banning Rudy. This entire country is becoming a socialist Mecca thanks to Back-of-the-head Biden. What a fkn loser- but at least we truly see that Hunter learned it all from his dear ol dad. Praying for change at the mid terms. And no more dead troops.

Newsmax is fictional, right-wing, crap. Lies and conspiracy theories geared towards gullible Trump cult member morons. Downright disgusting.

lmao

"conspiracy theories towards gullible cult member morons"
you mean like
russia
covington
kavanaugh
quid pro quo
stormy daniels
jussie smollett
bubba wallace

CNN, msmbc, abc, cbs, nbc. Must be where your getting your news. Joe Biden and his party are dishonest, lying pieces of shit. He has lied very time he opens his mouth. “I won’t leave Americans behind, I won’t raise taxes on the middle class. I’m not responsible for the boarder, I’m not responsible for the supply chain mess. I’m not responsible for the inflation.
Just what the fuck is he responsible for?
