Fox News Channel dominated basic cable for the month of April, beating news, sports, and entertainment networks in total day and primetime viewers, while rival news channel CNN continued to shed its audience.
According to Nielsen Media Research, FNC garnered 2.4 million viewers in primetime and finished first among all basic cable stations for the third month in a row, and 1.4 million viewers in total day to top basic cable for the 34th consecutive month.
For the 208th month in a row, FNC also beat left-leaning CNN and MSNBC across both categories, while CNN marked its lowest-rated month in total day viewers since October 2015, and since August 2015 in the key demographic of viewers age 25-54.

Admittedly I am a faithful FOX follower due to my conservative beliefs and values. I have seen clips of "the others" however and find them amusing to say the least. Sheppard Smith on FOX however is becoming a bit of a bore as he is a never Trumper and he has difficulty hiding it. I believe in "fair and balanced" giving the other side an opportunity to express an opinion but sometimes it is just too much to comprehend how "intelligent" people can believe the crap they are espousing.
SO Y IS CNN STILL CONSIDERED THE MSM ?
THE MSM IS FOX NEWS NOW.
Overall Fox ratings are down too. They really don't have any real competition in the Conservative News Entertainment market.. so I would expect them to have higher ratings than their not so Conservative peers.
People tend to like their own confirmation bias.. so it stands to reason that a more "unbiased" source would get lower ratings.... people like their "liberal" or "conservative" bias shown to them.
This news story should reveal how tragic "news" has become... it's not really news anymore.. it's entertainment, and any real unbiased will never stand a chance even if it did start.
