Fox News is ONE channel available primarily on US domestic cable and satellite systems with very little viewership outside of the US.

CNN is a worldwide network with news bureaus in 31 international cities employing more than 3,000 people. They have the additional resources of more than 1,000 affiliate stations worldwide. The main domestic feed (the one Fox fans insist is about to “go out of business”) is one of 24 different CNN brands seen all over the globe (HLN, CNN International; CNNEspanol, CNN Airport, CNN Philippines, CNN Turk, CNN Indonesia etc). CNN is available in more than 200 countries and has a worldwide global audience of more than 2 billon people.

Most significantly: CNN’s digital platforms (CNN.com and associated social media sites) are the No. 1 news websites in the US with 30 million more unique monthly visitors than Fox and twice as many followers on Facebook and Twitter than Fox.

Bottom line: Old white people in the US watch Fox News Channel. The entire world engages with CNN.

CNN isn’t going anywhere.
Thanks. I like that.

I think part of it is that they design their show around topics that use inflammatory terms and articles to get people to have knee jerk reactions.

Is the article on any other news?

Hillary is history to Dem's but fox uses her to stir up hate for her

Thanks a great article. I saw these:

It conjures the image of Fox News as a black hole that sucks facts out of viewers' heads.

hose who listed Fox News as one of their news sources had overall lower levels of knowledge on the factual questions. Fox viewers were less likely to know the capital of Canada, the religion of the Dalai Lama, or the size of the Federal budget. They couldn't find South Carolina on map or name the second digit of pi.

It's no secret to advertisers that the average Fox News viewer has less formal education and income than the average New York Times reader.

Wow, that's amazing, I didn't know that this network actually subtracts IQ points, but it really does. It's a cancer to being informed.

Warning: do not click on Zero Hedge links ...unless you want to consume Russian propaganda.

How Do We Know Zero Hedge is a Kremlin Operation?

Zero Hedge "is an important transmission belt moving the story from Russian propagandists/information warriors to western news consumers."

Far left ministry of propaganda network CNN is redefining losing every year, as there seems to be no bottom in sight for how low their ratings will go. Devoting almost all their attention to the false flag Russia hoax impeachment "malarkey" has proven to be a real snooze fest for all but the half dozen or so loyal viewers they have left.

Meanwhile, FOX News is winning big, just like Trump and the epic display of winning he has delivered to everything he touches (while everything Biden touches feels uncomfortable and violated). Markets at new highs almost every week... Unemployment at 50 year lows... 3rd world countries don't like us, and they are more hesitant to gift their bottom 20% to us... A big, beautiful wall is being built... Wages rising... Obama's endless wars without end are being scaled back and even ended. Peace, prosperity and love, all things dreaded by the degenerate, rude and ungrateful left. But they still get to take part in the prosperity they hate so much and want to destroy.

The past 3 years have been amazing for republicans. They didn't know this level of winning was possible. Certainly not this soon, and Trump is just getting started! Seeing CNN destroy itself is yet another sweet cherry on top of this victory cake. Plenty more where that came from, and plenty to go around for everyone

Stick that in your pie holes and like it lefties, or not. America is winning and there's not a damn thing you can do to stop it, so you might as well learn to accept and like it, like a normal American patriot!
Yup those folks not inclined to watch Fox are the kind not to get their talking points from pundits.

Whoever is in charge should turn CNN into a Nature channel or Animal Planet type of channel.
