Quote:
The audience for cable news shrank in 2010, according to a Pew Research Center report, with viewership for the dominant Fox News declining by 11 percent, CNN plummeting by 37 percent, and MSNBC down 5 percent.

"It's not that people are not watching cable," says Amy S. Mitchell, deputy director of the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. "They're just not turning to news as much."

The trend was particularly deflating for Fox News, which had been on a ratings growth spurt since 2007. Is this the end of Fox's meteoric climb in the ratings, and, if so, why?

Fox News viewers have become so stupid that they've forgotten how to turn on their TV?

I'd watch it if it was Megan Fox News

Maybe they're getting tired of hearing about the sky falling on a daily basis.

They've all had heart attacks watching Glenn Beck. It's not good business if you scare your viewers to death, which isn't hard if they're mostly over 60

I can understand that because I find the news depressing, so I have to turn it off anymore. I'd rather watch a comedy or go for a walk instead.

Why are you focusing on FOX News when all of them are losing ratings? That says far more about cable news in general than about FOX in particular. They don't even have the biggest drop, CNN does. What makes FOX so important in all this?

Wait, Fox is still trampling CNN and MSNBC: Fox News isn't the one with the ratings problems, says Fox host Bill O'Reilly in the Boston Herald. Last month in primetime, we were the second highest rated channel on cable, behind only the USA network. "MSNBC came in 26th, CNN 29th. Not good for them." They could both could use "a program host who is filled with tiger blood." Charlie Sheen, MSNBC needs you.
"Low-rated shows need lowlife Charlie Sheen"

I'm not focusing on Fox news, the article is.

I'd guess that it is due to it not being election time.

Fox news for me is associated with all those utterly horrendous talk radio stations which I found when I went to America. So hopefully it's a sign that more and more people are starting to realise that most of their programming is nonsense.

CNN declined more than 3 times as much as Fox declined. The other channels also declined.

Titling this "Fox losing viewers" sounds like something Fox would do. It should be "News stations losing viewers" or "CNN, Fox, other news channels lose viewers."

CNN lost about 3.5x the amount of viewers than Fox, but the article focuses in on Fox.....odd, no? lol

OK, I'll start making up my own headlines when posting stories and not use the one linked to.
