FOX News is reporting that they beat CNN in the ratings during the war coverage.

Seems CNN had met its match. People would rather watch a pro American station rather than an anti American one. Well surprise, surprise...

I think the term is self parody.

CNN better make sure there's another war soon so they can fight back in the ratings war.

I find it astounding that people can consider something as insanely right wing as CNN a left wing new channel.

That's sad that people want to watch a more biased and unobjective news source. CNN isn't the best... but FOX is the worst.

Fox was beating CNN long before the War... so it really shouldn't surprise people that the same thing happened during the war...

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Just because one watches CNN or Fox doesn't make you "ignorant"... I found myself watching both channels to get the "visuals"... I just didn't fall hook line and sinker for their spin. I went to other new's sources to get a more balanced view.

Oh... and UberKruX... Even in response to a moronic jingo comment, the next time I see you use the term "towel heads", you will get restricted...

Jennings and Rather are decent. It's a hell of a lot better than being Rupert Murdoch's sponge.

I don't like any of them including Bill O'Riley. I remember when news sources at least tried to just present the facts.

How moronic. We have a few tabloids around here that tend to do the same. I've never figured out who cares. I couldn't care less. It's like saying that anyone at the top of the billboard is doing the best music, in a objective sense.
