O'Reilly, Hannity, Glenn Beck, Greta, etc. All of them have huge/record ratings. Liberals have had an incredible few years, winning widely in local elections, Congressional elections and the presidency. There are a lot of us liberals out there. So why aren't CNN and MSNBC doing better? Is it because liberals tend to check those networks' websites over watching the actual shows? Or do liberals not care as much for political/opinion shows? Here's some numbers in cable primetime viewership for the week ending March 22, 2009: Fox News - 2,150,000 viewers (2nd place overall behind USA) CNN - 914,00 viewers (21st place) MSNBC - 886,000 viewers (23rd place) http://www.huffingtonpost...s-crazy-hi_n_178615.html Edited By: syncdafied 03/30/2009 8:33 PM.

They don't really have any of news channels to watch. Liberals have several places to get their news so they generally don't concentrate on just one channel.

Whereas conservatives flock to mainly Fox News and the crazies on the radio like Rush. I just read a study on this, I'll try to find the link to it.

Although we do have more websites that a lot of us younger Repubs use, but we have to also remember our party tends to be the older generation of Americans that don't necessarily go to the internet for news. They read the paper and complain, watch Fox News and listen to the radio. Libs are young and up on technology. It's always been that way. I love FNC though. Although, I really am sad that Colmes left Hannty. I really liked the bickering. It's just not the same anymore, it's like his radio show condensed into one hour. I agree- plus I think FNC is just better - Plus Shepard Smith makes it here you want to watch his show- I him

Media Matters and all those sites monitor it. So it's not just right wing people watching Fox.

I switch betweeen Fox & Friends and Morning Joe. Morning Joe is really good. Their panel is fair. Fox & Friends is ridiculous. I hate how Fox News brags about their "Fair and Balanced" slogan. And conservatives actually believe that network is fair and balanced. Crazy.

Hannity is batshit crazy. O'Reilly is just a perv. Greta has ties to Sarah Palin. But they're all fair and balanced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111
