Republicans Increasingly Turn to Fox News


Pew Research: "Only Fox News has maintained its audience size, and this is because of the increasing number of Republicans who regularly get news there. Four-in-ten Republicans (40%) now say they regularly watch Fox News, up from 36% two years ago and just 18% a decade ago. Just 12% of Republicans regularly watch CNN, and just 6% regularly watch MSNBC."

"As recently as 2002, Republicans were as likely to watch CNN (28%) as Fox News (25%). The share of Democrats who regularly watch CNN or Fox News has fallen from 2008."

1. It must be a REALLY REALLY super slow news day

if someone actually thought this article was necessary to inform anybody about anything in any way, shape or form.

5. What's news to me from this

is that only 40% will admit it.

2. a lot of people want the news to slant towards their own political views.

i would much rather have an objective news source than one that simply reinforces my own views. the BBC and NPR aren't too bad. i can't really point to a network i could categorize as 100 percent neutral, however.

be that as it may, i'm not interested in even scanning through the faux republican commercial, and i have also removed MSNBC from my daily news viewing habits.

3. Biggest misnomer ever.

Fox has never had anything in common with news.

They are the propaganda ministry of the GOP.
