CNN's viewership has dropped to its lowest point since 1991, The New York Daily News reports, while Fox News continues to lead by a wide margin. In the last year, CNN's ratings have dropped about 35% to an average of 446,000 viewers, while Fox News Channel's ratings have only dropped 1% to an average of 1.79 million viewers. MSNBC, the second-most watched news channel, is down 13% to an average of 689,000.

However, CNN's drop in viewership is primarily in the U.S. Internationally, the network continues to hold relatively strong ratings. "Piers Morgan Tonight" and Anderson Cooper's eponymous talk show, "Anderson," have not dropped quite as far as CNN's overall ratings, but they're still on the decline. What news channel do you tune into most often, if any?

    For the few that watch MSNBC, "hey they make up the news," it's yellow journalism at best.

    I see of the news picked Fox News wins again, but I understand why none of the above won over all when most of the news being reported is bad and depressing.

    I try to do computer research because even though Fox is the best for the most accurate news, they are still selective about what they air. The others are a joke. For those who have heard the complete story and then see the "partial" or "twisted" version, if anything is aired at all, it is no wonder the liberal channels are in the tank. The media is part of the problem for the split in the American public. When people get different or wrong news they will come to different and wrong conclusions. The problem is, it hurts all of us. Like today, it does not take a rocket scientist to remember Obama said it was not a tax, yet another lie. He then flips and says it is a tax so he can get it passed because the way it was he knew it was unconstitutional. Yet Obama lovers do not seem to let these lies and disgusting behavior stop them. And no racist cries, please. He is half white, why would I hate him for that? It is those who scream racist and focus on his black side that are racists. Shame on you! It is his policies and behavior that make me cringe. Most news channels are not helping you understand what he is doing. Wake up!!

    So NBC owns MSNBC, and that certainly doesn't make them trustworthy, unless you call Chris Matthews announcing that he is peeing down his leg a top news story. You should watch all of them before deciding on which to watch. It may surprise you.

    I don't observe ABC listed here. Folks, ABC still stands for American Broadcasting
    Corporation. Not "Already Been Chewed". They are a very outstanding news broadcaster.
    CBS and NBC are both excellent news broadcasters as well. Both are also glareing
    absent from this list. Now I'm not saying that CNN, Fox, Current, MSNBC, and BBC
    are bad news companies. Quite the contrary. Even the worst of the lot (and I haven't
    the foggiest idea who that could be) is a very good news broadcaster. I just belive that
    this list is a little bit on the vague side. It could stand to be a little more comprehensive
    than what I observe here.

    If you look at key issues ABC skips over almost as many important stories and NBC and CBS. For the 20 years I listened to NPR news, "All Things Considered", Terry Gross (Remember the O'Reilly-Franken feud where Gross the interviewer joked throughout the program with Franken, then fried Bill in his segment in blatant bias) and others, they slid from roughly even coverage to covering one side. I quit as a contributing member when Maine Public Broadcasting demanded that a 20 year radio personality (The Humble Farmer) was required to sign a "loyalty pledge" regarding "opinion" between the "old fashion" music (greats in "jazz and other early 20th century American music). His program was always a mostly music, a few usually dry jokes and a poke here and there about changes in America and politics. I spoke in a hearing in support of Humble and since C.Beck wanted Humble gone anyway, the hearing was done for public show! ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, HLN have tried to compete in the entertainment venue. They are out-matched and out-classed at all levels. Its a real shame as good people stand in the shadows behind "headline" personalities like Schultz and Mathews who lack all the qualifications for real reporting, except a big mouth!

    The one I would l watch the least would be MSNBC. The few times it was on I could not believe the crap they were spewing. Keith Oberman was the biggest twit/jerk I ever had the misfortune to listen to. When he went to town on Scott brown a few years back I pretty much made my mind up then that he was an a$$ in the same character as Bill Maher. I consider both as a waste of flesh and oxygen stealers.

    I cannot say much about Beck or Limbaugh but I'm sure I wouldn't want to listen to them rant either. I find the the whole rant / character assassination coming from a so called journalist very distasteful.

    MSNBC, but I like BBC and Current too. I think Fox News is watched the most because it is more accessible to people who don't have certain cable stations. It worries me though that Fox News is the most watched because it's been proven to be very nonfactual in nature and very right slanted. I hope people don't put too much stock into what they see on Fox. Overall, I kind of think that the news has really been cancelled.

    RW "You don't watch Fox News because it's been proven to be very nonfactual in nature and very right slanted?". I've never seen any proof or evidence of that being the case. Anybody that prefers MSNBC to anything has to be a twisted left wing liberal. MSNBC is known for their lies and on air tantrums. Olbermann couldn't talk without spittleing all over the microphone, and Chris Matthews has to talk about peeing down his leg in his high-pitched voice, and Mr. Ed is even nastier talking than Maher. Both of them like to call women derogatory names, so I don't understand why a woman like you wants to listen to that crap. But if that's your thing knock yourself out. As for your asinine comment about Fox News, you don't have to worry your pretty little head about Fox, because you've got enough to worry about if you're watching MSNBC.
  • rw jabo 2012/08/02 04:31:34

    I have no idea what you're talking about as far as the derogatory names thing goes. Where did you hear this? Do your research. Just look at most of their guests, reporters and commentators too.
  • Derbyhat rw 2012/06/29 08:58:48

    You spew the notion that Fox is non-factual like many air heads and liberals and when asked to specify with time, date and story, the answer has so far been "lots of times" and no one ever comes up with the evidence.

    Sure I don't always agree with the O'Reilly, Hannity, Van Sustren, Cavuto or others, but when Colms, Harputlian and others speak their piece, you have to realize that common sense resides somewhere far toward the right.

    RW, what you need most to understand, that the White House through these agencies cannot limit free speech. I listen to you, you listen to me. If we disagree, that is fine. If someone like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and others ignore news critical to you. Has your news source told you that illegal imigrants are flooding into the country and Homeland Security know its happening and doing only token roundups, or that the Obama government aided guns getting into Mexico and have been connected to murders on both sides of the border? Perhaps a little but without details.

    Choose your news source for facts and details or just fiction. At least with Fox, you can hear the truth and its up to you to recognize it!
  • rw Derbyhat 2012/08/02 04:27:14

    Haven't been on here for a while. I know some people might answer "lots of times" without trying to offer proof. I think that's silly to not try to back up what you say without proof. I found some helpful websites for now:

    http://www.worldpublicopinion... (start paying attention around page 17).
    http://www.fair.org/index.php...

    Fox also does things like jump the gun on Obama's health care law ruling and initially report it incorrectly because they want anything he does to fail so badly.

    I'm in healthcare and I see providers making plans for early retirements, other vocations or other locations where the emergency rooms have people in need rather than a cigarette burn or an unruly kid or just seeking another fix. My insurance went up the quarter after Obamacare passed. Obama is poison to a free people, but hopefully the antidote comes in November and your kids will have some money in their piggybanks to learn about their own financial wellbeing and not have Obama do it for them!

    Join the campaign to turn MSNBC off permanently and America would be a whole lot better off. MSNBC loves Obama so much they are scared to tell the truth about what is going on, at
    least Fox is not scared of Obama and they report all the facts good or bad.
