Once again, Fox News can't get a show in the top 40....
For a very long stretch here, Hannity and Colmes and O'Rielly Factor consistently placed in the top 20 of cable shows...

This enabled Fox News to hammer on about how much of an audience they were attracting....

Meanwhile, the rest of the population split themselves between CNN, Headline News and the internet as a source of instant news.....

Fox also grew appreciably because they were not on all cable systems. Now that they are, we can see that they are not the phenomena that so many touted....

Now, with the Bush Administration in Disarray, and the GOP message coming under more scrutiny, maybe FOx NEws is settling down to the core audience of bigots, ass holes and true believers....

1. Fox is just another Pentagon outpost in the media
It doesn't really need to succeed as long as it's another source for fascist-biased news.
