MSNBC beat out Fox News last week in key ratings for first time in 17 years, topping its competitor in total viewers for the first time since 2000, according to a news release from MSNBC.

MSNBC averaged 1,558,000 total viewers during the "sales day" (6 a.m. to 2 a.m.) between Dec. 17-21, making it the top cable news network in the key 25-54 age demographic.

Fox News averaged 1,541,000 total viewers while CNN averaged 975,000.

In prime time (8 p.m. to 11 p.m.), MSNBC continued to lead Fox News and CNN in total viewers and among that key age group for the fourth week in a row.

Great news! This means right minded people have had enough of Faux News pretending to care about America. Their treachery and lies have caught up to them.We are switching to ONE AMERICA NEWS. OAN is what Faux used to pretend to be when it cared what we thought of them. They can die along with the NFL.

Fox’s death wish has been apparent for a couple years now. If Murdoch’s sons want to suicide the organization, let ‘em.

I stopped watching all TV news after the election. I get all my news on FR and I haven’t missed the invasion of my living room one bit!

I’ve been watching OANN for several months now. Just wish they’d get a real channel on CATV; watching their reposts
on YouTube is a joke.

Shep Smith did it for me. I understand they get swarmed with complaints when he goes on his rants against the President. Not a word from Fox in apology for their pet pervert and liar. They must care more about keeping him than their viewers or ratings.

FN has taken a decidedly left turn. Only Helen Keller wouldn’t notice that.

Too many liberal/socialists on Fox, acting as political pundits. Fox and Friends and The Five are unwatchable with a bunch of clowns

I tried to watch Fox and Friends awhile ago.

Big hype for three minutes about what is coming up.
Five minutes of the same commercials

Fox made a decision to start heading the way of Dick’s, and now their ratings are showing it.

Most will see this as the downfall of Fox and gloat about it. I see this as conservative viewpoints being eliminated (or banned) from the MSM.

Fox News is lost to the elite. Get over it.

They’re missing Kondrake and Kruthhammer. Intelligent but not always agreeable to us.

Charles Krauthammer won’t be down for breakfast.
