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.

Not surprising at all. Fox is unwatchable.

Fox decided to compete for the same audience instead of building on what they had.

You maybe haven’t watched Fox in the last year or two. It’s hard to tell the difference between them and msnbc.

The sad thing is those dopes will think they need to compete with MSNBC and go FURTHER left to try and attract MSNBC’s audience (which they won’t). Meanwhile, they’re blind to the fact that their viewership hasn’t switched to MSBNC - we’ve simply tuned out because if we wanted endless anti-Trump propaganda we’d have been watching one of the other stations to begin with.

The only show I seek out now on FNC is Hannity - and his program has been in repeat mode for the past year. Anytime he says “Tonight! Breaking news! Sara Carter and Gregg Jarrett will...” CLICK... because I know I’m going to hear the same thing for the 150th time.

MSNBC has always been liberal/gay on social issues. Now Fox is catching up — and at the same time, falling behind in the ratings.

If you add up the viewers of all the left leaning cable news channels they’ve been killing Fox for years.

Too many liberal/socialists on Fox, acting as political pundits. Fox and Friends and The Five are unwatchable with a bunch of clowns. For example, F%F just had a demonstration on how to make slime.

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

The new leadership at FOX has a mission!

Next stop - Third place behind CNN.

With Jessica Tarlov, Marie Harf-Wit and Shemp Smith leading the charge into oblivion how can they fail?

Fox continues their Liberalization of their news, and continues their slide into obscurity.

Rupert must be so proud of his two sons.
