Here is Newshounds logic (from their site):
 
"Because the smaller total number of Fox viewers are watching more hours, they show up in the ratings as a higher average number of viewers."

Sounds like another group of losers who said this:
 
"That's completely uncalled for, Burgundy. You know those rating systems are flawed. They don't take in account houses that have... uh... more than two television sets... and other things of that nature."

Economics
 
By the Project for Excellence in Journalism
 
The financial picture of cable news continued to show Fox News gaining ground on CNN, with MSNBC not performing as well as analysts had projected. Among the major trends of 2005:
 
* CNN remained cable news’s financial leader in profits, revenues and expenses, but Fox News continued to narrow the gap.
 
(snip) 
 
CNN spends a slightly larger share of its revenue, 65%, to cover expenses than does Fox News, at 60%. Thus not only was CNN’s percentage growth in revenue less than the growth for Fox, but it has a bigger cost structure to support — one of the biggest costs being its overseas bureaus, something that Fox News has kept to a minimum.
--------------------------------------
 
Interesting analysis. At the end of the day, CNN still earns more revenue... Fox making gains, though. 
 
Not sure what the overall shrinkage in cable news viewers overall since the report was created means to the equation, though.

Who cares about skewed analysis of advertisting revenue BG.
 
FNC Pwns CNN+MSNBC for almost every hour of every day. FNC pwns every hour of every day one on one with the liberal cable news channels.
 
FNC=top ratings no matter how you slice it.
 
Stop whining.

Americans are interested in Fox over CNN 2 to 1 over MSNBC 3/4 to 1. Regardless of a trend, which is usually tied to the political realities of the day, Fox will maintain this lead over both networks forver..why? Because most Americans have a Conservative bent.
