Fox Dominates (Again), Takes Top 11 Cable News Slots in February
By Lachlan Markay | March 01, 2011 | 19:07

The Fox News Channel absolutely dominated its cable news competition in February. In terms of overall viewers, the top 11 cable news shows were all on Fox. In the coveted 25-54 demographic - the group that advertisers pay particularly close attention to - Fox took 11 of the top 15 spots.

The Rachel Maddow Show earned the top spot for an MSNBC program. Despite her struggles with factual accuracy of late, it seems Maddow has assumed the role of leading prime time anchor left vacant by Keith Olbermann's departure.

CNN's AC360 led that channel, beating out Maddow in the demo with 304,000 viewers, but trailing MSNBC and Fox leaders in total viewership.

TVNewser provided this pair of handy charts for our reference. The first is total audience and second is demo viewership.

Regulators Reject Proposal That Would Bring Fox-Style News to Canada

QUOTE
Canada's Radio Act requires that "a licenser may not broadcast...any false or misleading news." The provision has kept Fox News and right wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the "Fairness Doctrine" in 1987.

We have freedom of speech, too bad we can't be given the truth...We have laws against plagiarism, but not lies... We as a country are poorer because of it.. Canada has legislators who aren't afraid to protect the average person.... :p ...ned

In August 1987, the FCC abolished the doctrine by an Executive Order from Ronald Reagan opening the air waves to Fox style snake-oil journalism...

Why is it that every one gets up in arms over Fox?  I just don't get it.
Fox is as far right as MSNBC is left and no one get there undies in a bunch over MSNBC.
Personally, I watch both and usually find my opinion shaped somewhere in the middle.
Seems pointless to argue about TV shows when you get your news from 3000 channels or 1.2million websites.
I mean, don't we really have bigger problems in this country than what channels are on the air?
