No contest. Fox News continues to obliterate its competition in the Cable News Ratings

It's not a fair fight.  Again and again Fox News programming continues to completely dominate its competition in the Cable New Ratings war.  Fox consistently gets more viewers that all of its competition combined in some of its programming.  From 5AM until Midnight, every day Fox gets more viewers than any other cable tv news network.  With its "Fair and Balanced" approach to the news its no wonder Fox gets so many more viewers than the same old "State Run" diatribe.  The 11PM RERUN of the O'Reily Factor gets more viewers than ANY SHOW on CNN, MSNBC or Headline News.
