Ratings during Tuesdays election were HUGE for Fox. The American people know the other nets are all left wing, so they ignored them. Seven million viewers is huge...over four times higher than second place CNN...of course leftists want Fox silenced.
FOX's big win: Election-night ratings
Nearly 7 million viewers were watching when FOX made its call in the Massachusetts special election. And for FOX's Sean Hannity, whose show was on when the networks's Bret Baier announced the news, it was his biggest audience ever.
In prime-time Tuesday, Nielsen Media Resarch shows, FOX pulled 6.16 million viewers, including 1.9 million in the 25-54 age cohort. Among cable news outlets, CNN followed, with 1.5 million total viewers, 483,000 in the advertising sweet spot, MSNBC had 1.14 million viewers, 387,000 35-54 and HLN had 668,000 viewers.
"Yes, I said FOX News, without irony. To be sure, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity made it clear they were rooting for Brown. But their shows also included a steady parade of liberal-leaning guests -- former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown, former Dukakis campaign manager Susan Estrich, Democratic party strategist Mary Anne Marsh, NPR commentator Juan Williams and radio host Alan Colmes.''
