So eyeballs become the defining factor? Strange. I don't care what news program I have on (CNN, MSNBC, C-SPAN, the Sunday talk shows), I'm never plunked in front of the screen. I'm much more into actually listening to what they're saying. Unless of course it's some sort of show and tell.
Yes. Viewership for TV (or listenership in the case of radio and readership/subscribers in the case of print) is one of the key metrics for media success. It is the basis for setting advertising rates - or cable licensing fees.
It's not surprising that the former Elite Media are anti-Capitalist. They haven't found a way to adapt to technological innovations which are affecting their business models; nor have they updated their programming to respond to the democratization of information exchange. They are locked into the Top Down Messaging of the Old Oligarchy.
How's that Fox business channel working out?
Well then where does Foxnews rate in primetime OVERALL? Vs. everything on tv, including the networks?
___CNN does not play it down the middle - it has been a left leaning machine since its inception - not as bad as MSNBC, but certainly a clear liberal bias.
With the advent of the Internet age, and cable news competition, this fact became more easily available to consumers, who have left its viewership in droves.
Fox leans conservative, and its ratings reflect the fact that so too does the majority of America.
Fox rules - like or dislike it, that is the fact...
Of course it probably wouldn't occur to you that CNN is more left-leaning because the left is usually right.
Only if you wanted to be laughed out of the room.So it would now fair to say that in sum total cable news is now net conservative biased?

If Foxnews is supposedly getting more viewers than MSNBC and CNN combined then most people who get their news from a cablenews channel are getting it from a conservative biased channel, thus cablenews is net conservative.

Are you asking how Fox News ranks against American Idol and Dancing With The Stars?
The valid comparisons are among cable news networks:

No, the viewership has expressed a preference for Fox News Content - but there is more Net Liberal programming available overall from the other channels.
The Media is not the Audience.
The Media is on average leftwing biased. The fact that viewers prefer Fox over the liberal competition doesn't mean their is less of that competition.

That is not the point.
Boedicca is quite correct in stating there is a liberal bias in the media. The popularity of Fox is due in part, to American's growing realization of this, and desire to hear/experience a more conservative bias - of which the majority of Americans subscribe to.
We remain a right of center nation...

Sure. That's why have a liberal president, a Democratic house, a Democratic Senate.

My satellite tv has more movie channels, more shopping channels, and more sports channels than it does news channels.
That by your logic would make the media movie, shopping, and sports biased.

No, it just means you watch far too much TV...

Why is that relevant?
It's the accurate response to the question. We are discussing the nature of the TV News Media. The ratio of Left-leaning tv stations outweighs the right leaning one.
If you wish to discuss whether or not news consumers lean left or right, that is a different topic. More Americans self-identify as conservative than liberal. The ratios are roughly 40% conservative, 40% independent, and 20% liberal (Gallup study).
Conservatives Maintain Edge as Top Ideological Group
