Each cable system is different, but it is normally bunched with other news stations..Fox is one click away from CNN..

Surely there are more seniors 15 years after the census you used...Which formula did you use?Why are FOX news ratings so high?
It's on in every retirement home...
REALLY!!
There are over 40 million seniors and that was back in 2010 and 2.5 million Fox viewers.
Does not compute.
The 2010 census and Nielsen
Indeed.
Why do you think Fox employs hot chicks and short dresses ... #1 with horny old RW farts lookin' for some leg.
then you have to use which mathematical algorythem to see if your statement is true?Surely there are more seniors 15 years after the census you used...Which formula did you use?REALLY!!

Which is why I said there are over 40 million and gave the year.
It's your statement that wasn't true.
Fox has high ratings because people watch. People watch because on Fox both sides are given time to make their case.
the problem that dems and libs have with Fox is that when both sides are given equal time, the dems and libs always lose. They lose because their rhetoric is not based on logic and fact, it is based on emotion and feelings, not reality.

Why are ratings so important? Does a high rating mean high quality journalism? Does popularity indicate quality in all things? If that were so, we could then conclude that the music of Lady Gaga is of higher quality than the music of Mozart based on record sales.
WELL, Well stated......
high ratings signify the best station upon which to place a pizza advertisement
And prepper supplies.

Yea and ignorant liberals go to the streets, protest while not going to the voting booth as we seen in 2014Reading some of the other threads on here, the issue that FOX news dominates the ratings wars often comes up.......A recent survey finds that right wingers, in general, do NOT trust any other news source BUT Fox.
On the surface, right wingers will "conclude" that since Fox ranks so high, it must be "good" and "trustworthy.".................But is this really the conclusion that should be readily accepted?
Now, I'm sure that right wingers on here will quickly respond that any criticism of Fox's high ratings is based on envy...or liberal spin and biases.
However, for the more open-minded fellow posters, a simple explanation may make sense.
Let's say that the entire rating system was comprised of 10 people; 4 of whom are conservatives and the other 6 span the political spectrum from liberal to independent.....
Now, the 4 conservative faithfully and unwaveringly watch Fox giving that cable network 40% ratings......while the other six watch...CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Al-Jazeera-America, Russia-Today, ABC and several other Internet-based news sources (especially for the younger generation).......
It should not be too difficult to then conclude that no other competitor to Fox would even remotely come close to that network's 40% rating.
Yet, the question remains: Is this dominance by Fox in the ratings' war a good or bad thing for the conservative movement, ideology and growth ?
Since Fox has gained prominence, Repubs have lost the popular vote in 5 out of the last 6 presidential elections. I think it's an echo chamber that blinds them to any idea other than what Fox suggests.

Face it, the Libs are just upset that so many people reject Liberal talking points masquerading as news. That's why the Libs always try to scream "Fox isn't a source". But ask the Libs to point out examples of inaccurate reporting by Fox (with links) and the Libs suddenly disappear.
Well, not really true.......
Pundifact found Fox News to have only told the truth 18 percent (15 of 83) of the time for the statements they checked. And even of that 18 percent, only 8 percent of what they said was completely “True.” The other 10 percent was rated as “Mostly True.”
A staggering 60 percent (50 of 83) comments were found to be either “Mostly False,” “False,” or “Pants on Fire.”
The other 22 percent were rated “Half True.”
Essentially well over half of what Punditfact has fact-checked on Fox News has been a lie and only 18 percent has been deemed factual.

OLD die hard RW'sFox make Fox #1 ...
News's viewership is aging out of that key demographic, even as the overall median age of cable news viewers remains high: the median ages for the three cable networks in May were 62.5 (MSNBC), 62.8 (CNN), and 68.8 (Fox News). ...

The Fox News audience skews more ideological than that of its two main competitors. Fully, 60% of Fox News viewers describe themselves as conservative, compared with 23% who say they are moderate and 10% who are liberal, according to a 2012 survey by the Pew Research Center.
By contrast, the ideological makeup of CNN viewers (32% conservative, 30% moderate, 30% liberal) and MSNBC viewers (32% conservative, 23% moderate, 36% liberal) is far more mixed.

A better question...why are MSNBC's ratings so low?
That's easy, they pander to loons like the OP and supply them with BS talking points. Nobody with an IQ if room temp buys into that BS

Did you know that 99% of statistics you find on the internet are true.

Gee, polls are nice, but they don't explain why so many people watch Fox news.
Now back up your position. Post instances where Fox News has lied (and not issued a retraction for honest mistakes) WITH LINKS.
I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.
