What people watch is – in my opinion – an indicator of their preferences … since folks tend to read & watch stuff that is consistent with their beliefs.
And, the numbers of people watching is a rough indicator of intensity – how many folks are on the wavelength.
So, let’s look at recent cable news ratings …
Fox primetime averages about 3.5 million viewers … MSNBC about 1.5 … and CNN under 750k.
Note that Stewart & Colbert get categorized as news shows (which still makes me scratch my head) … outdraws MSNBC and creams CNN.
Fox drawing more than double MSNBC has got to be good news for Romney … Comedy Central’s draw must be good news for Obama.
My prediction: Candi Crowley’s debate performance – interjecting herself into the Benghazi challenge, interrupting Mitt 26 times, giving Obama 9% more air time – will hurt her credibility as a newsperson and certainly won’t help CNN’s constant claim of being an unbiased source of news. That network’s slide will continue.
