Fox News has jumped even further out in front of once dominant CNN, grabbing an astonishing 53 percent increase in viewership and drubbing the rival cable news network's 24 percent increase.
According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Nielson ratings show that Fox's viewership last year jumped from 667,00 to 1,023,000 while CNN scored a mere increase of 129,000 viewers, from 536,000 to 665,000.
MSNBC did even worse, getting a 22 percent increase, from 263,000 to 320,000.
Fox's increase in Prime Time viewership was even more dramatic, leaping by a staggering 45 percent as against CNN's 22 percent and MSNBC's 23 percent.
According to the Journal Constitution, Fox widened its lead over CNN averaging 1.02 million viewers at any given moment.
This is a 53 percent increase from the year before while CNN averaged 665,000 viewers, a 24 percent increase.
Critics may scoff at Fox's claim of being fair and balanced, but viewers seem to be voting with their remote controls.
