FAUX NEWS VERSUS THE BIG THREE

We've heard and read for years about 

1) how the mainstream media is chock-full of liberal bias

2) The U.S. is a center-right nation

3) Conservative outnumber liberals 2 to 1

One test of this is the ratings for the Sunday morning news shows and they indicate that FAUX News really isn't fooling that many people. Here are the ratings for Sept. 19, 2010:

Network	Program	Total Viewers	A25-54
NBC	“Meet the Press”	3.29M	988K
CBS	“Face the Nation”	2.49M	854K
ABC	“This Week”	2.20M	608K
FOX	“Fox News Sunday”	1.11M	412K

This ranking has been pretty stable; here are the numbers for January 31, 2010:

Network	Program	Total Viewers	A25-54
NBC	“Meet the Press”	3.89M	1.18M
ABC	“This Week”	3.07M	930K
CBS	“Face the Nation”	2.89M	780K
