Most of the other segment of our population have diff. choices for their news which is split between the other networks for ratings and also don't forget Jon Stewart. Many young people actually get their news from his show. And then their is the Internet where many progressives choose that as their news source. So Fox News shouldn't get all "high and mighty" about thier ratings when it is mostly "trailor trash" that watch that network. Most advertisers like broader demographics and from a political stand point you reach a more diverse population. That is why many consider demographics more important than actual people watching.John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02789098991284599504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-52129159424336602392010-02-19T07:31:20.818-05:002010-02-19T07:31:20.818-05:00Tony Harris and Josh Levs did an amazing
