Archie, I am sorry but WW is right. I never, ever said Fox dominates the nightly news and my original post stated unequivocally that it was "cable" news. My point as made stands, the eminently fair and balanced FoxNews dominates the cable news shows. It is inarguable.

But remember, cable and satellite only reaches about 70% of the homes in the country (i.e., of the 130 million homes that have access to cable and satellite only 2/3rds do so). So the networks have access to about 40 million more homes than cable. But more to the point, in 1980 around 60 million watched the network news and by last year it is down to less than 22 million and continues to drop each year while cable news goes up every year.
