FOX VIEWERS - A BALANCED GROUP

The Pew Research Center reports that the viewers of Fox consist of:
39% Republican; 33% democratic; and 22% independent.

Daily ‘viewership’ of the cable news networks is described by Nielson as:
2.1 million Fox; 699,000 msnbc; 664,000 cnn; and 513,000 cnn headline news.

Arithmetic tells us that 55% of 2.1 million daily viewers of Fox are either democrats or independents.

b.o. is thus attacking a news organization that seriously interests two groups which are presumably important to the b.o. administration.

One has to wonder at a presidential policy which consists of attacking as ‘unreal news’ a network watched by so many democrat political allies, a ‘viewership’ which has risen by at least 9% since such attacks began.

Interesting! One would think the president's people would be aware of those stats.

Perhaps the operative word for those in charge has become control, even as near as they can come to total control.

Consider also that since this administration is likely aware of the actual stats, and no doubt fears them, that their best strategy is to discredit the organization any way they can and try to break away those viewers.

Remember the ethos of the liberal: Don't even try to fight on the basis of truth and fact, instead, discredit and malign the source.
