I did not include the tables, just the summary from TIME:
As you can see, every show in the top ten is from Fox News, as are 13 out of the top 15. In fact, only one of Fox News' fourteen programs is ranked below #15 in the ratings. That show is Red Eye, which airs from 3-4am - and it still pulls in more viewers than MSNBC's Morning Joe.
The personal battle between Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann is no contest. Even O'Reilly's repeat show at 11pm pulls in 52% more viewers than Olberman's prime time show.
The war among morning shows - though not as high profile as it is on the Big Three - is also a joke. If you combine the household audience numbers from CNN's American Morning and MSNBC's Morning Joe, they still fall 23% below the number of households tuning in to watch Fox and Friends.
Overall, Fox News generates nearly twice as many viewers each day as CNN and MSNBC put together. If this were in fact a war, the white flag would be running up the pole as we speak.
