Fox News Ratings Plunge

Fox drops 13%—but still has top 13 programs in cable news

(NEWSER) - Fox News is still leading the cable news ratings race—but for how long? Fox's overall ratings for November dropped 13% compared to the same month last year, reports Mediabistro . For the juicy 25-to-54-year-old bracket, the fall was even steeper, plunging 30% in prime time. CNN, on the other hand, was up 4% over last year, with Anderson Cooper's AC 360 up a big 40%. Regardless of those trends, however, Fox News still accounts for the top 13 cable news shows, led by The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity. The top-rated non-Fox program is The Rachel Maddow Show.

Ailes 'Feared Bombing' by Gays

Rolling Stone profile paints Fox News boss as paranoid propagandist

(NEWSER) - Roger Ailes has made huge profits by selling fear, but he has a few fears of his own, Rolling Stone finds in a detailed—and deeply unflattering—profile of the Fox News chairman. Ailes, whose resumé includes repackaging Richard Nixon for TV in 1968 and helping derail health care reform on behalf of Big Tobacco in 1993, insisted on having bombproof glass installed in his office after Rupert Murdoch hired him to create the Fox News Channel. The precautions were apparently intended to protect him from a bomb attack by activists. "They’ll be down there protesting," he told an aide. "Those gays." More»

Roger Ailes Clashed With Palin Over 'Blood Libel' Attack

Her refusal to heed Fox boss triggered rift

(NEWSER) - Fox News president Roger Ailes warned Sarah Palin not to launch her controversial "blood libel" defense of herself in the wake of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' shooting. Palin's refusal to take his advice created a major rift in their important relationship, reports New York magazine. “Lie low,” Ailes told Palin in phone call when she informed him of her plan. “There’s no need to inject yourself into the story.” “The Tucson thing was horrible,” said a source close to Ailes. "Before she responded, she was making herself look like a victim. She was winning. She went out and did the blood libel thing, and Roger is thinking, 'Why did you call me for advice?'” More»

Ban Glenn Beck From Ground Zero

Fox host said in 2005 he 'hated' 9/11 families

(NEWSER) - The argument against the Park51 project—the so-called Ground Zero mosque—hinges on the idea that an Islamic symbol near the site of the 9/11 attacks is offensive to the families of the victims. One of the loudest voices opposing the project has been Glenn Beck, writes Cenk Uygur for the Huffington Post , but the Fox talking head has also been tremendously offensive to the victims' families.
