Fox Cable News Ratings Rise

Hat tip to the great folks at Hot Air — they have analyzed and posted the cable news ratings.  The results show that the White House fight against Fox Cable News has been a ratings bonanza for Fox.

It’s a nine-percent bump in the two weeks since Anita Dunn’s whine heard ’round the world — in terms of overall audience. Among the coveted 25-54 demographic? A 14-percent bump….

There will come a point where other news nets will follow Fox’s lead simply for business reasons, ideology or no ideology; follow the link, eyeball the list of top 20 news shows, and ask yourself how far we are from that point, really. To put it in perspective: “Red Eye,” at 3 a.m., is beating Campbell Brown at 8 p.m. on CNN in the demo. (Worse, perhaps: Anderson Cooper is getting beat by … re-runs of Nancy Grace.)

…..Glenn Beck is number two in cable news — at 5 p.m. How long before Ailes moves him to primetime?
