Fox News Channel elected to not air Thursday’s January 6 hearing live last night, which took place in primetime from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET. While the cable news network topped CNN’s carriage of the congressional committee’s hearing in total viewers, it did not come close to MSNBC’s massive tally.

MSNBC averaged a whopping (for them) 4.161 million total viewers, trouncing both Fox News (2.957 million total viewers) by 29 percent and CNN (2.617 total million viewers) by 37 percent. CNN finished way ahead of its direct cable news competition in the key demographic for news programming, adults 25-54, with 709,000 viewers from that age range vs. 555,000 on MSNBC and 513,000 on Fox. That’s a 22 percent advantage over MSNBC and 28 percent win over Fox News.

1. Gives new meaning to "fair and balanced", and "we report you decide"

2. Chris Hayes on MSNBC just did a story on this.

Fux did a lot to avoid showing their involvement as well as going for 2 hours without commercials. Obviously hiding the truth and their guilt as accomplices.

3. Bad television is bad business.

The Faux dopes have gotten so entwined in the conspiracy, they've forgotten the fundamentals of their own business. In the long run, hate and ignorance does not sell.

5. Short term gain for them, but long run ruin.

6. Sadly, I disagree.

Hate and ignorance have sold for decades and there's little sign that that will change. Rush Limbaugh made an entire career out of it, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. It made Murdoch a billionaire and made many, many others very wealthy.

If it didn't work, they wouldn't be doing it, and it wouldn't have lasted this long. As long as 40% of the public lives in blind ignorance, there will be an audience for it.
