keep this in perspective, FAUX for the ENTIRE 24 hour day, has about 16,000,000 people over the age of 2 (cumulatively) watching the network at any given time.

40,000,000 viewers (cumulatively). Maybe the same 4,000,000 people are tuned in at the same time for 6 hours, but the same 2,000,000 are tuned into FAUX for about 18 hours, and yet they call the shots.
And then think about which network is really more entertaining and better for your brain.
