Nielsen: Fox News ratings up almost 10% since WH declared war
Hot Air » Top Picks —
... — in terms of overall audience. Among the coveted 25-54 demographic? A 14-percent bump . Good work, Barry. People keep telling me that this PR offensive by the White House benefits both sides but I don’t see how that’s true. If the goal is to contain Fox by framing the stories it breaks — Van Jones, ACORN, etc — as somehow illegitimate and therefore anathema to other networks, then every tenth of a point that Fox’s ratings go up undermines that goal. There will come a point where other news nets will follow Fox’s lead simply for business reasons, ideology or no ideology; ...

Fox News Channel's Ratings Soar After White House Attack
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
If the Obama administration's attack on Fox News was designed to diminish the cable network's influence, the White House has failed miserably. In fact, since Anita Dunn's now infamous appearance on CNN's "Reliable Sources" when she claimed Fox isn't a real news network, the cabler has seen HUGE gains in overall viewing AND in the important demographic aged 25 to 54. So reported the Business Insider Wednesday (h/t Hot Air): Here's a chart comparing network ratings from the period 9/28/2009-10/11/09, which is when ...
Latest cable news ratings: Bad news for CNN, great news for Fox
Sister Toldjah —
CNN hits last place – yes, even behind the icky MSDNC.
And for Fox News? A major jump since the WH started attacking them (via Newsbusters):
Gee, do you think Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch love being The White House’s least-favorite news channel? Duh, of course they do.
Here’s a chart comparing network ratings from the period 9/28/2009-10/11/09, which is when Anita Dunn slammed the network, and the two weeks after that (”post feud”). ...
HECKUKA JOB, BARACK !
Dr. Sanity —
Obama's war on Fox has had a positive effect on the station's ratings: 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. Good work, Barry. Under the circumstances, I can't help thinking of Princess Leia's defiant words in Star Wars (to paraphrase): The more you tighten your grip, Obama, the more newstations will slip through your fingers... ...

... I wonder what this is more of a "Howard Stern Effect," (I tune in because I don't know what he's going to say next and I want to hear it.) or the media equivalent of "The Bad Boy Effect" (Daddy says I can't see him, so I'm going to love him harder.). Roger Ailes smiles all the way to the bank though. Share and Enjoy: ...
A successful Obama surge
GayPatriot —
... The ratings of FNC are up nearly 10 percent in the past two weeks. Among the 25-to-54-year-old demographic that advertisers love, it’s up 14 percent. Fox has the top 11 shows in that demographic, and the top 13 shows in all demographics. Glenn Beck, a particular bête noire of the Obama White House, is in the No. 2 slot, despite being on at 5:00 p.m. instead of in prime time. ...
White House Stuck On Stupid
QandO —
... more accurate. At least with its war on Fox News there was some calculated ability to garner sympathy and support from the fevered progressive masses. Taking on one of the most reputable reviewers of the car industry, when it’s giving you good news, is just plain idiotic:
It is an odd, and we’d say regrettable, pattern of this White House that it lets itself get dragged down into fights with specific media outlets.

But in addition to Fox News, now The White House is going after highly-respected ...
