Carlson's ratings are just more proof that his viewers are more interested in entertainment that getting at the truth on any subject.

Exactly. That's why CNN's rating should be through the roof. They are doing everything in their power to become respectable again. But, it won't work. The damage is done.

faux fudges the numbers and compares non related markets. faux also uses a particular audience when plying numbers. Maddows has mixed audiences with business, politics etc. fucker has just right wing audience only so he dominates the space.
Kind of like that. You can not compare faux spews audience to the larger world audiences. It's a cherry picking of people viewer count.

Faux also uses false viewer polls by manipulating the numbers. They put out a poll in some area somewhere and ask 1K of people do they watch fucker. When 100 say yes, they multiply that by the percentage of say 10m people and claim 1m watch fucker in that area. It's the same way with most polls, which is why I don't pay them any mind because it's all speculation and number manipulation. And the pollsters themselves say this is how they get totals.
