A Different Look at Fox News Statistics

Fox News supporters, parroting Bill O’Reilly, love to tout their viewership statistics to provide some sort of credibility to the “news” they’re fed by Fox News Channel. Here is a different way of looking at the statistics:

U.S. Population: 307,649,352
World Population: 6,789,207,067
FNC Total Prime Time Viewers: 2,682,000
…that’s 0.87 percent of the U.S. population.
(population clock – 10/8/09 | cable news – 10/7/09)

Sure, FNC puts up some big numbers, but they don’t differentiate between those who agree with the channel and those who don’t. It is nice to know that over 99% of the population isn’t being spoon fed a load of bull every evening.
