CNN BEATS Fox News! Now #1 in Cable News After 16 Years!

Hey Fox great business plan you have where 90% of your shows and talent go all in for a candidate who has scared away your viewers, as he has republican voters! CNN maybe be left but at least we know where they’re coming from and their talent doesn’t hide their bias. They also seem to be interested in reporting the news  of the day vs how to twist every story to make it about Trump!

I’m sure the 8 and 10 pm’rs will be making their excuses…

Hope whatever deal Ailes and Murdoch made with Trump is worth it!
