Yeah right, living in your personal fantasy world, eh?
Latest cable-news ratings show big changes for Fox News
July 9, 2017
After several months of challenging longtime cable-news giant Fox News, the ratings for MSNBC and CNN have fallen, propelling Fox News to the top of the ratings chart in virtually every timeslot.
Right, you yourself quoted how they were STRUGGLING for months, an uptick doesn't change the trend.

Even during their "struggling" months their ratings in most timeslots were higher than CNN and MSNBC -- all while the liberals proclaimed the end for FOX.
Now the ratings in ALL timeslots are greatly higher than CNN and MSNBC -- I guess the liberals proclamation that this was the end for FOX is merely wishful thinking.
You just make stuff up like 'liberals proclaimed end for Fox' - which liberals? Name a few, provide links.
Where is this liberal proclamation? What's with the constant flurry of strawman arguments. Liberals this liberals that without any facts to back up the claims, just constant whining.
So are you going to admit that FOX ratings were never down considerably... at best they were slightly down. Which you and other liberal jumped all over as a huge victory for the left.
I will admit that when you get Blaze and Breitbart to retract/correct their reports about Fox ratings 'dive' or is Breitbart part of the liberal conspiracy when they reported that Fox News ratings dived?
Yeah... the proper headlines should be "FOX News comes out of transition with stronger ratings than ever".
You're up in arms about supposedly "fake news" being spread through a conservative news network when that's exactly what's been happening everyday in the MSM. You're networks have propagated to adnausium, countless "so called" news stories that were uncredentialed, anonymous in nature but reported to the public as fact.... It's ridiculous the effort and extremity the MSM has gone to discredit and smear Trump and anyone, anything they're against. It's blatant and people are getting fed up with it.
It's to the point where I can't even watch the evening news, local or national. Even when there's fact, the stories are slanted and reported with an ulterior motive or to sway opinion.
You're just trolling to pick a fight

It's about CREDIBILITY, news outlets like Wapo and NYT vet their stories, they retract it or correct them when they get it wrong. It's inevitable that they will make mistakes now and then but it's about the trend which is why they are trusted. Lot of those anonymous stories turned out to be true - which directly led to Flynn firing and appointment of Mueller. Trump is being smeared by the truth, if they didn't lie about their collusion then this would not have been the big story it has become.
You can't complain about 'slanted' in one breath and defend the outright propaganda by Sinclain the next, either you are against fake news or you are not, if you are picking sides then it's just your own political bias talking and nothing else.
