Why watch any of it when you can watch Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart?
Where most Americans get their fake news.
Its funnier and ironically correct.

Actually, when they did a study, Fox viewers were the least informed of all.
The U of Maryland tested people, in the summer of 2003, to see how many believed the following idiotic falsehoods:
1) that evidence of links between Iraq and al Qaeda have been found
2) that weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, and
3) that world public opinion favored the US going to war with Iraq.
Viewers' main news sources, and % that correctly identified all three as bogus nonsense:
NPR/PBS - 77%
Print sources - 53%
CNN - 45%
NBC - 45%
ABC - 39%
CBS - 30%
Fox - 20%
That's right, only 1 in 5 Fox viewers had a fully-functioning brain when it comes to the war in Iraq. Less than 1/2 that of CNN, with NPR/PBS viewers almost four times more likely to be correctly informed. How sad.
More people watch "Who want to marry a millionaire" than many worthwhile and informative shows, so measuring viewers doesn't really say anything about accuracy or reliability of a news source. With things stinking in Iraq, Fox has shown, by far, the most Anna Nicole Smith, Brittney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan stories. Fox viewers dig that stuff.
Beyond that, there's not much to extrapolate from that. Popularity means profits, but not much else when it comes to measuring news.

So in your mind FOX is real news? Plheeese. Get a life and give us a break. Neither one of them is all news and neither is fair and unbiased. Each has its agenda and both are good at spreading their agenda. By consulting several sources for news one can generally get the truth. Sticking to only one source leaves one very biased and uninformed. No Faux news is not killing CNN any more than CNN is killing Faux news.

you think Fox News is real, true, and unbiased? Ha!
More people may watch Fox News but it's in order to laugh at the lunacy Fox News uses, in making every single story into a potential scandal.

Because the American audience watches what is most entertaining, not what is most informative.
