Fox News was the No. 1 basic cable network in total day viewing for the week of Oct. 8, which now marks 40 straight weeks at the top of the charts, per Nielsen live-plus-same-day data.
Fox News’ dominance over cable news continued this past week. In prime time, FNC beat CNN and MSNBC combined in total viewers among total viewers for the second consecutive week, in addition to beating CNN and MSNBC combined in total day yet again.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he won't accept the blame if Republicans lose the House in November.
Trump said he believes he is "helping" Republican candidates as he campaigns ahead of crucial midterm elections next month. With Republicans facing headwinds, Trump said he thinks the GOP is "going to do well," arguing that "it feels to me very much like" 2016.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, Trump also accused his longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen of "lying" under oath, defended his use of the derisive nickname "Horseface" for porn actress Stormy Daniels and argued that the widespread condemnation of the Saudis in the disappearance of a Washington Post columnist was a rush to judgment.
Of his efforts on the campaign trail, Trump said: "I don't believe anybody has ever had this kind of impact." He resisted comparisons to President Barack Obama, who took responsibility for the Democrats' defeat in 2010 by acknowledging that his party got "shellacked."
Democrats are hopeful about their chances to recapture the House, while Republicans are increasingly confident they can hold the Senate. If Democrats take the House and pursue impeachment or investigations — including seeking his long-hidden tax returns— Trump claimed he will "handle it very well."
Trump also declared that Cohen's testimony was "totally false" in his August plea deal to campaign finance violations alleging he coordinated with Trump on a hush-money scheme to buy the silence of Daniels and a Playboy model who alleged affairs. But in entering the deal with Cohen, prosecutors signaled that they accepted his recitation of facts and account of what occurred.
He derided Cohen, who worked for Trump for a decade, as "a PR person who did small legal work," and said it was "very sad" that Cohen had struck a deal to "achieve a lighter sentence."
And Trump did not back down from derisively nicknaming Daniels "Horseface" in a tweet hours earlier.
Asked by the AP if it was appropriate to insult a woman's appearance, Trump responded, "You can take it any way you want."

just like a conservative. its always someone else's fault.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
1. Despite many times being explained to you how yahoo typically works, you once again make a typical trump supporter post, ignoring the facts stated to you, and act like yahoo isn’t credible.
2. As it relates to point 1, the story is written by AP, not yahoo, which you would’ve known if you clicked on the link.
3. I was actually thinking about what Vers said about trying to be civil, but just like this recent example, it’s hard to be civil with people who refuse to accept even the most basic facts, and act offended when someone points it out to them.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
These viewership numbers say a lot. It means that there are enthusiastic people who seek out watching Fox. The other channels are struggling big time and there is nothing they can do about it. Well there is, but they won't be a credible professional news organization.
It also warms my heart that Stormy Daniels, sleazeball Michael Avenatti, and democrats who donated to her are paying Trump right now, literally.
In addition, why are we talking about Yahoo in this thread. The subject is about news channel viewership numbers.
I think the last time this sort of thing got posted, one of the liberals on the forum had a good point (I think it was a liberal, I don't remember who, sorry)
The liberal masses split their viewership between many TV news sources.

All the major networks lean liberal. They all have nightly News shows, daytime soft news.
They all have Breaking News news breaks whenever anything happens. Especially politics. Liberal viewers don't need to flip channels. Conservative viewers do need to flip to Fox.

Network news is offered by over-the-air broadcast channels like ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, etc. These channels are available free of charge via antenna (you receive broadcasts from a local affiliate station). The news broadcasts are typically only available at a select number of time-slots throughout the day (e.g. 6 PM and 11 PM).
Cable News stations are pay TV channels (accessed through Cable or Satellite TV service subscriptions). This includes CNN, Fox News (not to be confused with the broadcast network FOX), and MSNBC (not to be confused with the broadcast network NBC), to name a few. These channels offer news and related (e.g. documentary, debate, etc.) programming 24 hours a day.
Of course it's popular! It's like an adult babysitter in box for the delusional babies following the baby in the white house.
Is this an example of you taking the higher road?
Yes it is. Being called a baby is Trump's kryptonite. Thereby it is Trumpian kryptonite, and I'm will to try anything to break through to these people and get them to regain their good senses.
And don't forget that a large percentage of liberals get their news online via streaming. Nielsen doesn't track that as far as I am aware. I used to be a Nielsen home.
All TV news sucks arse. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Wow.
You still have 17:53 on the dais. I've never seen this before. Do you yield the balance of your time to another presenter , like on the floor of Congress?
Proving once more that anyone in the middle have nothing to watch. You used to be able to watch a little of both and makeup your own mind……not it’s either complete and utter Trump derangement or it’s just a constant defend and deflect session for any and all ridiculous things Trump does.
not it’s either complete and utter Trump derangement
He's a senile geriatric who fails to understand even the most basic of concepts explained to him, and forgets what he said or was told thirty seconds afterward.
What level of criticism or concern falls below this mythical "derangement" threshold?
Like, if you had to bet your life on whether or not he could answer the question "what is health insurance and how does it work?", how comfortable would you feel on a scale of 1-10? And what does that tell you?
