It wasn’t exactly a statistical domination or anything, as MSNBC’s 2.44 million average in primetime viewers squeaked past Fox News’ 2.4 million average, with CNN taking up the rear with an average of 1.6 million viewers.
The past week has been a particularly interesting one, though the interest isn’t such a positive one in Fox News’ case.
As the saying goes, though, the journey of a thousand miles begins with securing the primetime news demo.
Both the usual ratings king and CNN fell behind MSNBC in both total viewers and in key demo ratings during the 8-11 p.m. hours for the entire week of May 15-19, and that’s literally the first time that’s ever happened.
