Dude, I *KNOW* the numbers. You're (like all FOX jackwagons) looking at the part of the data that YOU want to make your point. Let's try looking at ALL of the data:

Notice there are NO CABLE NEWS programs? That's because while Fox News has high "news" ratings, they have the same 49 people watching them all day long. Their viewership is small, but passionate/loyal.

Furthermore, if you look at the data when BIG events go down (like say election nights, or on the day a large news story breaks) you find propaganda driven sources (Fox and MSNBC) are dwarfed by more centrist/objective outlets (broadcast and CNN).

SO, to say it again, if we had true a-la-carte pricing, I believe Fox's biz model (and MSNBC) gets nuked, because the 90% of us paying to subsidize your "star trek convention" of Fox fanboys would have serious business model problems.
