http://freakoutnation.com/2012/12/30/fox-news-host-sean-hannity-has-lost-half-of-his-viewers-since-the-election-rachel-maddow-still-ahead/ Ouch!
I know you're not the brightest one out there, but Hannity still has 50% more of an audience than Maddow. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/12/31/cable-news-ratings-for-friday-december-28-2012/163329/ I don't watch any of that garbage, though.
Your own link even shows that Hannity has 500k more viewers than Maddow. LOL What a buffoonish thread.
Mick's link covers half a month... ...so PapaG resorts to an infantile insult and finds one day to the contrary.
However, this article is from a reputable source: http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/12/fox-news-ratings-down-but-not-disastrous-153051.html But the drop for both Hannity and O'Reilly merely brings them back to the ratings they had prior to the Republican National Convention, with Hannity drawing around two million viewers a night while O'Reilly draws roughly 3 million. Yes, that's far from ideal: MSNBC, the liberal cable news network, has been far more successful at retaining viewers since the election, especially in the coveted 25-54 demo. But until Hannity starts averaging under 1.5 million viewers a week, it's not fair to call him "one of the big losers in the 2012 election," as Kaplan does. Ditto for O'Reilly at 2.5 million.
http://www.buzzfeed.com/dorsey/msnbcs-post-election-ratings-should-make-fox-news MSNBC's back-to-back prime-time opinion shows, The Rachel Maddow Show and The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, topped both Fox News and CNN for the coveted 25–54 demographic during the week of Dec. 3. That gives Phil Griffin's network the number one ranking in the demo for four of the first five weeks since the presidential election. Adding to the impressive numbers is the fact that the MSNBC shows outperformed their Fox counterparts despite having guest hosts fill in for Maddow Dec. 5 through Dec. 7.
Yet I gave a link that goes through 12/28, and in it FauxNews beats MSNBC in all categories and demographics.
I don't think that 3 days worth of ratings that are quite different from the past 7 years' worth, and those 3 days are from about a month ago no less, indicate a trend. It's interesting. I watch Maddow's show, not Hannity's (ever). Hannity is annoying as all get out. Maddow is hilarious in her wrongheadedness.
Is there a site with a graph, graphing each date since the election on the X axis, and ratings on the Y axis. And with the Maddow line blue and Hannity in red. I don't ask for much.
Maybe his fans gave up on him being waterboarded. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/22/hannity-offers-to-be-wate_n_190354.html Note the date.
Here's an article which explains it in different words. http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2012/12/31/bad-news-at-fox-news-hannitys-ratings-plummet/
