While working on his article published yesterday in the New York Times highlighting the right-wing media’s “misleading coverage,” reporter Brian Stelter did some background research into cable news viewership demographics. While he didn’t include the findings in his story, he found them notable enough to publish on Twitter. The Huffington Post summarizes the results:
The New York Times’ Brian Stelter tweeted that, according to Nielsen Media Research, Fox News has averaged just 29,000 black viewers in primetime so far this television season (9/09-7/10). That represents just 1.38% of its 2.102 million total viewer audience. CNN and MSNBC, meanwhile, both have far more black viewers, both in absolute terms and as a proportion of their overall audiences. Fox’s coverage of race hasn’t done anything to attract an African-American audience. Their “long history of aggressive race-baiting and racially charged commentary” has perhaps alienated many of their viewers. As Stelter reported in his article, “The National Association of Black Journalists has faulted Fox for years for inaccurately portraying blacks.” The group recently condemned the channel for their “lack of due diligence” on the Shirley Sherrod story. The group’s criticism came on the heels of Fox News contributor slamming Fox host Megyn Kelly being slammed on air for “doing the ’scary black man thing’” with her coverage of the New Black Panthers Party faux scandal. – Charlie Eisenhood http://thinkprogress.org/2010/07/27/fox-viewers-african-american/ in the interest of BALANCE, I am going to look up the numbers for MSNBC and CNN as well and I will edit this when I do,,,unless someone else wants to thanx |

Irresponsible journalism that has a racist/homophobic undertone would and should turn off any non white person or non racist white person in this country unless they have an issue of some kind.
Fox news channel is a joke in the news department but great in the study of existing semi accepted social ills in this country. |

Oh, Come on!!
Fox News is Fair and Balanced and you know it!! 
But seriously, in today's age we have news that is streamlined for specific people. If you like Fox News and are a Republican, then everyday is Valentine's day, and the same is true for MSNBC and Democrats. There aren't that many black republicans, so it stands to reason they wouldn't watch. And for the most part even black people who aren't politically inclined, are still very supportive of Obama simply because of what he represents to their children and grandchildren. So of course they wouldn't watch a channel that makes its dollars denigrating the man. They once called a fist bump between the President and the First Lady, "a terrorist fist bump", for crying out loud... |

I agree there isnt technically a msm for blacks because blacks are not in the MAINSTREAM ,, as a minority but I disagree that there isnt news for the mainstream of black americans,,, there are resources which attempt to focus on those issues affecting and occuring in minority communities,,, |

The best thing about Fox News is that it gives John Stewart and the Daily Show (as well as Stephen Colbert and the Colbert Report) ammuntion for some fantastic jokes.

Any news thats specifically aimed at blacks or any "race" of people, is racist.

Fox news and the Tea party are fighting for EVERYONE.They are fighting for America.CNN and all your other liberal idiots are only looking out for their cause,their audience,and their agenda.That is why they are losing ratings.Only a small majority feel like they are speaking to them. |

across the board, what passes for journalism today is nothing more than speculation, opinion and propaganda...its sad and scary how the media has been dominated by special interest groups to mold and control public opinion for decades now...
big brother isnt just watching, hes telling you what to think and most people buy it lock, stock and barrel... |

What happens when you streamline the media to cater to certain people?? Complete Self-righteousness on both ends of the political spectrum. When you watch fox news all day, as a Republican, you never have to face the concept that you might be wrong. The Tea Party isn't fighting for everyone anymore than anti-war protestors are fighting for everyone. I personally couldn't care any less about expanded government, or taxes, that's what the tea party cares about. Clinton raised taxes and did more to expand the government than any president in recent history and created millions of jobs in the process, not to mention a roaring economy. "The reason Fox news and the Tea party are making huge gains with the American people..." But I am glad you acknowledged that Fox news and the tea party are one in the same. |

Any news thats specifically aimed at blacks or any "race" of people, is racist. really, so what is news aimed at one political party, or one nationality, or one gender,,,,,, no news can cover EVERYTHING, and when other sources arent covering something I dont feel it racist for someone else to fill in the gaps... |
