About Fox News: Contrary to popular belief, Fox’s audience is far from ideologically homogeneous. A Morning Consult survey found that more independents watch Fox News than any other network. And according to Nielsen MRI Fusion data, Fox and CNN have a near-identical share of the liberal audience for cable TV news. Last year, for the sixth year in a row, Fox was rated #1 in all of cable news, averaging 1.3 million total day viewers in 2021, compared to CNN at 787,000 and MSNBC at 919,000.
