Rush Limbaugh Celebrates Fox’s Ratings Victory

Rush Limbaugh shared the big news with his radio audience today that during the Boston bombing coverage last week, Fox News ranked number one among all cable networks, not just its news competitors.

Becoming a media analyst for a few minutes, Mediaite reports Limbaugh remarked how “fascinating” it is that a network can reach number one with less than 3 million viewers in primetime predicted what the ratings mean for the future of cable news.

Limbaugh relished the fact that in such a big news week, CNN only reached third place and MSNBC “dropped off the radar” and ended up at nineteenth place. He insisted that this was a momentous shift in the cable landscape because “CNN used to be the go-to network when any disaster or major breaking news occurred.” But now that that doesn’t appear to be the case anymore, he declared that “left-wing liberal cable news networks are dying.”
