Stewart's audience is minuscule when compared to the viewership Fox achieves in their prime time lineup. They smash everyone else in every single key demographic. The Comedy Channel, MSDNC, and CNN are in big trouble ratings wise. Their employees like Stewart, Chris, ("I got this thing running up my leg"), Matthews, and all of the other whacked out liberals know this fact well. It contributes to their lashing out at Fox, on what has come to be a continual basis.
Less than 20% of this country is described as "liberal". It seems larger simply because they make so much noise. Again, straight from Saul Alinsky's playbook. Bill T.
