Largely and increasingly more-conservative news channels are running #1 and #2. Foundering CNN and MSLSD are far behind even though they have vastly larger subscription base.

The dirty little secret of CNN is that a lot of their ratings come from packages or commercial contracts (in which CNN often charges next-to-nothing because they want it seen in public), so eliminating those (from which little or no revenue is derived) and their ratings are even worse. Much worse.
