AP Touts 'Ominous Sign' of Ratings Dip for 'Troubled' Fox News, Even As It Wins the Week in All Cable TV

For much of the last year, the liberal “legacy media” has been looking for “ominous” signs of Fox News falling from its dominant position in the cable-news landscape. Now AP media reporter David Bauder has written a story with that message (as highlighted on the Drudge Report): “With President Donald Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey the week's big story, MSNBC had one of its best ratings weeks in memory — perhaps an ominous sign for troubled Fox News Channel.”
MSNBC topped Fox in the 25-to-54 demographic for the first time since the last week of 2008, during Obama’s transition to power. It’s odd that a few paragraphs later, Bauder was admitting Fox was still in first place...but narrowly!
