Fox News Audience Just 1.38% Black

Fox News may be the undisputed ratings champion in cable news, but not
among black viewers.

The New York Times' Brian Stelter tweeted that, according to Nielsen
Media
Research, Fox News has averaged just 29,000 black viewers in primetime
so
far this television season (9/09-7/10). That represents just 1.38% of
its
2.102 million total viewer audience.

CNN and MSNBC, meanwhile, both have far more black viewers, both in
absolute terms and as a proportion of their overall audiences.

MSNBC has averaged 145,000 black viewers, representing 19.3% of its
751,000 total viewer audience.

CNN has averaged 134,000 black viewers, representing 20.7% of its
648,000
total viewer audience.

Stelter noted that he pulled the Nielsen numbers after working on his
story in Monday's New York Times on race and cable news.

His piece, "When Race Is the Issue, Misleading Coverage Sets Off an
Uproar," examines the recent media firestorm over comments made by
USDA
official Shirley Sherrod as an example of "warfare" waged by
conservative
media.

Gosh...what a surprise...Faux News is for white boys...mostly. You'd
never
know that by watching it, eh?

What's your plan to change this?




Suggest that Fox change its network name to "Scared White Boys Network"
One of your more brilliant plans.


Just suggesting Fox acknowledge "what is," as it were.



What color are you?



I'm one of those lucky olive complexioned folks...

My skin color is about the same as Gisele's...

After my ancestors left Africa a zillion years ago, they and their
descendants did a walkabout on the European continent, and a good number
of them took up residence in the Mediterranean area.

So says my genetic background check, per the National Geographic swab
sample analysis.

I tan up nicely!
