Breaking News: Fox News Hates Black People

Published on July 27, 2010 By dan_l In Blogging

Linky. Or uhhh....wait....errr Black People Hate Fox News.

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.

It's not really news, it's more amusing that somebody thinks it's news. "Whut? A station that favors pundits who make no secret of their distaste for brown and black folks doesn't have a whole lot of brown and black folks watching it! News!".

I mean come on--some dude tweeeted an amusing statistic. Has to be a conspiracy.
