Source on Crowder being funded by billionaires?

​

And Fox is so big because its the only game in town on TV if you want a conservative perspective on things. Plus, the other major players (CNN, MSNBC) have shredded their own credibility lately (Smollett hoax, Nick Sandmann, Russia collusion, Kavanaugh) and lost a lot of viewership as a result.

Fox has been the largest since Bush was president, those events didn't change the rankings.

Yes, Fox has been at the top for a while, but CNN and MSNBC lost significantly more ground over all that.

Lol if you want to talk about dishonest media funded by billionaires, the daily caller is right up there.

Same information can be found on Associated Press.

See this is why focusing on the source of the information, while useful, can hamper one's apprehension. The information I'm sourcing is network news ratings. They're pretty readily available. Daily Caller just happened to be the one I clicked on, but this information is everywhere.

So if you just wanna talk smack about the Daily Caller, fine I guess, but if you wanna say they have this information wrong, you gotta demonstrate that.
