I looked at Drudge's report of the "Cable News Race" (see below) and thought to myself: who watches ANY of this crap? (With apologies to Colbert, Stewart, and Scarborough.) Personally, I AVOID news via television excepting Bloomberg which I watch online. TV news, for the most part, is a joke and waste of time. But I guess if you're old or confined to a wheelchair, hospital bed, or prison dormitory, it is something "to do."
