MSNBC has directed viewers to take action and cancel Fox News from their cable packages. “If you pay for any basic cable package, you are helping fund everything that Fox News airs,” Dean Obeidallah wrote for the far left progressive media outlet.
“It’s time this ends. We must demand that cable operators grant us freedom from Fox News,” MSNBC said. Fox News earns revenue from cable packages, and because, as MSNBC notes, Fox “attracts the largest cable news audience,” that revenue is far greater than what MSNBC and CNN earn from those packages, in which they are also included as part of basic cable service.
MSNBC wants viewers of Fox News to be horrified that their viewership pays for the network that features programming that they watch, at far higher numbers that they consume MSNBC or CNN. Fox is able to command higher fees from cable companies because viewers want to watch it.
