That's kind of where I was going, Jacqueline. However, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss their following.
Quick Google:
In 2004, Fox garnered 55% of the cable news audience. CNN claimed 32%.
I'd suggest that reflects general US population political feelings more than anything else. CNN has gone more global, and MSNBC/other cable outlets don't command nearly the same resources.

E.D. Hill lost her slot for the "terrorist jab" remark (which, by the way, was 'entertainment/commentary', NOT a news broadcast).
