When the presidential horse race heated up dramatically in January, both MSNBC and CNN, which also touts its on-air army of political experts, chalked up near-record primetime increases. CNN soared by 42% in total viewers, and MSNBC rocketed by 37%. Fox News was up by only 9%, but it has nothing to worry about: At an average of 1.76 million viewers, it wound up with 35% more primetime viewers in January than second-place CNN (1.15 million). Further down in the pecking order wasMSNBC and its average of 744,000.

Less than 2 million. And nearly all republican, I'd wager. As the above quote indicates, they are big fish but shedding viewers in a changing polictical landscape. Which ties in to your link about the firing as Murdoch is no dummy.
