Over the past 5 months, the Fox News Channel seems to have gained some strength and momentum across the ratings board. Bill O' Reilly and Glenn Beck are leading the way with significant increases in their shows ratings. While CNN and MSNBC have seen a fall-off in their ratings and HLN has been gaining ground on their competition mainly due to the rising popularity of Nancy Grace. 

 Again, Fox News could easily claim that they're the KINGS of cable news and have their statement actually be based in reality. Plus, with 3 more years of an Obama Administration, I'm sure they will have plenty to say to get their viewers fired-up! However, based on how pathetic the competition's numbers are compared to Fox News, they should have no problem staying on top in the ratings for the foreseeable future.
