I didn't understand this. I had never heard that Fox News was "the best" cable news provider, just the most right-leaning (in my opinion they are in the center and everyone else is left-leaning).

Is it pretty well established that Fox News is the king of cable news?
It pissed them off that O'Reilly Factor was killing the other networks in the ratings so they got Olberman to copycat the style and tone of O'Reillys show albeit they are on opposite ends of any debating point....but wala......they're getting some attention.

I rarely watch any of the cable networks anymore.
