Why did FOX kick everyones ass in the ratings during the most covered news event in ten years?

Specifically, the FOX News Channel seems to be the network of choice, taking fourteen of the top fifteen slots in the latest cable ratings (week ending April 6).

Tuesday's edition of The Fox Report with Shepard Smith was the most-watched programme, managing 6.43 million viewers. Last week's chart topper The O'Reilly Factor had all five of its editions placed in the top ten, ranging from 6.16 million at number two to 5.41 million at number seven.

Hannity and Colmes managed entries at 8 and 12, whilst Fox and Friends Saturday placed at 9 and 15.

Maybe it's the fact that FOX did focus on the troops and didn't second guess every decision as CNN did. If 70% of US citizens support this war, I surmise that they chose to get the story from a source that didn't constantly question the war plan. FOX is forever getting sniped because they have pro-American coverage. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's jingoistic, but it is definitely pro-American. I believe that's why I watched. You felt that you were getting all the coverage without the blatant anti-war undertone that CNN as a whole, and Aaron Brown in particular, exuded every night. I also give kudos to Lester Holt on MSNBC. He just reported the events in a professional way that left Brian Williams in the dust.
