First time since 2001, CNN beats Fox.

As much as I dislike CNN for its really pathetically bad quality journalism much of the time, and its insistence on eye-candy over brains and talent in its newsreaders and presenters, I would still rather have mediocre over pure propagandistic evil.

In the first quarter of 2008:

CNN - viewers 25-54 (because young people and old people apparently don't count!):
up 90%

MSNBC - up 68%

FOX News - up 12%

Among total viewers, apparently, Fox is still ahead:
Fox up 14%
CNN up 68%
MSNBC up 59%.
