Fox is not hugely popular with the "American masses". Sponge Bob Square Pants and pro wrestling have far more viewers. And the numbers are skewed because people who watch Fox news have a habit of leaving it on non-stop. That pumps up their raw numbers, but they have fewer unique viewers than other cable news stations. Nor has Air America vanished.
