Likewise, Fox News is the #1 cable network in America. The mainstream media liberal bias argument hasn't held water for a very long time now. If anything the tables have turned.

One network versus the rest? That they are the highest rated probably should be analyzed versus the whole market. Apple having the best selling computer model didn't mean that OS X was the best selling OS (far from it).

many others?

There's two, and no one actually watches MSNBC.

News Corp owns papers all across the US, and the left has basically ceded the entire AM radio spectrum to the right.

Fox News were anti-Trump for a long time, just like its liberal counterpart. I don't know if it is still now.
