For cable news, watching news presented by your favorite news personality is big business for networks like CNN, MSNBC and news leader Fox News Channel. Usually presented during prime-time slots, opinionated news programs like Bill O’Reilly’s The O’Reilly Factor, Sean Hannity’s show, the appropriately named Hannity along with Glenn Beck’s show have made the network the go-to place for right-leaning views. MSNBC, traditionally the least-viewed news network on cable, has bolstered their ratings thanks to a prime-time lineup of left-leaning pundits like Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. The network is even beating the pioneer in 24-hour news, CNN.
