This piece from the NYT today follows Jonathan Klein, president of CNN’s domestic operations, in his quest to find all the “silver linings” in the CNN / Fox News battle over viewers. Klein is portrayed as fighting the good fight against the “juggernaut” and “overwhelming competition” that is Fox News, whose primetime viewership, incidentally, is more than double CNN’s, according to the piece.

The NYT piece refrains from politicizing these statistics, perhaps only because doing so would tie together FNC’s growing success with its more conservative take.
