The downgrading of U.S. credit by S&P last week must have sent viewers flocking to cable news outlets. On Saturday, the morning following the credit downgrade, Fox News’ Neil Cavuto anchored the highest-rated program on cable news for the entire weekend.
It was record setting. His two-hour financial special, “The Cost of Freedom,” from 10 a.m. to noon, averaged 1. 5 million viewers. This was the second highest Cost of Freedom in all of 2011 to date – only behind the Cost of Freedom on 3/12/11 which followed the Japan earthquake.
