providing our digital fans with the best content from our linear
platforms to providing our television audience with original
digital reporting. Our continued number one ranking in key metrics
proves that FOXNews.com is the destination for daily news stories,
investigative journalism, cutting edge opinion and entertainment
coverage.”
