(since I'm sure you don't know what you're looking at, that would be the latest cable news ratings FNC being Fox)
Arguing that because Fox has good ratings means that more people in the country agree with their views is skewed logic.

If you are liberal or prefer your news with a liberal slant (or just don't care about how the news is slanted) you have a lot of different options. You can watch CNN, MSNBC, CNBC and pretty much all of major networks (NBC, ABC etc.). If you want your news with a conservative slant you only have one source, FOX.

If a city has 5 restaurants in it with 4 of them being pizza places and the 5th being a burger place you would expect the burger place to be busy all the time because the pizza places are going to split the pizza crowd. That doesn't mean that burger place is better than any of the pizza places, nor does it mean that the people of that town prefer burgers to pizza, it just means that this is the only burger joint in town.
