What I see is that if you add them all together, FOX is almost a third again bigger than all the rest combined.
Am I missing something on that page?

If you start with the first set of numbers for total day you get Fox at 1,199,000 viewers. The total of the others (I'm not including FBN because I'm not sure who that is) totals 1,151,000.
Moving on to primetime Fox has 1,927,000. The others combined have 1,637,000 so Fox has a bigger lead, but it isn't massive.
Where Fox excels is at their primetime shows. Their 6-9pm shows crush the others in their ratings and that adds to the total overall ratings.
When you add in broadcast networks it isn't even close. ABC World News tonight draws in about 8.4 million viewers while NBC gets 8.2 and CBS gets 6.6.
If you add it all together it means that on any given night roughly 2 million people get their "news" from conservative slanted fox and about 24.8 million get their "news" from a more liberal or moderately slanted source.
