NEW YORK (AP) Fox News Channel has found itself somewhere it has rarely been the

past decade out of first place.

The network's weekday prime-time lineup, long the king of cable news, finished b
ehind MSNBC in viewers last week, the Nielsen company said. Among the 25-to-54-y
ear-old audience that advertisers pay a premium for, Fox finished third to MSNBC
and CNN for the first time in 17 years.
It was uniquely bad timing for Fox, a week filled with late-breaking news unflat
tering to President Donald Trump, who much of the network's audience supports. B
ut it also comes shortly after the firing of star anchor Bill O'Reilly, as Fox i
s trying to establish a new prime-time lineup.
Led by the red-hot Rachel Maddow show, MSNBC averaged 2.44 million viewers last
week to Fox's 2.41 million, Nielsen said. CNN had 1.65 million. It was only the
second time in MSNBC's history that it beat both of its news rivals in a week; t
he only other time was during the 2012 Democratic national convention.
Among the youthful viewers, MSNBC had 611,000 last week, CNN had 589,000 and Fox
had 497,000.
When the weekend is added in and the more flattering coverage of Trump's first f
oreign trip Fox moves back into first. And on this Monday, with the breaking new
s coverage of an attack at an Ariana Grande concert in England, Fox essentially
doubled its rivals in viewership, with 3.37 million to CNN's 1.74 million and MS
NBC's 1.65 million.
With the broadcast networks last week, "Dancing With the Stars" and the "Billboa
rd Music Awards" helped ABC to a strong showing, second behind CBS and winning t
he 18-to-49-year-old demographic.
CBS averaged 6 million viewers in prime time, ABC had 5.1 million, NBC had 4.9 m
illion, Fox had 2.6 million, Univision had 1.5 million, the CW had 1.3 million,
ION Television had 1.2 million and Telemundo had 890,000.
The NBA playoffs made TNT the week's most popular cable network. It averaged 3.4
5 million viewers in prime time to Fox News Channel's 2.17 million, MSNBC's 1.79
million, ESPN's 1.69 million and USA's 1.45 million.
ABC's "World News Tonight" won the evening new ratings race, averaging 7.5 milli
on viewers. NBC's "Nightly News" had 7.4 million and the "CBS Evening News" had
6.1 million.
For the week of May 15-21, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "NC
IS," CBS, 13.19 million; "Bull," CBS, 10.85 million; "Dancing With the Stars," A
BC, 10.07 million; "The Voice" (Monday), NBC, 9.112 million; "NCIS: New Orleans,
" CBS, 9.11 million; "Billboard Music Awards," ABC, 8.7 million; "The Voice" (Tu
esday), NBC, 8.6 million; "Survivor," CBS, 8.28 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 8.25
million; "Grey's Anatomy," ABC, 7.92 million.

One of 10 people sickened last month by a tainted batch of nacho cheese from a C
alifornia gas station has died, health officials said Monday.
Martin Galindo, a 37-year-old father of two, died after contracting the foodborn
e disease botulism, his family shared on a GoFundMe page.
On Thursday, Galindo was taken off of life support, ending a weeks-long battle,
his family said.
Martin Galindo, 29, was taken off of life support after being hospitalized for b
otulism, his family said.
Tests have meanwhile confirmed that a cheese product supplied at the Valley Oak
Food and Fuel gas station in Walnut Grove, Sacramento County, contained a toxin
that causes botulism, which is spread through contaminated food or water, Califo
rnia s Department of Public Health said on Monday.
Though the CDPH did not identify last week s fatality by name, the San Francisco O
ffice of the Medical Examiner confirmed Galindo s death, as well as a related botu
lism investigation, to the Sacramento Bee.
I've been managing teams for about six years now, and there's one phrase I've g
rown to hate hearing from employees:
"Somebody should..."
Sometimes this phrase is followed by a very specific task or product improvement
. Other times, it's a suggestion to change a process, either on our team or some
where else in the company.
Employees who use this phrase think they're being helpful.
They think they're saying, "I'm a strategic and creative thinker who looks beyon
d the limits of my defined role and thinks of ways to improve the fortunes of th
e business overall. Please consider my larger value to the company when you thin
k about my performance."
But that's not what their boss hears.
Their boss hears, "I'd like to add another task to your to-do list."
Botulism is the same foodborne disease that has been linked to the sickening of
nine other people who consumed the gas station cheese, including a mother of thr
ee who was placed in intensive care.
The CDPH said the gas station stopped selling the cheese sauce on May 5 and they
 believe there is no continuing risk to the public.
Botulism, whose symptoms including vomiting, blurry vision, slurred speech, dry
mouth and gradual paralysis, is a rare illness that results in death just 3 to 5
percent of the time, according to the CDPH.
