That depends on which network you are asking about, and what time of day. Among the "big three" (CBS, NBC, and ABC), the evening newscast (usually broadcast at 6.30 pm) tends to get the biggest ratings. Brian Williams of NBC and Diane Sawyer of ABC are either #1 or #2 (the NBC nightly newscast was #1 for a long time, but in 2013, ABC overtook it on a few occasions). On cable, Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier is highly rated, but it does not get as many viewers as the NBC and ABC evening newscasts do. Typically, NBC's nightly news draws more than 7 million viewers; Bret Baier's program averages nearly 3 million viewers.
Most of the time, Fox News does not critique GOP candidates, since the network is identified with the Republican party and promotes Republican views. But there are two kinds of people on Fox News-- opinion commentators (most of whom tend to lean pro-Republican, and praise Republican ideas); and news anchors, who try to be objective and keep opinion out of their reporting. Thus, Shep Smith or Bret Baier or even Chris Wallace would at times critique a Republican candidate who is in the news, since reporting the news (even about Republicans) is part of their job, and they take it seriously.
