Down Goes Fox News! Down Goes Fox News!

http://theweek.com/article/index/239...-is-struggling

In January, Fox News had its worst primetime ratings since 2001 in the all-important age demographic of 25-54, according to new Nielsen data. Furthermore, its total day ratings for the age group fell to their lowest levels since 2008. The grim news for the conservative cable network was gleefully publicized by liberal rival MSNBC, which boasted a 20 percent boost in the 25-54 demographic from the previous year, and an 11 percent climb in primetime.

What happened? While some liberal commentators would like to see Fox's decline as evidence of a leftward shift in public opinion, coinciding with President Obama enjoying his highest favorability ratings in three years, the truth is probably simpler. Conservative viewers in January — participating in a collective version of see no evil, hear no evil — likely passed on watching President Obama's inauguration, a ratings bonanza for MSNBC. Fox has suffered similar ratings declines during other big Democratic events.

It's also important to keep the latest development in context. As Katherine Fung and Jack Mirkinson at The Huffington Post note, "Fox News still had nine out of the top 10 programs. It has spent 11 consecutive years as the top-rated news channel. Its 6 a.m. show drew almost double the ratings of CNN's top-ranking primetime show."

Ouch. However, while Fox may not feel the need to shake up its lineup à la CNN, the house that Ailes built is making a few changes. Sarah Palin was recently let go as a commentator, while Red State editor Erick Erickson, a recent refugee from CNN, was brought on board.



THEY NEED TO BRING BACK BECK!

The writing is on the wall... It says, THE SKY IS FALLING!

I'll admit I quit watching Fox. They are not near far enough right for me.

Did some research (which wasn't done by some people). The show that fell the most and lost to Rachel Maddow was Studio B which is hosted by a likely liberal. If listen to Shepard Smith for any length of time you can only come to that conclusion. The sarcasm when he talks about the TEA party for instance. Some snide comment about Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, or Rush Limbaugh. So it seems the more liberal part of Fox News Channel lost some ratings to a half way decent looking lesbian who is good for few laughs.

You need to do a tad better research!

Maybe I can post the story and you can argue with the Huffington Post. Considering how you think it would kind of like self abuse.

Your orginial conclusion was wrong from wtf you read into the article.

"The Huffington Post note, "Fox News still had nine out of the top 10 programs. It has spent 11 consecutive years as the top-rated news channel. Its 6 a.m. show drew almost double the ratings of CNN's top-ranking primetime show." "

Is this "trending"? January was down for Fox, but UP for the markets.

Down goes Yssup! Down goes Yssup! On WTF.
