Is Fux News Over? Fux Business News A Flop. MyNetworkTV, A Flop. Repugs Anti Fux News Now
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 11:43 AM by fightindonkey
What happened? I mean you have O'Reilly over there saying that they're a hated network now. Freepers are now saying that Fux News is not fair and balanced, and are against them. Ailes tried to push MyNetworkTV, which is a complete failure. Fux Business Channel which was pushed as a sure win, is a flop in the ratings and a joke to the public. Insannity, and O'Lielly have been attacked by protesters, and making front pages as the biggest tools out there. Then Fux tried it's hand at a Daily Show, actually two different shows, one got canceled, the other is still on, but a complete flop. Is Fux just drained?

The Freepers are now against them as well, BIG TIME. Even voting in polls that they hate the network.

Murdoch is old as dirt, and will be dead soon. Is it all over for the Repug network(s) finally? I just see it continuing to sink, especially with a Dem in the WH.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of thugs!

1. They shouldn't of tried to screw Ron Paul
His supporters are part of the "angry white male" set (so am I, but his view on everything except the war are insane)so they don't take kindly to Fox pulling this kind of shit.

2. A Dem in the WH would be the best thing for them.

Then they can go on the attack and be salacious instead of having to circle the wagons and defend the indefensible. They were thriving under Clinton.

3. But Then Doesn't That Put Them In The Position Of Whining? I Mean The Internets Would Bash The Hell
out of them, exposing each lie. It seems like it would topple them, since the Dems would have the upperhand.

4. Their audience, how can I put this gently, isn't the most savvy.
They believe them because they want to believe them.

6. Both Fox News and CNN have a median viewer age a hair above 60.
To put that in perspective, the only other network with an audience that old is the Hallmark Channel. The other news channels still have an average viewership in the upper 50s.

News in general skews old (newspapers do too) but there's no really good evidence that Fox's audience is dying off any faster than the competition. Wandering away, perhaps.
