I don't know how they do on ad revenue-- if their ratings go down, they won't be able to charge advertisers as much, and they may become a drag on the network profits, but as long as fat cats are still willing to subsidize them, they won't die.
But someday they'll cost too much; and rich guys won't want to bother with propaganda anymore; and then, WHACK!; they'll be gone overnight, ratings be damned.
Kinda like Clear Channel....

Sure, but who? Old folks, slipping away, by and large.
Per the data shown, they win the 25-54 demographic.

The rest of my point (the bit you edited out) still stands. They win a fraction of the audience, that's it.

I guess kicking everyone's ass in the ratings for almost 2 decades has their legs tired.

Fascinating stats. And which team won the Minor League World Series last year? OH, wait, that's right, there ain't no MINOR LEAGUE World Series. Never mind.

Good point, NewOld. The only important fact remains: FauxNews dominates CABLE news, which is watched the least of network, local and cable...so being #1 of #3 isn't much to crow about.

And if what you righties insist is true, that all non-Fox media is liberal, well then, the other networks combined add up to about the same audience. That audience is just listening to a wider collection of voices, rather than just one.
Young voters don't watch any of them - but still lean left. Ratings aren't everything.

Fox News isn't dying, but its audience is. Literally.

Yet the morons on the right still refer to everyone else as the "mainstream media."

What, you expect wingnuts to understand something as complex as... the basic definition of a word??
Hell, they just re-define any words that they like to suit their addled little agenda.
