From Jennifer Calfas’s article at fortune.com:
For the first time in almost 17 years, Fox News Channel finished third among its competitors within the top viewership demographic for prime time.
Fox News finished behind MSNBC and CNN among 25-54 year olds during primetime last week amid a tumultuous week for the Trump Administration, AdWeek reports. MSNBC came out on top with on average 611,000 viewers between ages 25-54 years old, and 2.44 million total. Fox News had 497,000 viewers in that category, and 2.4 million in total. Fox News still has the top primetime ratings and all-day ratings among its competitors for the full month, Business Insider reports.
Is this for real, or only a transitory blip on the cable news radar?
If real, is it because of the Roger Ailes scandal? Because O’Reilly is gone? Because MSNBC’s lineup suddenly has become more appealing? Some combination of these reasons? Some other reason(s)?
Let’s keep an eye on this one.
It is because Rupert Murdoch’s two liberal sons are running it now.
They cut O’Reilly loose on accusations and have brought in a bunch of liberals.
