Living proof that you CAN fool some of the people all of the time. Of course, it's just the stupid people.

Has Hannity always been that low? The 4 pm slot is beating him? What a disaster!

From a recent Atlantic magazine article at:

http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/08/the-twilight-of-fox-news/497684/

"Turning to Fox News, many of these patterns are reappearing. Like ESPN, Fox News presides over a small monopoly on a certain demographic—not of young male sports viewers, but of older male conservatives. Fox News sometimes seems to lear above the political landscape like an ominous village volcano. But in the larger picture, the channel's presence is best described as a medium-sized hill: The network averages about 2 million viewers each week, and Bill O’Reilly’s show fetches a bit more than 3 million. "Well, that's a lot more than you," a Fox News personality might retort when confronted with such accusation, and indeed, it is a lot more than me. But in an election with more than 120 million projected voters, it’s really not so many.

Fox News is “mainstream" only by the modern and severely diluted definition of the term; Walter Cronkite once pulled audiences in the tens of millions. By any reasonable calculation, Fox News is niche. And its niche is old white men. Cable news is a gerontocratic kingdom where Fox News serves as king. The median age of Americans watching CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News is over 60. Half of Fox News viewers are over the age of 68."

In other words, you have no comment about the fact that Ailes was using the threat of firing or the carrot of promotion to get sexual favors from the women he hired, for decades.

CNN edited Hillary talking about the bombings, NBC edited George Zimmerman, Another network editied out Bill Clinton saying Hilllary frequently faints, etc., etc.. People are tired of major news networks doctoring their stuff to fit their narrative.

Fox News is fair and balanced. They present the facts without editing. That is what people want. Not lies, lies and more lies from the liberal news media.

Sean Hannity explicitly admits that he's not fair and balanced.

Sean is not a newsman.

I actually find several of the women on MSNBC to be more attractive than any of the fake blondes on FOX, if that matters.

The white women pretending to be black?

Summary: On average, people who watch Fox "News" know less about current events than people who watch no news at all. This kind of stuff is probably why:

This study was replicated within the past year, by the way.

You'd be surprised by some of the people who watch Fox News. I work at a hospital & regularly work out in the fitness center. Lot of doctors work out there, & the first thing a good portion of the doctors do is walk up to the TV & put on Fox News to watch while they work out on the treadmill.

A lot of patient rooms have it on 24/7 too. Ranging from poor to middle class to wealthy.

Took me by surprise because I didn't think many people actually watched it.

Fox So Called News has ruined this country with thier hatred and bias. Average age of Fox News viewers is 69.

Everyone should watch "The Brainwashing of My Dad" - came out earlier this year and details the corrupted path of Fox and Ailes very well.

This is true. Sometimes they're ridiculously anti-Obama but other times they investigate things that nobody else has the courage to touch. Some people hate Fox but watch Fox just to get aggravated. I only have time to see Special Report, With all due Respect (Bloomberg) and O'Reilly (sometimes); and I would say that John Heileman is more biased against Trump then O'Reilly is for Trump. I would say that Special Report is reasonably fair. Krauthammer hates Trump, as does Jonah Goldberg and many other panelists.

Half the people in the world are of below average intelligence.

The typical Liberal refrain. Fox has people on the show from both sides. Unlike MSNBC who typically have only Liberals so they can preach to the choir. Coach d give it a rest.
