Eventually, they wouldn't be able to charge as much, but I very much doubt the people who are now abandoning it because their feelings were hurt by Fox's coverage will stay away for long.

    There was a MAGA protest at Fox in DC yesterday. It attracted 8 people.

    I dumped cable several years ago.
    Agree. Remember the football boycott?

    For now. Fox couldn't in good conscience get behind trump's epic meltdown, especially with Rudy the Drunk at the helm. It's embarrassing, but not embarrassing enough for that guy Pirro to jump ship yet. Carlson seems to have his finger in the wind, and Hannity still sniffs trump's farts.

    Fox will weather this. They'll weather it even faster if Biden wins. People will tune in for the Biden bashing. It's the same reason liberal outlets are about to take a massive hit if Biden wins. They won't have Trump to melt down over and they certainly won't go heavy on old grandpa badfinger. Some of the more far left outlets might because Biden won't be the progressive troubadour he claims he is.

    Fox had a great model and filled a gap. There weren't any right leaning outlets. now there are plenty to choose from so Fox needs to fight for it's viewers. As always competition is a good thing.

    Newsmax and OAN can fill the need for better non-DNC news stations.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Social media is going after OAN hard. I guess they are really making a name for themselves. I haven't watched any Newsmax. They used to get a lot of criticism from the left for being more of a tabloid.

    I watch about 20 minutes each day. It is news.

    These days, Fox seems to be leaning toward facts during the day, as trump is history.
    Well, I watch FNC only at night; but not for the reason you posited.

    I watch very little television during the daytime, as I have other things to do (as I rather imagine that others do, also).

    In the evening (5:00pm CT) I watch Special Report with Brett Baier.

    Of the nighttime shows, my favorite is that of Tucker Carlson. (I like Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham just fine; but they are a little more hard-right than I would prefer. Tucker Carlson is more center-right--as I am, also.)

    As for Trump being "history" (I assume that this is what you mean; there is really no such person--to my knowledge, anyway--as "trump"), this is probably true. I would give him only about a two or three percent chance of overturning the apparent results.

    But I would not declare this as a certainty, at this point. (To do so sounds more like blatant triumphalism than it sounds like dispassionate analysis; and I care nothing for the former--whether done by those on the right or those on the left.)

    As for Fox they are clinging to life with the Top Rated talks shows at night and on weekends. That is all they got keeping them going.
    this is what happens when you tell an audience for the last 30 years that they live in an alternate reality. but when that audience is given a small dose of the real world, they go beserk. Fox did this to themselves and they have only themselves to blame for their declining ratings.

    Okay, so you consider conservatism to be "an alternate reality"--as opposed to "the real world"?

    Are you quite certain that you wish to take that position?

    No their shift to liberal fools reporting is their demise.
