What's the reason for Brit Hume's huge decline? I watch every night. Though I ignore the Duke stuff. I don't know why he invests so much on-air time to it. It doesn't deserve 5 seconds.
The change in my viewing correlates nicely with the decline in your graph.
I like Brit's program but I like to offer a theory. At times, Brit's program gives me the impression of being too much on the inside. Case in point - Porter Goss resigning. Now, I read on FR sometime last week about the lobbying scandel, card games, prostitutes, etc. That is just now starting to come out. Yet, I got the feeling with Brit on Sundays program that he knew about it but was not going to say anything about it just yet. Hell, if you got the story, break it! Of his panel, the only ones I enjoy listening to now are Charles Krauthammer and Bill Samon. Fred Barnes and Bill Kristol come off as smary, Juan is a complete idiot, Mort is wishy-washy, and the horse face woman constantly has a deer in the headlights look as if she has no idea what anyone is talking about and this is the first time she heard it mentioned.
