The cable news channel’s overall prime-time ratings are off 8 percent in the second quarter of this year, and down 22 percent in viewers ages 25 to 54.

I don't think it is the prime time news anchors that is the problem, it is the content that they are covering.

Sorry, but when Shep Smith has a full segment on Natalie Holloway in Aruba, followed by O'Reilly with a full segment on Natalie Holloway in Aruba, followed by Hannity and Corpse with a full segment on Natalie Holloway in Aruba, followed by Greta's FULL SHOW of Natalie Holloway in Aruba, WHY SHOULD I WATCH ANYMORE?

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, FoxNews appears to be femming down lately. Possibly in an effort to attract more of the fairer sex(who ostensibly control the spending) for advertisers, they may be crapping in their mess kit by losing the hard news crowd.

People(both men and women I suspect) desperate for some semblence of real news flocked to Fox early on. There should be no reason for a slide in viewership unless they themselves have changed. Their competition doesn't appear to have done anything to recover their losses to Fox, so I'd guess there's something else at play. But whadda I know.

Ailes should recall who brung him to the dance.
