Fox News is showing serious signs of aging, led by steep audience declines

Fox has become the very thing that I turned off the alphabets for. They have very pretty girls, including Shep Smith, who chirp and smile inappropriately. They have "fun" segments that make me grind my teeth. They bring on highly partisan people for their "balance" rather that thoughtful people with different points of view. They should call Rush Limbaugh and ask him for a critique of how you keep the most informed audience on the planet. Right now, for example, the ladies are giggling about Saddam's death sentence.

Fox News’s total audience fell 24 percent in the past year, to 1.3 million viewers from 1.7 million, and its key primetime audience, viewers ages 25-54, was down 7 percent in October on a year-to-year basis, to an average 363,000 viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research data.

That is an interesting article, and per ususual the pundits reach the wrong conclusions about the cause of the audience drop. I can hardly believe that someone would say with a straight face, that 2005 was an "incredible year for news compared to 2006 (an election year)".

Fox News has taken such a left turn, that most often, I have to completely turn the TV off, and I've done it more since August of 2005 than I have in my life. Witness the guest coming up on F & F......Dan Rather. Is this a joke?

You got a big problem, Roger Ailes. Do you intent to fix it?

They did show "obsession" about the real islam.

The fact is that the graduates of journalism school are overwhelmingly left wing.

It is like trying to find a lawyer who is a conservative to make a judge.

You have a hard time.

The Obsession program was showing literally how one MODERATE islam leader saying "9/11 was bad" to the US media on camera THEN in front of other Moslems he talked of "the Magnificent 19" and called non moslems Koofer(?) as in slaves or cows.

Watch fox now they are talking about this .
