The ratings slide started long ago. Fox news has been the recipient of those fleeing viewers only recently. What scares me is that the major network news has been a profit loser for much longer than Fox has been around. The major network news has succeeded in turning off many conservatives who might have been interested in the news of the day, and profit has never been much of a factor in how they cover the news. I suspect for ABCNBCCBSCNN profit will always take a backseat to the real objective of slanting the news or even complete lies to further the political agenda of the left.

The millionaire/billionaire owners of these huge conglomerates more than make up the lost profits by promoting liberal laws that funnel the money from the family to the government where it is laundered and given back to the liberal rich under the guise of targeted tax cuts for liberal businesses and grants for liberal corporation that foster dependency worldwide.

The end to a long dry spell has come for those who wanted balance on TV news. Our thirst is great...Cheers to Fox News for quenching it.

Although Fox News is a breath of fresh air, the real problem remains to be solved: a balanced broadcast news network. After all, the cable news networks have but a small fraction of the viewership of ABC, CBS, and NBC.

It sounds far out, but I believe you're onto something. Maybe a deeper truth, or just an interesting insight... Thanks for the comment.
