The bigger they are, the harder they fall...

Well, well, well..what a lovely way to start the day. Ironic that Fox is in a free fall and so is Mr. Resident. While on one hand, the occupant in the White House is most likely shielded from this information with co-presidents Rove and Cheney at the helm, we can be certain that Rupert and Roger certainly aren't grabbing the nearest sickle and chopping a little brush as they strategize. One thing we can be certain of if nothing else in these days of tyranny and treason, Rupert and Ailes are a couple of super dangerous men and they are not about to take this news lying down. Still, my delight is honest and true and I can't think of a better couple of thugs to get this news. What I worry about are the ramificiations to the rest of us.


Fox News in Ratings Free FallHere's something you won't hear on Fox News -- ratings for the cable news channel have been plummeting since before the November election.According to TV Newser, the number of people watching Fox during prime time in the 25 to 54 age bracket dropped in April for the sixth straight month.TV Newser cited a CNN press release which gave these totals for Fox's primetime audience in the 25 to 54 age bracket: Oct. 04: 1,074,000; Nov. 04: 891,000; Dec. 04: 568,000; Jan. 05: 564,000; Feb. 05: 520,000; March 05: 498,000; April 05: 445,000. That amounts to a decline of 58 percent, with no sign of leveling off.Other cable stations' ratings were also down since the election, but CNN's, for example, appeared to have stabilized last month while Fox's continued to drop.What the press release didn't say is that we can add 629,000 people to those who don't watch Fox. That works out to just over 89,857 people for each of the seven News Hounds who are watching Fox so those people don't have to. Now that we've added another Hound, we should be able to take care of the remaining 445,000 in even less than six months.Fox's plunging ratings should be a warning to those cable stations trying to copy the news channel's conservative Republican slant. People are tired of it. Try something different, like a progressive television show, for a change. http://www.newshounds.us/2005/05/18/fox_news_in_ratings_free_fall.php#more
