Floundering FoxNews

FoxNews has seen a massive falloff in viewership over the last year. Roger Ailes, their chairman, has apparently been throwing fits. One of their biggest demographic problems is that their viewers are old and getting older.

So, this effort to attract younger viewers by attempting a Daily Show knockoff starring Laura Ingraham? Both amusing and doomed.

    You're not serious?! Oops, just checked out the link...and...you are serious.

    OMG this is going to be amusing, but for all the wrong reasons.

  • I'm surprised to see CNN's ratings are down too. I thought Lou Dobbs helped their ratings.

  • Yeah, Kvatch, it's gonna be a train wreck as they desperately try to be funny. That never works. As evidence, let me offer the non-existent christian comedy industry. Billions for christian music that's bridging into mainstream, but no comics.

    And, Kathy, pretty much everybody's down except Olberman, but I'm not surprised, I mean nobody wants to be reminded of just how bad everything is right now.
