Fox losing moderate-conservative viewers

[Billo_Really]

Since election day last year, Fox has lost a large percentage of its moderate-conservative viewership.

Hannity dipped more than 50%; O'Reilly lost about a quarter.

According to Nielsen data, Fox News's prime-time monthly audience fell to its lowest level in twelve years in January among the 25-to-54 demographic. Daytime Fox News programming likewise saw its lowest monthly ratings in this age cohort since June 2008. Even the network's two biggest stars, O'Reilly and Hannity, have not been immune from viewer desertion: Hannity lost close to 50 percent of his pre-election audience in the final weeks of 2012, and O'Reilly more than a quarter. The slide hasn't stopped in 2013, either. Compared with a year ago, O'Reilly's February prime-time ratings dropped 
26 percent in the coveted 25-to-54 demographic, his worst performance since July 2008. Hannity's sank even further, to the lowest point in his show's history.

And that's not all! There's a big loss in the "trust" factor with Fox, for those claiming to be moderate-conservatives.

...among those who identified themselves as "somewhat conservative," the level of trust fell by an eye-opening 27 percentage points during the previous twelve months (from a net plus–47 percent "trust" rating in 2012 to plus–20 percent now).

You can only put out so much bullshit for so long before normal people start tuning out.

What I found that was quite a hoot, was that a recent survey found Fox viewers to be less informed than people who watch no news programs at all!

Dan Cassino, a political science professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University who specializes in studying partisan psychology...conducted a survey that found Fox News's viewers were less informed about current political issues than those who watched no news at all.

That's pretty bad!

Compared to CNN that's stellar.

Compared to CNN that's stellar.

It's worth noting that CNN and MSNBC did not suffer any drop in viewership (like Fox has) since election day.

Bs.

Bs.

Not according to the Nielson Ratings.

 

[Billo_Really]

Fox ratings are going down because their viewers are dying!

They have the oldest average viewer (age 63) between them CNN and MSNBC.

And their extreme right viewpoint is not winning over the coveted 25-54 demographic club.

MSNBC's ratings have been rising quite nicely

Any moderately intelligent individual would conclude Fox News is garbage just in the same way MSNBC news is garbage. Therefore, I’m glad to hear viewers are dropping off.

Journalists these days seem more concerned about ratings than journalistic integrity, and everyone seems to have a pretty blatantly obvious agenda (especially MSNBC).

Turn off your TV’s folks… it’s all garbage.

Sad.

A few weeks ago President Obama signed the so-called "Monsanto Protection Act", where these bio companies now can't be held liable for the potentially harmful foods they are creating in labs. In light of some studies showing that GMOs may have a pretty strong link to cancer, this should be concerning to everyone. MSNBC was mostly silent. No questions, no concerns, nothing..

But when it comes to gun control, we'll see a 24/7 marathon campaign on MSNBC. How many people die every year from mass shootings? I'll give a hint; it's less than 50. Compare that number to the hundreds of millions of Americans who are currently consuming GMO foods....

Makes me so angry.

How hard has MSNBC been on Obama's disgusting drone strikes on weddings and schools to nix a single suspect "in question"? How hard has MSNBC been on Obama for fighting for indefinite detention despite saying that he had "great reservations" back when he signed NDAA? How hard has MSNBC been on Obama for appointing Monsanto execs to key spots within the FDA? How hard has MSNBC been on Obama for prosecuting more whistleblowers than any president in history? How hard has MSNBC been on Obama for completely failing to prosecute A SINGLE Wall Street high ranking official after the collapse of our economy due to fraud?

Like Fox, MSNBC has a pretty clear agenda, and their pick and choose coverage is the evidence..

This ain't the Garden of Eden
This ain't the Summer of Love
The media ain't what it used to be
And there ain't no leadership above.

Whatever viewers Fox lost since the election they still have ten times more viewers than the guy with the tingle up his leg or the left's most important source of information, the comedy channel. Lefties need to quit whining about Fox and the 1st Amendment and concern themselves with the state of the Union.

This past January, Fox could only muster 32,000 nightly viewers more than MSNBC.

This past January, however, Fox could only muster 267,000 average nightly viewers—a 50 percent drop from that 2009 level, and not much more than MSNBC's 235,000 or CNN's 200,000.

People who don't even watch news are more informed than Fox viewers.

MSNBC's biggest problem is cheerleading Obama way too fuckin' much!

MSNBC is not garbage and it is news.

Fox is just right-wing propaganda and it is not a legitimate media outlet.

This thread (by Loonboy) is what happens when his elected Democrats shoot down the Democrat gun Bill and the left doesn't get to blame a terrorist attack on gun toting Right wingers from South Carolina -all in one week. That's right, instead of their expectations that they'd be gloating... We get a thread bashing FOX News.

If Fox is propaganda, so is MSNBC. Fox pushes Right, MSNBC left.

The recent gun control coverage frenzy confirms this.

Lefties have been lashing out incoherently at various targets ever since they were disappointed about the Boston bombers being jihad maniacs.

No, it's not the same thing.

MSNBC reports the news; Fox makes the news.

Legitimate media outlets do not actively participate in promoting candidates, Fox does.
