Whereas Fox has made their appeal to conservatives that would probably be on the older end of the spectrum who still enjoy watching the talking heads.

Liberal or Conservative the thought of sitting down and watching any of these blowhards babble their opinions is nauseating to think about.

Yea, that's gotta be it, all those old people are the only conservatives...

Could it instead perhaps be because the product coming from VFNN just sucks?

You ever watched that gruel?

Wonder out loud whether the images of cast members jerking off during a Zoom meeting or the indictments of one pedo-employee after another has had any effect?

Nah, couldn't be.

Only time I really turn on cable news is during major elections and I flip between them all to watch different opinions of what's happening. I do really enjoy John King and his magic wall. That man's knowledge of elections is truly mind blowing.

But point being I doubt even young conservatives are watching Fox. I do believe the older population skews more to the conservative, but I don't think that is an outlandish thought. One of my favorite TV quotes is "Everyone is a democrat till they grow up and make a little money"

Yup, there's def some truth to that, recall the Fresh Prince guys quote when he was told what the tax rate in France was at the time.

The counter quip to that is:

What's the definition of a conservative? A liberal who's been mugged...
