Sure, Fox viewers will eventually die off and then register with the Democratic Party but the average age of MSNBC viewers is 59.

Not everyone media outlet falls in step with the Anointed One.
Yes, we are fearful and resentful and outraged that FOX "voters" are perpetually goosestepping, forever putting ideaology of Neocons/corporatists/libertarians into power, and never ever platforms & issues for we, the American people.

Naturally your going to hate what you Fear Most, and it is quite apparent, that most insecure fear the truth of what comes out from Fox, i believe them way before i would ever believe MSNBC, cannot stand them at all, and don't trust them, my opinion only. MSNBC doesn't hold water to Fox.

Fox viewers are American voters and they ARE the American people. Just keep paying your labor corporation dues to those fat cat leaders who make more in a month than you make in a couple years and who spend their days on a golf course while you work your 40 hours.

Fox News is fair and balanced while the androgynous ones give, "both sides of the news" a whole new meaning. I'll stick with Fox News thank you.

Faux News purposely caters to the RW. I don't even think the majority of the channel's supporters would dispute that. So, how can that be interpreted as "fair and balanced"?..

Unless of course, you feel that "fair and balanced" means continually spinning stories so that the GOP is always shown in a positive light, while the Democrats are always cast as the villains..

That may be what you and the rest of the Faux News worshiping wingnuts want to hear, but it sure as heck isn't "fair and balanced"...

People who watch and keep up with the news tend to be older. Most young adults are apathetic on poltical issues, instead they think about things like tattoos and celebrity gossip. I am in the minority since I have been interested in news and politics since I was a young child. I have been watching news for decades and am still around 20 years younger than the median viewer.

The younger people who are interested in news tend to get it from the internet and not TV. Fox will be just fine, they dominate the cable news ratings. Whatever dip you say they have will bounce back depending on what's going on in the news cycle. With election day near more people will watch.
