O'Reilly lost a lot of the over age 55 group, and they're not coming back.

That being said, while I genuinely like and respect a lot of the people at FOX, I don't watch ANY of them on a regular basis anymore.

Fox News was far from spared, with some of its lowest ratings in 12 years. …
Will Roger Ailes admit his “course correction” was a failure, though?

I quit FOX twice because of O’Blowhard.

Once, about 10 years ago, and again last year when I thought I’d give them another chance.

It only took BOR a week that time to make me grab the remote

Fox News is now Fox Talk... Do they ever do real newscasts?

Makes it sound like everyone that stopped watching Ted Baxtet died of old age.

But the majority of those viewers are over the age of 55.

Didn't need the article; all one has to do is notice the nature of the commercial advertising on "The Five," "Special Report," etc. Almost all of it is targeted to the elderly, such as reverse mortgages and medicines.

My 2008 New Years resolution was no more cable news. So far I haven’t missed any of them.

I use to watch O’Reilly, to Hannity. They all interview way too many Socialists and don’t challenge them in an intelligent manner or a belligerent one when they ask for it. They bore me to death.

“The Five” is the best show on FNC.

Bill O’Really is a boob, I quit watching him a long time ago when he supported Rosie O’Dognuts adopting children and his lying about FR is a racist website.

Not surprised he’s leading their way downhill.

I couldn’t tell you the last time I turned on ANY television “news” program, incl. Fox. The last I remember, Neil Cavuto was the only one worth more than 5 minutes. O’Reilly was a real breath of fresh air for the first few years, but he too-quickly devolved into a narcissistic jackass.

None of the cable commentators are saying anything. The disconnect widens.

I never cared for “B pompous ass Ororo”.
Fox is the only news that I get, but I have lost interest in all news out of the US...just too depressing.

It’s gotten really old watching the cable shows. Always the same topics with the same people yelling and you know before the show starts exactly the positions and topics. Unless they figure out how to revamp these shows it will continue to get worse.

I for one am tired of people yelling at each other on FOX. It would be refreshing to watch a civil discourse on the issues.

FR is my news source now, and it is well worth it to DONATE so that I can count on it being here.

It’s shameful for a Freepathon to be in its 3rd month.

Young people do not watch TV programs on the TV —they do it on their computers and devices.

Neither do I but I got rid of the cable last fall when I decided to trim expenses. When I did have cable, only ones I watched were Greta and Bret and then only on occasion. The rest of them not for a long time and only O’Reilly by accident and then only as long as it took me to change the channel. I do miss Cavuto and the FOX Business channel though.

Questions... How the hell do these people know the ages of viewers? Is this just the bogus data from the outdated Nielson boxes installed in viewers’ homes?

If the ages of majority viewers is anywhere near accurate, it just means that the younger, LIV population ignores the news that reports what’s happening in America and the world.
