Ratings for FOX just released and they were up HUGE, again. I guess the FACTS dispute the author's premise.

The ratings are historical, whatever Fox is doing to undermine its audience will show up later on, if an when, a alternative goes on the air. I still have a negative sense of CNN that stems from the damage they did during the OJ trial. Who has been able to accept them as a serious news business since? If FOX create enough of that kind of negative association, people are going to be willing to change channels; and, the way the whole broadcast/cable space has been going I wouldn't be surprise if they started disconnecting altogether. In my home the TV has been relegated to serve as little more then a monitor for the DVD. The cable is there to provide some news access, but I am getting less and less out of that, and I probably wouldn't feel disconnected if I disconnected.

What FOX is doing is appealing to a broad spectrum of people. For Instance, I don't watch Greta but apparently huge numbers of people do. There is a show for everyone so to speak. And if it gets apolitical people who watch the news/entertainment show to consume les liberal bias at other stateions and gets them to watch more of Hannity or Brit, then FOX is doing a masterful long term marketing job AND it will help get people to have access to non-liberal biased news....which is a good thing.
