People tend to have short memories when it comes to things like that. They will soon move on to the next controversy. For instance, look how long threads stay up on the front page in this forum.

Its has nothing to do with memory. If fox isnt going to cover a story because its negative to trump then people will tune into the channels that do. Yes they will move on to the next controversy which fox may not cover because they are ideologically prevented from doing so.

We will just have to wait and see. As for now, they are still #1 and have been for quite some some. CNN hasn't been.

Theyve been number 1 because they chase scandal after scandal even if they have to manufacture then. Well they cant chase the bigges trump scandals because hes a republican.

Whatever the reason may be, they are #1 and have been for a long time.

Why are people still talking to someone that just copies and pastes the same answers? Mark them on ignore and move on.

It held the #1 slot by an enormous margin. For the last couple of weeks it's dropped to just about neck and neck with MSNBC, and dropped out of first several days. Seems all of the scandals and conspiracy pushing are finally starting to affect them.

I guess their viewers have found better echo chamber propaganda networks online where they aren't even limited by the pretense of honest journalism.

Damn, that is brutal, but entirely true.

And other's don't give a shit.

We don’t like the new rules – I’d sure prefer a society where no one was getting attacked, having walked through the ruins of a country that took that path – but we normals didn’t choose the new rules. The left did. It gave us Ferguson, Middlebury College, Berkeley, and “Punch a Nazi” – which, conveniently for the left, translates as “punch normals.”

The old rules were good because they produced good outcomes (i.e no political violence) the new rules are 'good' because they are fair - Everybody is down in the shit.
Read this tweet from the "journalist" in question:

Left, right and center, straight news and opinion, journalists at CPAC have one thing in common, the overwhelming urge to punch Benji Backer

Am i supposed to give a shit someone hit him?
I, Don't.

You don't give a shit that someone was elected that assaulted a journalist for asking him a simple question? Do you enjoy having the mentality of a fascist? Because that is exactly what fascists did.

No, i don't enjoy political violence - It's uniformly bad.
It's just that if we are only told to care if its from one direction (I.E when the right is doing it) - The right will eventually cease to give a shit.
Hypocrisy is bad not because it alters what is right and wrong, but because it makes people no longer give a shit what is wrong and what is right.
If you want political violence to stop, squash it everywhere, from everyone, with equal measure -

It is wrong to punch anyone for their political views.

However, if it you could pick one group to punch for their political views, I think most of us would pick 'Nazis'.

But who is a Nazi?
See there is the problem.

Not sure if this was linked previously or not, but just in case.

Not both sides.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott Makes Joke About Shooting Reporters
http://www.newsweek.com/texas-govern...porters-616403

Abbott made his joke at a gun range, after signing a bill that lowers the fee for handgun licensing. Prior to that bill's passage, Texas already had some of the nation's friendliest gun laws, including one that allowed for concealed weapons on public college campuses.

After signing the fee-lowering bill, Abbott went to a gun range to show off his own prowess with firearms. Later, as he displayed his target sheet, he said, "I'm gonna carry this around in case I see any reporters."

Yes, more likely than not the loss in viewership will be short lived. The demographic they lost are very fickle. They will flock back to what they like.

Isnt it the opposite for fox viewership? That they aren't fickle but rather overly stubborn?
