And honestly why wouldn't they?
Who is their competition? CNN? They seem to be in a competition to piss off as many different groups as they can. MSNBC? Always an underdog there, but they've never been able to find a focus. They got rid of the one person who tried to drive them to one, Keith Olbermann, a long time ago and never recovered. Meanwhile against that backdrop, Fox has an extremely open relationship with "ethics" while everyone else is trying to bend over backwards (...and failing) to convince you they're ethical.
To put it in everyone's favorite brand of analogy, Fox is driving a racecar and everyone else is on a fixed gear bicycle.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoDo any of CNN and MSNBC's audience even have cable anymore? It seems dumb catering to younger people when they've been cutting the cable coord for more than a decade now. If you want to make money on cable, you need to go after older people who are more likely to go be conservatives. > To put it in everyone's favorite brand of analogy, Fox is driving a racecar and everyone else is on a fixed gear bicycle. Fox is driving an El Camino from the 70s, but everyone else has moved on to something other than cars, so they still win.
