Lots of conservatives in my neck of the woods. After talking with a lot of them, many have cut their viewing of Fox News down considerably.

For a smart organization, I smell opportunity...Breitbart? Someone else?

The stream of negative headlines for President Trump about his campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia and the firing of FBI Director James Comey is shaking up the cable news ratings race.

Last week, MSNBC won all five weekdays over CNN and Fox News in prime time, according to Nielsen data. The NBC-owned network led by “The Rachel Maddow Show,” now the No. 1 show in cable news with an average of 2.9 million viewers last week, became the go-to destination for viewers transfixed by the unfolding investigation into the White House scandal.

The story is having the opposite effect at Fox News, where conservative commentators were more skeptical about the significance of the nearly daily leaks related to Trump’s handling of Comey’s dismissal and reports that the president shared classified intelligence with Russian diplomats during a White House visit.

Fox News won the week among total viewers, averaging 2.209 million, compared with 1.857 million for MSNBC and 1.426 million for CNN. But Fox finished behind CNN and MSNBC among viewers ages 25 to 54, the demographic most important to advertisers who buy commercial time on the network.

Even with the third-place finish last week, Fox News still ranks first among viewers and in the 25-to-54 age group in May. But the race has tightened considerably. Through May 21, Fox News was averaging 443,000 viewers, followed by MSNBC’s 420,000 and CNN’s 402,000. In May 2016, Fox led CNN by 79,000 viewers and MSNBC by 160,000 in the category.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Why, because of the O'Reilly thing?

Sheppard Smith, no O'Reilly, and the current news of Murdoch's son re-making the network.
