Default Fox News viewer age

Is a seismic shift happening over at Fox News?

The biggest cable news network is normally ruled by Bill O'Reilly, who
has had the top show in the land for as long as anyone can remember.
But this past week, O'Reilly had to play second fiddle to none other
than stablemate Megyn Kelly, who beat him in the coveted A25-54 demo
for the first time in her show's young history.

Now, a week is just a week, but Kelly almost beat O'Reilly in total
viewers too, trailing him by less than 100,000 eyeballs.

O'Reilly is vulnerable in the demo partially because his audience is
so old—the median age of his viewers is 72—but he's usually able to
get by on the overwhelming total audience advantage he has. Kelly's
audience is almost as old (71.7) but she's clearly getting more and
more people to watch her. Media-watchers will be looking closely to
see whether she can keep the victories over O'Reilly coming.

***Megan Kelly's demo is younger at 71.7 years.***

Proof the conservative movement is aging out of society and,
eventually, off the voter rolls.


If the DNC was that confident, they wouldn't work so hard to cheat at
the voting booth, or use the IRS, Injustice, Osha, etc against the
opposition, they would just get things done, the old fashioned way...
