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.



You have skewed the statistics to fit your agenda.
Kind of interesting that 43% of all Americans are 50 and older.
Try some of these.

"In contrast, political talk shows, particularly conservative talk
programs, have older audiences. Large majorities of the regular viewers
of Sean Hannity (66%) and The O’ Reilly Factor (64%) are 50 and older.
Just 43% of all Americans are 50 and older. And while just 17% of the
public is 65 and older, 42% of regular Hannity viewers and 40% of
regular O’Reilly viewers are in that age category.

Liberal talk show audiences also skew older, but not as dramatically.
Still, among regular Hardball watchers, 59% are 50 or older, and 28% are
at least 65. Among regular Rachel Maddow viewers, 57% are 50 or older
and 25% are at least 65."
