Frank Rich had a fascinating piece in the New Yorker on Fox News. It’s online and no subscription needed. Take a look for yourself.
Rich argues that Fox is losing its relevance. He intimates once Roger Ailes is gone, Fox is done.
I am not so certain.
Here are my take-aways from the piece:
Fox has about a million viewers each night, clearly beating MSNBC and CNN combined. But Fox is only a fraction still of the nightly network newscasts.
The Fox News audience is getting older. Younger folks are not gravitating toward O’Reilly Hannity and company.
But here’s the big reason in eyes. Fox News has failed to embrace the new communications technology. This is where Roger Ailes looks really out of touch.
