"Advertisers" withdrew dollars from Fox's number one show Bill O'reilly; just like that O'reilly went on vacation and disappears from television forever. "Advertisers" start to "boycott" Sean Hannity; just like that Hannity is on vacation and may be the next to disappear.
As recently as a few months ago, ratings were mostly all that mattered to advertisers. Either the convergence of consumer product companies has come to the point where a few holding companies have ownership and control over where most advertising dollars are spent, or, the new Fox owners are sabotaging their own once most popular show hosts to change the message and character of Fox forever. Suspect a combination of both.
What is commonly called the conservative or right wing point of view of America is now all but gone from television. It has been pushed out by the warmongering money controllers of American business. That push has forced out from public vision the voice and opinions of more than two thirds of Americans (200 million at least).
At a time when new mediums are overwhelming television, at a time when television viewing is collapsing, taking out the content that appeals to the greatest potential viewers can not improve television viewing. The destruction of Fox TV will induce acceleration of the end of television as we knew it.
Children are not watching television unless their parents want them to, teenagers think it is old and worthless, men and women 20-55 use their phones or laptops for information and entertainment -let alone plan their lives around it like a generation past. How thick are your local newspapers today? Most newspapers are 1/3 -1/4 the size they used to be. Newspapers are but gone. With Fox forcing out the last of the few attractions, T.V. is next.
