If the other two networks could figure out something to do that was fresh, exciting, interesting, instead of being echos of one another, they might be able to draw in larger audiences. Fox has that core audience that never leaves them no matter what and the truth is on plain view: it's larger than the core audience for either CNN or MSNBC. As someone who is a fan of both CNN & MNSBC, I wish they could figure out what that something is and turn this around in their favor but I think they both missed the boat a long time ago and there's no hope of ever catching up at this point in the game---until Fox's audience dies from extreme old age or something.

BUT I guess you just sweep them under the mat and hope for better numbers next time to be proud of. A shame the FNC PR team doesn’t have anything positve to say about its declining numbers.
