Sean Hannity lost roughly half of his audience

Two of the top conservative commentators on Fox News saw their ratings plummet after Barack Obama’s re-election victory in November. According to Nielsen, Bill O’Reilly’s numbers dropped by nearly a third, while Sean Hannity lost roughly half of his audience by the end of 2012.

The thinking that explains the disparity between Hannity’s and O’Reilly’s ratings hit is that Hannity steadfastly refused to believe in an election outcome other than one that saw Mitt Romney taking over the White House in 2013.

Sean Hannity discredited himself.

Bill O'Rielly is nothing but a blowhard.

What needs to happen for Fox

Problem is

..they don't give enough of themselves to their agenda. They have to give till it hurts. They have to beat the war drums till they almost break. Their shows must be at least 50 per cent of advocating for war anywhere in the world. They should all stand during their whole shows which will make it more professional.

Otherwise they will lose more ratings imo.

There's just so much of the nasal accent one can take

especially one that blathers on and on about nothing.

Probably reading too much into this.

This could also be read that that viewership doubles during election times. The election was their Superbowl. Most lose interest after the game. I'm sure the same can be said for the "liberal" media hosts as well. Let's get that drop down to 100 percent and we'll be getting some where.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with people WAKING UP to Truth

Nothing at all.

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience"—Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

the rest is how they do their mental re-construction

do they attribute this to the ousting of ron paul republicans or do they just blame the youth for becoming more liberal

Hannity if you read this look on the bright side.

Your potential future audience just increased from 312.71 million to 312.73 million!

Also, many babies were born in the same period, some of whom will grow up to be dumb enough to listen to people like you!

Keep looking up, buddy!

Hannity is a dyed-in-the-wool neocon.

Given the choice, Hannity would have also remained aboard the Titanic.

i gotta ask... what does

i gotta ask... what does dyed-in-the-wool mean? sounds cool but I dont get it :)

Least likely to change

The expression "dyed in the wool" comes from the fact that fabric can be dyed in a number of ways. Wool fabric can be dyed after it is woven, or the threads can be dyed before they are woven. When a color is "dyed in the wool," the wool itself is dyed before being spun into threads, so the colour is least likely to fade or change.
