Fox News is still a ratings juggernaut but the age of its viewers - old and getting older - signals trouble on the horizon.

In case you missed it, I wrote a post on Addicting Info a few days ago about an interesting article in the New York Times about the off-the-ratings chart median age of Fox News viewers, 65+.

The Times wrote:

Just how old is its audience? It is impossible to be precise because Nielsen stops giving an exact figure for median age once it passes 65. But for six of the last eight years, Fox News has had a median age of 65-plus and the number of viewers in the 25-54 year old group has been falling consistently, down five years in a row in prime time, from an average of 557,000 viewers five years ago to 379,000 this year. That has occurred even though Fox’s overall audience in prime time is up this year, to 2.02 million from 1.89 million three years ago.

To which I added:

It would certainly be ironic if the network’s own downfall was not because of its outrageous propaganda, hate mongering or distortions but because the age of its own fans did it in.
