Re: 2016 Election
We all assume Trump will pivot his campaign once he has won the nomination in order to appeal to a broader coalition of voters. He will promptly disavow all previous statements and swear he never said that.
We also assume the likes of the today show will mock him mercilessly for this.
Question is will fox, CNN, and the rest of the media do so too or will they carry on letting him call in and get free coverage without questioning what he says?

The Sun was the most popular newspaper in Britain selling millions of copies across generations. Fox News is watched by a few hundred thousand angry old white people just waiting till the early-bird specials start.

In any case, there is a significant proportion of conservatives who really like Fox: Political Polarization & Media Habits | Pew Research Center Those committed followers like the echo chamber effect, and don't trust other sources because they don't tell them what they want to hear.

Bill O'Reilly typically pulls in a few million households.

Re: 2016 Election
Yes I understand this but the seniors that watch Fox News are very unlikely to change their minds. Especially given how utterly biased and unhinged a lot of the news coverage and commentary is on there.
I actually watch a lot of it just for the lolz. I often wonder whether Hannity gets eaten up inside by the relentless cycnical sneering he practices for hours and hours daily. It must be really hard to maintain such levels of consistent wankiness.
