The squeaky wheel gets the oil.

For every viewer of those Fox programs there will be 10 others who agree with them.

re: #24 JC1

Those are tiny numbers, and cable TV political shows are watched by a tiny minority in general.

But those “tiny minority” are much larger than audiences for other shows (whether contemporary event or not.)

Again, my comment was in reference to why outlets like the NYT seem to bend over backwards to appeal to Trumping masses.

It’s because NYT is a business, and the biggest markets for “news” are the old white folk.
