We Distort. You Decide (To Watch Something Else).

Here's something you won't hear on Fox News -- ratings for the cable news channel have been plummeting since before the November election.

According to TV Newser, the number of people watching Fox during prime time in the 25 to 54 age bracket dropped in April for the sixth straight month [i.e., a 58% net loss of viewership].

Why?

I believe the 19th century's preeminent Republican physicist, Abraham Lincoln, may have discovered the answer to that question in his seminal work, "The effects of deception in its interrelation with the time/people matrix."
