They keep brining in these far right firebrands who turn viewers off and lead to the subsequent flight of advertisers, he latter making them notice and go "oh, shit" as they "sideline" the latest wingnut They don't seem to realize that people who like being lied to already watch Pox and won't switch and the traditional centrist and ever so slightly liberal viewers who were the core CBS viewers are going to switch to get away from right wing blather posing as news.

Conservatives seem wedded to trying the same losing strategy over and over again, blaming individuals instead of the fact that the wrong strategy is just never going to work--that's what makes it wrong.
