8. What helps rachel is the newer younger viewers who are more likely

to watch her .

While fox's biggest supporters are older and not being replaced by new viewers as ther older ones die off.

9. Rachel has an excellent show. She's so smart....

and has a knack for breaking up a complicated set of facts, and presenting it so the ordinary person can follow the dots.

I hate to hear that CNN has taken such a hit, since I think that means that Trump's attacks on the free press have had an impact.

Trump doesn't go after MSNBC so much. I don't know why. The evening programs pretty much go after Trump regularly for his lies and criminal acts & such, so maybe that's it. They'd hit him even harder...like Morning Joe show did, after some tweets involving them. That backfired on Trump.

This is great news, though. I still don't get why Fox's numbers are so high. It really does actually LIE to the public.

10. I love this because not only does this mean people like Rachel,

... they are eager to hear what she has to say.

And I really love the way Fox viewership is down, however slightly.
