Conservative Humor Fails (Again)

August 14th, 2007 3 Comments

Fox News has shelved (read: canceled) the Half Hour News Hour. Again, folks, the rule is: Funny first, politics second.

    I wonder, which liberal groups conservatives will blame this on?

    The first airing, February 18 was a hit, with more than 1.4 million viewers. The show averaged 258,000 viewers (25-54 demo) in its last 10 airings, winning its timeslot all but once.

    I don’t understand? If it was a “hit” on its initial airing, and it won its time slot every time with one exception, and appealed to that treasured 25-54 demographic then why, pray tell, would they “shelve it”?

    Seems odd to me. I mean, doesn’t that qualify it as a keeper?

    Could it be because the GOP label is held in such low esteem?
