This is Carlson's quote:
"How shocked are we that 17 yr olds with rifles decided they have to maintain order when no one else would?".
Wtf is wrong with him ?!?!?! I'm gonna find out his advertisers and will come back and update. It's time to finish him off. His show is bleeding advertisers and a few more lost should do it.

(14,959 posts)are not effective in the end because they don't need top-shelf advertisers to make a profit, and when the top-shelf buyers pull out, the low-tier infomercial-style-schlock/scam kind of companies are just overjoyed to get lots of eyeball-time for low prices. And that is enough to keep the revenue rolling in.
Why don't they need decent advertisers to make a profit? Other cable news companies do...
Because FOXNews charges the cables companies a LOT more to carry their channel than other channels do. Like two or three or four times as much -- I don't recall the exact number.
So every person who pays Comcast or Charter or Dish Network, a percent or two or three of that bill gets kicked back to various channels. But FOXNews demands a bigger cut. Now let's say you are Comcast. Are you going to call their bluff and risk millions of people dropping your service because they get pissed off (as virtually every dedicated FOXNews watcher would do if their cable provider dropped them)? Or are you going to pay the higher price and keep your customers?I
FOXNews has brainwashed enough assholes that they don't need to bow to boycotts anymore.
