Likewise, a couple criminal lawsuits against O'Lielly and Faux for chronic and unabated sexual harassment will eventually force him off the air.

Advertising knows this is uptick temporary, and that it's only a specific demographic of low-information Trumpeteers that are the basis for this uptick.
He's becoming less and less amusing to the actual long-time viewers with money to keep watching him, unless they're watching to see when the train finally wrecks.
