in all fairness, one could anticipate that a networks whose audience HATES all things (President) Obama would have scant viewership of President Obama's second Inauguration.

They can tune into beck or rush to get their outraged talking points, without having to actually watch the PRESIDENT (again).

But the other indicators do point to the death of a media giant. Which I find quite amusing, since they claim to worship at the alter of "the market" ... and "the market" is speaking quite loudly.
