who are angry at the world and looking for places to put that anger, something Pox supplies very neatly and with jiggly blondes and whoosh noises.

That is a tough demographic to keep because they have the nasty habit of dying off.

Pox will have to pick up young viewers if it is to survive and to do that, they'll have to get rid of that pig Ailes.

Pox will survive, alas, but not quite the way we know and loathe it now.
