for example
using the prime 25-54 demographic which is really the only one that sponsors really care about

eds ratings were 35% below cnn's the situation room
80% below faux news

if you use the 35-64 demo his ratings were 15% below cnn's and 70% below faux news

the simple fact is his ratings sucked. and thats why he was cancelled. no other reason
