MSNBC: by going right you are destroying your viewership

11. Seriously I think Rachel, Mika etc may be auditioning for post Roger Ailes jobs @ "New Fox"

There are a lot of stories suggesting that after the Ailes crisis Murdoch is going to appoint his two sons as the heads of Fox, and they are not (apparently) nearly as conservative as Ailes or Murdoch, and that they are very concerned that Fox is losing ratings while hemorrhaging viewers as they have a rapidly aging demographic (average viewer age is something unbelievable like 75 years of age) and NO appeal to millenials or Gen Xers.

Honestly I think some of these people at MSNBC (including two or three at CNN as well) are auditioning for spots at the "New Fox." Otherwise Rachel's bizarre march into this new territory is inexplicable. I mean Rachel was a RHODES SCHOLAR, and she is wasting her intellectual energy whining that Bill Clinton's very well-received speech was "offensive?!" Her "outrage" at Clinton's speech was frankly so absurd, and so out of the norm, that it was being referenced by conservative commentators as a sign of growing general insanity at MSNBC.
