We have a pretty good idea why, but how long will this ratings shift last?

A few of Brian Stelter's points/reasons:
1) Fox focusing on Big Tech's censorship rather than on the terror threat we now face
2) Fox News shows going all in on conspiracies
3) Fox de-emphasizing news programs for opinion shows (that many of their viewers mistake for news)

If you're counting on this guy for answers, you might as well just ask anyone here.

The difference between a right wing conspiracy and the truth is about 20 months.

I was hoping for a more substantive discussion of Fox's issues such as moving their one evening news show (7PM East Coast) into the day time line up, as well as the network's decision to add opinion shows to their online content so that Fox viewers can watch Fox 24/7 without having to view actual news. Rather than having to digest factual stories, they can get the endorphin rush of being told what they want to hear rather than what they would need to hear in order to make an informed decision. It sounds like a few viewers are expanding their horizons. (By the way, I acknowledge that MSNBC doesn't have an actual news show in it's evening line up, but I would guess the viewers are getting more verifiable facts like, I don't know, no court anywhere ruled that there was any evidence of widespread voter fraud.)

Didn't Captain Catastrophe's ex-wife say that he kept a book of Hitler's speeches near his bed?
