Ratings Dip Has Ailes "Pretty Agitated"
In A Q&A with B&C, FNC anchor Brit Hume offers his take on FNC's ratings dip:

What do you see as the problem with Fox News' ratings?

The news this year has been less compelling. There's a sameness about it. We're down some; others are down less. CNBC is, but it's starting from such a low number, it's like going from zero to 0.1.Fox News CEO Roger Ailes is pretty agitated.

Roger is an extremely competitive man. Roger doesn't just want to beat the competition, he wants to fling them down and dance on them. Roger is ferociously competitive. I like that attitude.

Also of interest from that interview -

How are you handicapping this election?

Historically, there's a shift in Congress after the president has been in office for six years. The big question is whether this is a garden-variety six-year change or something bigger.

Uh... BULLSHIT, Brit.

And, he lets slip where he gets his hottest tips:

Look at one of the most popular news and information sites on the Internet Drudge Report.

It's popular because it's well edited, in a smart way with good news judgment. Now they're scavenged from all kinds of sources. But they're making a lot of smart interesting choices. Whatever you think of Matt Drudge, you have to read it.

And the reason for his sliding ratings?

The news this year has been less compelling. There's a sameness about it.

Yeah, Brit - you've reported one brave American soldiers death, you've reported them all, huh, you bastard.

3. Yep. I guess after six years of * crimes, it does get a bit old, less compelling.

Just keep telling yourself that.
