They're more screwed by the rights fee deals but the talk show ratings are way down, even moreso than relative to past years and other channels.

It's mindbogglingly stupid to me that they push predominantly liberal politics on a sports channel when the average sports viewer is a white middle class male and sports viewership skews conservative as compared to the average American. When a hack like Clay Travis is (rightly) killing them over this, seems pretty easy to understand the issue.
