| Typical Fox News viewers. |
People, over time, tend to self-select. It's not always easy to pick where you live -- born in Detroit, die in Detroit, how'ya gonna get out -- or your job, which sucks but you gotta eat.
Eventually, people sort things out. Get a better job in Houston, and you're gone. Some things are easier to select, like the news you watch on the tube. If you're black, for example, you can only take so much Hannity and O'Reilly before you figure out they're not talking to you. So you move on.
On the other hand, if you're an alienated white who sees "the other" squeezing you in, why, Hannity and O'Reilly just make sense!
So 1 percent of Fox News' primetime viewers are black and 92 percent are white. It's no accident.
Now, what's the mix of voters? About 90 percent of the Republican Party are white, and less than 5 percent are black.
So, how does a news channel become the overwhelming choice of white people? Have you watched Fox News?
Oh, that's how it works.
