And the beat (down) goes on.
Fox News Nabs Historic Cable Ratings Victory
9/30/2014 by Michael O'Connell
No one would say the summer of 2014 suffered any shortage of breaking news.
From the crisis in Ferguson, Mo., to the cultural impact of Robin Williams' and Joan Rivers' sudden deaths and all the way up to recent round-the-clock coverage of U.S. strikes on ISIS, cable news has been heavily occupied. The last three months have been so big, Fox News Channel just clocked its first quarter with the most-watched primetime across all of cable in more than a decade — even besting USA and ESPN.
The average 1.79 million viewers between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m., Monday through Friday, gave FNC its first quarter atop the dial since the Iraq War broke out in 2003. Expanding that block by an hour, which includes Greta Van Susteren at 7 p.m., FNC was the most watched in primetime for the first time ever. And in the targeted demographic of adults 25-54, FNC was up 12 percent from the same period a year ago, with an average 313,000 viewers.
It's the last time the cable network will be compared to its previous primetime. Oct. 7 marks the one-year anniversary of FNC revamping a decade-old lineup with Megyn Kelly's move to 9 p.m. The third quarter marked Kelly's best since launch, up a significant 27 percent (year over year) in the time period previously occupied by Sean Hannity. (Hannity, who airs at 10 p.m., enjoyed a high of his own).
Bill O'Reilly remained the top performer across cable news, despite Kelly's advances, and 14 FNC shows continued to sit atop the cable news roster — while the only other network to see year-to-year improvement, CNN, saw a rather unexpected series perched atop its own rankings. Documentary series The Sixties stands as CNN's most-watched show of the quarter, edging pasting Anderson Cooper with an average 650,000 viewers — 186,000 of them in the key demo. After ratings spikes for the anchor's on-the-ground coverage of Ferguson, his show ranked as CNN's top show in the demo.
CNN's gains from the comparable quarter last year were modest, but they were still gains. Its 186,000 adults 18-49 in primetime (8-11 p.m.) marked a 4 percent improvement and even outpaced MSNBC — now back in third place. MSNBC, still holding slight second-place edge in total viewers, was down 21 percent in the key demo compared to last year. Pulling just an average 150,000 adults 25-54 in primetime, it meant quarterly lows for Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell in the key demo.
The wondrous anomaly of Shark Tank encores also continues. With the ABC reality competition in heavy off-net rotation on CBNBC, those repeats are outperforming much of cable news and ranking No. 14 in primetime where adults 25-54 are concerned — besting every telecast on MSNBC.
Third-Quarter 2014 Primetime Averages
FNC: 1,797,000 viewers, up 12 percent (313,000 adults 25-54, up 12 percent)
CNN: 555,000 viewers, up 2 percent (186,000 adults 25-54, up 4 percent)
MSNBC: 557,000 viewers, down 2 percent (150 adults 25-54, down 21 percent)
HLN: 352,000 viewers, down 4 percent (120 adults 25-54, down 12 percent)

They are all doing pretty poorly.
More people watch wrestling every week.
Monday's episode of WWE RAW, with Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella in the main event spot for the second week in a row, drew 4.048 million viewers, down 6% from last week's 4.318 million viewers.

MSNBC Ratings Nosedive Includes Lowest Numbers Ever for Maddow
Monday, 13 Oct 2014
By Andrea Billups
Ratings at the left-leaning MSNBC cable network continue to fall, according to the New York Times, which describes the decline as "one of the deepest skids in its history."
Even the network's star, Rachel Maddow, has seen viewership drop, marking her lowest quarterly ratings since she began, the Times noted.
While Ronan Farrow's afternoon show has consistently failed to gain traction, even with much promotion, well-known programming like "Morning Joe" has also dipped, scoring its "second-lowest quarterly ratings," according to the Times.
“This has been a tough year all around,” Phil Griffin, MSNBC's president told the Times in noting his network wasn't alone in marking a tough quarter. “All three cable news channels are drawing a smaller combined audience than they were five years ago.”
Griffin also pointed to a national political weariness as pervasive gridlock in Washington has angered many across the country. “You can look at the dysfunction in Washington, the wariness about politics, the low approval ratings,” Griffin added to the Times. “That’s had an impact. But we’ve got to adjust; we’ve got to evolve.”
Ratings at competitor networks that produce similar political coverage, however, have not seen such a drop-off.
After reconfiguring its programming line-up, Fox News has shown dominance, rising to land "among the top five highest-rated networks 96 percent of the time," the Daily Caller noted, citing data from Nielsen Media Research.
Fox News's new prime time star, Megyn Kelly, has also owned her 9 p.m. time slot, averaging 2.5 million nightly viewers over the past year and rising 36 percent in total viewers over the last quarter, the Daily caller noted.
But the Associated Press noted that Fox's network dropped 29 percent over last year's ratings for the fall prime time television lineup, even as CBS, NBC and ABC had all seen fall lineup increases in prime time viewing.
Special: Doctors Using Magnesium to Reverse Diabetes
Last week's ratings showed that ESPN reigned as the most popular cable network with 3.75 million prime time viewers, followed by TBS (3.12 million) the Disney Channel (1.88 million), USA (1.8 million) and Fox News (1.69 million), the AP noted. The evening newscast leaders were ABC's "World News" followed by NBC's "Nightly News" and then "CBS Evening News."

Nobody is watching MSNBC. Yet somehow they keep tricking a nation that is about 60% "self-identified" conservative into voting 53% to 47% for the biggest liberal in the Senate. Twice.
No, can't have it both ways. If you entire party is doomed by 3 tv stations, then by golly, the majority of the population is 75 IQ that can be tricked into voting against their own core beliefs... by something that less than 1% of the nation is watching?
Either we're a majority liberal nation (even if people won't admit it)? Or what? You can't say MSM is dead, nobody watches, but they're swaying 10% of the population while only 1% (mostly dem base anyway) watches that drivel.

I think many people are either just dog tired of the bullshit the main outlets spew all the time, or theyre getting their news on the internet from other sources.
I know a huge chunk of the age 25-40 employees at my work all get their news online from alternative sources...... Breitbart, Huffpo, Drudgr, Blaze, RT, zerohedge, etc.

Alternative online media is where the future is at. That almost goes without saying at this point.
Rightys still will tune in to Fox and Lefties to the Comedy channel for their television news/commentary but by and large the young crowd will be going more and more directly to those very sites for their non-television reading.

LOL! I see the problem now! Drudge and HuffPro are the TOP news outlets for the Right and the Left.
It's not alternative news, not by a mile lol. Move to raw story or even prisonplanet if you want shit that isn't hand-fed by corporate interests.
LOL @ Huff Pro, the default AOL news service, being independent. And Drudges? LOL!!!

i didnt say independent there genius, i said alternative, as in, an alternative to the maonstream CABLE NEWS channels. Reading comprehension Rob, reading comprehension.
99% of Americans will never put any stock in true independent, underground news channels.

drudge and foxnews.com ain't that much different lol.
huffpro and msnbc are note-for-note, most of the time.
"Alternative" doesn't count once they sell stock, are worth hundreds of millions, and owned by the bank, not owned by a group of free thinkers who want to reveal truth. You think HuffPro would show us a GE exposeee? LOL!! Do you think Drudge would show us a newscorp exposee? lolololol
They're not alternatives. They're corporate. maybe they WERE, but not now.

Dude. Theyre alternative in the fact that they take ratings from fox, msnbc, and cnn. No one ever said they werent corporate.
Stop trying to argue semantics just to argue. The employees at my work dont watch msnbc, cnn, fox, etc, because theyre getting their news from alternative sources like drudge, huffpo, etc.
Those sites are taking ratings from the mainstream canbles channels. Thats what i saidx theres nothing there to argue about. It doesnt matter what their content is, this thread was about ratings and my comments reflected that.
Christ Rob.

You could say the same about a number of fast food companies. I've seen them all over the world.
Perhaps Fox has been killing other networks because they're just better at delivering the news and opinion shows. At least that's what I told one of my very good liberal friends when he used that precise McDonalds analogy.

agreed. half of the population has an IQ below 100. And elderly lose more brain cells each year as a result of the aging process.
There's a lot of 92 IQ people with venom in their veins (from both parties, but toss in the aging thing and the dumb do tend to lean older). FOX is an amazing outlet for them. Obama is the ultimate bad guy. it's a wonderful marriage, and FOX doesn't want it to end over impeachment.

Everything I said there is accurate. 100 is the average IQ. And half the people around us are of below average IQ.
The brain stops firing as one ages. Sucks, and crossword puzzles help, but at 90, we're not what we were at 30. Sorry, thems' just facts.
do older people enjoy spoon-fed feel-good tv to help them cope with frustration of aging? Definitely. FOX gives them that.

You don't know "the facts" about average people, or their intelligence, or what constitutes true intelligence, because you don't interact with average people and you're not a well read person. That is patently obvious by reading what you post on the board.
I recall reading on here years ago how you said most people are stupid. Irony.

you answered your own question with your first word in the response.
"Perhaps"
perhaps they're not just better but more entertaining; who doesn't love it when Hannity and Judge Jeanine start shouting into the camera; and steve doocy making a fool by not reading the teleprompter correctly. its the morning version of comedy central with F and F gets rolling.

Do you really believe that? For example, do you think Megyn Kelly is just flat out superior to Rachel Maddow? Across the board. Content, humor, honesty, eye candy, etc.

No, Megyn is not flat out superior to Rachel.
Rachel is better educated and, more importantly, can almost surely kick Megyn's ass in a physical fight. Maddow is 5'11" and played 3 sports in high school (Basketball, volleyball, swimming) whereas Megyn is 5'6" and was the head cheerleader in high school. Both women are in their 40's but Maddow is 3 years younger than Megyn.
BTW, considering the tiny percentage of the population that regularly watches any and all TV news these days, who really cares which is more popular? People who want to know how folks that don't have internet access get their news?
-
I was shocked to see just how far MSNBC has fallen.
It has always pretty much been Fox in first place with CNN and MSNBC vying for 2nd place but CNN has been leaving them in the dust here recently it seems.

Megyn is a lawyer. Is Rachel a "career student" or something? Going beyond a JD in formal education has got to be pretty pointless.

Career student? Do you really not know that both are well-known professional TV hosts and political commentators?
Both are very accomplished and near the top of their fields, for sure.
But, pointless or not, Rachel's educational accomplishments (Rhodes Scholarship with a PhD from Oxford University) would seem to be superior to Megyn's (JD from Albany Law School), wouldn't you say?

I know who the fuck they are, jerkoff. Is Madrow one of those people who is always taking classes, etc? Nothing wrong with that, and yes such an academic record is impressive. But common sense and other things such as success, responsibility, the ability to get along with others, a firm grasp of reality, etc are just as important, if not moreso IMO.

I don't think what they did in high school is relevant to what they're doing in their 40s, twenty years later ::), but since you obviously looked at their backgrounds why did you misrepresent Megyn Kelly's background?

Mea culpa, BB. I missed Megyn's field hockey and BB experience in high school. Turns out she was an aerobics instructor between the ages of 16 and 26, also.
Based on the size advantage, I still think Maddow can probably beat up Megyn in the cage but Megyn, based on cardio as a former aerobics instructor might have a chance in the ring, lol.
Why do you think Maddow is not better educated, though?
Maddow:
- Bachelor's in Public Policy at Stanford University in 1994
- Awarded John Gardener Fellowship (Annually 6 are chosen, 3 from Stanford and 3 from UC Berkeley, from graduation seniors to encourage pursuit of careers in public and community service.)
- Awarded Rhodes Scholarship
- Doctorate in Political Science from Oxford University in 2001
Kelly:
- Bachelor's in Political Science from Syracuse University in 1991 or 1992 (?)
- J.D. (Juris Doctor) from Albany Law School in 1995
--was associate editor of Albany Law Review

Fox News Obliterates The Competition With Election Night Coverage
...more viewers than any competitor...
NORVELL ROSE — NOVEMBER 6, 2014
As the extent of the Democrats midterm massacre continues to be evaluated at federal, state and local levels around the country, the scope of a different election-night outcome is already known — a decisive media victory. And what a victory it was for Fox News.
The cable network’s coverage of the returns literally wiped out the competition — topping even the broadcast networks’ special reports on the midterm results.
One can only imagine that network executives at NBC, CBS and ABC must be wondering what in the world happened…and what’s ahead in their ratings battle with the increasingly dominant cable news giant.
And as for the cable competition for Fox News — judging by election-night audience numbers, it was literally no contest. The ratings for MSNBC and CNN combined didn’t stand up to the Fox News journalistic juggernaut.
Via TV ratings watchdog mediabistro.com:
Fox News Channel was the most-watched network — on broadcast and on cable — during coverage of the midterm elections. Fox News beat CNN and MSNBC in both total viewers and the A25-54 demo, combined during primetime hours.
The New York Times article on the TV ratings, as one might expect, started off with an observation that could be interpreted as trying to diminish the election-night viewer dominance for the Fox News net:
With interest down sharply across the board in television coverage of the midterm elections, Fox News had about as big a night as the Republican Party, drawing the biggest audience not only in cable but also beating the broadcast networks’ limited coverage.
But then the Times report goes on to note the extraordinary accomplishment of Fox News in head-to-head competition:
In the 10 p.m. hour, which was the only one where the news divisions of the broadcast networks covered the results, Fox had more viewers than any competitor, with 6.6 million. CBS News was next with only 5.4 million. Fox also had the edge in the age group results with 1.825 million viewers to 1.548 million for CBS.
The cynics at deadline.com played up the “comedy” of election-night news:
Comedy was a leitmotif of the coverage — not surprising in a saturated news marketplace where all the unhappy hawkers are competing for the next generation of 25-54 year olds, or — as, someone or other said last night, the next generation of voters once they too become really old.
And the image deadline.com chose to illustrate its point about serious news nets going for the laugh — the so-called “campaign cowboys” on Fox:

The New York Times article on the TV ratings, as one might expect, started off with an observation that could be interpreted as trying to diminish the election-night viewer dominance for the Fox News net:
With interest down sharply across the board in television coverage of the midterm elections, Fox News had about as big a night as the Republican Party, drawing the biggest audience not only in cable but also beating the broadcast networks’ limited coverage.
But then the Times report goes on to note the extraordinary accomplishment of Fox News in head-to-head competition:
In the 10 p.m. hour, which was the only one where the news divisions of the broadcast networks covered the results, Fox had more viewers than any competitor, with 6.6 million. CBS News was next with only 5.4 million. Fox also had the edge in the age group results with 1.825 million viewers to 1.548 million for CBS.
The cynics at deadline.com played up the “comedy” of election-night news:
Comedy was a leitmotif of the coverage — not surprising in a saturated news marketplace where all the unhappy hawkers are competing for the next generation of 25-54 year olds, or — as, someone or other said last night, the next generation of voters once they too become really old.
And the image deadline.com chose to illustrate its point about serious news nets going for the laugh — the so-called “campaign cowboys” on Fox:

Fox Heats Up: Megyn Kelly #1 in November; Bret Baier Beats ABC In Five Big Cities
By Tim Graham | December 4, 2014
MediaBistro’s Fishbowl DC blog reported good ratings numbers for Fox News Channel. A limited sampling of five markets showed Special Report with Bret Baier “surpassed ABC’s World News Tonight with David Muir in five key markets across the country in household viewers including Baltimore, Jacksonville, Ft. Myers, Providence and St. Louis.” Baier also beat CBS and Scott Pelley in the Atlanta and Austin markets.
Their TV Newser blog also reported big news for Megyn Kelly. In November, for the first time ever, The Kelly File was the number one show on cable in the coveted 25-to-54 demographic. “The last time a host other than Bill O’Reilly has won the demo was in Oct. 2012, when the 10pmET hour, which included presidential debates, was No. 1.”
CNN Tonight (with Don Lemon), Hannity, and Special Report with Bret Baier rounded out the Top 5 shows in the 25-to-54 group. Overall:
Fox News Channel was the second most-watched cable channel, only topped by ESPN, in the month of November. FNC saw slight +2% growth for total day viewing, but experienced double-digit (+20%) growth in the [Adults] A25-54 demo in primetime. FNC delivered its highest rated month since May 2013 in total viewers and April 2013 in the A25-54 demo, when the Boston Marathon bombing occurred.
America’s Newsroom, Happening Now, The Five and Special Report with Bret Baier all had their best months in two years, since Nov. 2012. On the Record with Greta Van Susteren and Hannity each had their best months in both viewers and the A25-54 demo since settling into new timeslots in Oct. 2013.
In contrast to Megyn Kelly, “The Rachel Maddow Show was MSNBC’s highest-rated show in both categories, ranking 17th in total viewers and 20th in the demo.”

MSNBC Host Chris Hayes Reluctantly Admits Fox News Is Most Trusted News Network
Hayes claims Fox tells their viewers that MSM is sneering, spitting, and laughing at them
TOM HINCHEY — MARCH 13, 2015
On Wednesday night’s All In with Chris Hayes, the namesake host explained why the Fox News Channel is the most trusted national news channel, according to a Quinnipiac University poll.
There is a reason Fox News keeps being ranked as the most trusted news source in these polls; and it is connected to the reason that Fox is as profitable and as highly rated as it is, which in turn is tied to both the media landscape and the way liberals and conservatives consume media.
Hayes attempted to illustrate why Fox News continues to dominate the news landscape by posing an analogy whereas Americans could vote for one out of six presidential candidates in an “open election.” He pitted Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, John Kerry, Al Gore, and Mike Huckabee in this fantasy election. Hayes concluded that Huckabee would win the election, not because he is the most popular candidate of the six, but because the five liberals would split the vote to the point that no one person would garner the majority.
And that is exactly the way the media landscape looks in this country right now. You have one national TV news outlet that conservatives watch – Fox News – and a whole bunch of news outlets that everyone else watches.
The Quinnipiac poll showed that 29 percent of the respondents trust Fox News, while 57 percent is split among MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS News. Hayes claims that Fox News’ strategy is to convince their viewers that the mainstream news outlets mislead them and mock them.

Also, Fox's has it core audience of old people who actually have the time to watch TV during the day and early evening (and a really low share of 25-54 year segment) and if they are watching Fox they are already voting Repub

Repubs often blame "the lamestream media" for "brainwashing people" into voting democrat.
They don't realize that more than 50.1% of the nation is actually liberal-minded, and prefers a govt to spoonfeed them $ and ideas and mindless entertainment. They don't realize that fewer than 50% of americans embody conservative ideals. It's generation selfie, and they won't admit it - they just keep saying the TV is tricking otherwise intelligent traditional, conservative people into voting (D) with their lies.
Then, they say nobody watches lib media anymore. They want it both ways. I think Obama won big twice because 52 or 53% of americans are fckig liberal, period.

That tells me the WWE has nothing to do with Rachel Maddow having a lousy political opinion show and Megyn Kelly beating the crap out of her.
And that you liberal hacks go to great lengths to try and explain why the no. 1 liberal station on TV is horrible, with the ratings to prove it.

Report: More News, Less Opinion for Ratings Stinker MSNBC
Thursday, 19 Mar 2015
By Andrea Billups
Deeper shake-ups are ahead for MSNBC as ratings have dipped for the liberal-leaning television network, putting it in last place behind news competitors like Fox News, CNN and even HLN, Politico reported.
Daytime viewership dipped 21 percent this year alone, while prime time fell off 24 percent overall. Perhaps more telling, daytime viewership is down 41 percent among what television networks view as the golden demographic, the 25- to 54-year-olds, and has fallen off 42 percent for that same group in prime time, Politico said.
The sagging numbers mark MSNBC's lowest since 2005.
MSNBC President Phil Griffin told his staff that the outlook was poor in a memo sent out in December warning of problems.
Sources told Politico that "every program is at risk of being moved or cancelled," even though such well-knowns as "The Rachel Maddow Show" and "Morning Joe" are likely to be fine. But already shows like "Ronan Farrow Daily" and the "Reid Report" have gotten the ax.
"The plan is to re-imagine what the channel is, because the current lineup is a death wish," a top NBCUniversal source privy to the network's shake-up plans told Politico.
New NBC News Group Chairman Andrew Lack is expected to remedy the left-leaning focus of programming and return to more news coverage and less opinion banter, Politico said. The network announced his return earlier this month, The New York Times reported.
Lack's hire shows the deeper issues he must fix, which includes boosting "Today" show ratings and also re-imagining "Meet the Press," the Times said.
"You bring in a seasoned veteran to stabilize the ship, and that is what Andy Lack is," University of Maryland Professor Mark Feldstein told the Times. "They realize that the problem was deeper than just one anchor monster."
Some media critics have theorized that MSNBC's ratings have dipped in correlation to President Barack Obama's popularity, a notion embraced by conservatives, Salon said.

The MSNBC ratings keep getting worse
By DYLAN BYERS
3/31/15
Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for MSNBC, along came the quarterly ratings reports.
In both daytime and prime time, MSNBC endured its lowest quarterly demo numbers in a decade, and its total viewership since the final quarter of 2007. Prime-time viewership was down 45 percent in the demo from the first quarter of 2014, while daytime viewership was down 39 percent in the demo.
On Tuesday, while Fox News and CNN were boasting their own quarterly numbers -- Fox News remained dominant, CNN made major strides in the demo -- MSNBC chose to focus on the month of March instead, where it boasted gains in prime time and a victory for "Morning Joe" over CNN's "New Day."
But things are still looking grim for MSNBC: Between the hours of 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Monday, for instance, more people were watching Al Jazeera America than MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, Thomas Roberts and "The Cycle."
As we reported in mid-March, MSNBC is now planning a major reorganization of its lineup to stem the ratings losses. In the months ahead, high-level sources at NBCUniversal told us, the network is likely to shake up the bulk of its programming, moving some shows and canceling others.
You can read my full report on MSNBC's ratings woes, on the coming changes, here.

MSNBC ratings plummet to lowest in 10 years
By Thomas Lifson
May 15, 2015
Wednesday was a terrible day for MSNBC, though in fairness there hasn’t been a good day for a long, long time. The Comcast-controlled cable news outlet had its worst day in ten years. Mediaite (hat tip: Powerline) provides charts for the prime demo (25-54) and total ratings, demonstrating how bad things have gotten for the out and proud leftist outlet:

(http://admin.americanthinker.com/images/bucket/2015-05/194581_5_.png)
Watching Morning Joe today, there is no evidence that MSNBC has learned its lesson. A panel discussing the impact of George Stephanopoulos’s undisclosed donations to the Clinton Foundation solemnly agreed that the real problem now was going to be hard tough he would have to be interviewing Democrats, to prove his lack of bias.
Of course Comcast can afford to carry a low performing cable news subsidiary based on its rich profits from as a cable provider, so MSNBC may continue it course.

'On The Record' Host Greta Van Susteren leaves Fox News
Mike Snider, USA TODAY
September 6, 2016
Greta Van Susteren, host of Fox News' On the Record since 2002, is leaving the network.
The longtime host of the nightly news show will be replaced, starting today, by senior political analyst Brit Hume, the network said.
"Yes, I have left the Fox News Channel. On Thursday night, I made my decision and informed Fox News of my decision that I was leaving Fox News Channel per my contract," Van Susteren said Tuesday on her Facebook page. "Fox has not felt like home to me for a few years and I took advantage of the clause in my contract which allows me to leave now."
The clause in her contract "had a time limitation, meaning I could not wait," she continued. "I love my staff, I love my colleagues, and I love the crews. That is the hardest part of this decision as they are wonderful people. And most of all? I love the viewers -- even the ones who have gotten mad at me over the years and taken swipes."
Van Susteren added that "I hope to continue my career in broadcasting."
Fox Network co-presidents Jack Abernethy and Bill Shine in a joint statement: “We are grateful for Greta's many contributions over the years and wish her continued success."
Van Susteren's departure comes on the same day that Fox News Channel's parent company Twenty-First Century Fox, agreed to pay $20 million to former Fox anchor Gretchen Carlson to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit she filed against former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.
Her departure "had nothing to do with the settlement today,” the network said in a statement USA TODAY.
A financial disagreement between the network and Van Susteren was involved in her departure, said a person familiar to the situation.
Van Susteren joined Fox in 2002 after more than a decade as a legal analyst at CNN. She gained notoriety for her on-air analysis of the O.J. Simpson trial. At CNN, she co-hosted Burden of Proof with Roger Cossack and later hosted her own show, The Point.
In July, Van Susteren told The Daily Beast that she had a "long-term deal," but should she ever lose her Fox show she would be interested in re-entering the legal field or teaching at Georgetown University, where she earned master's and doctorate degrees in law.
Hume joined Fox News in 1996 after 23 years at ABC News, where he was the network's chief White House correspondent for the last seven years. He will anchor the show throughout the election season. "I am happy to take on this assignment for the balance of this extraordinary election," he said in a statement.
On Twitter, Hume said that he was "sorry to see Greta go. I count her as a friend ... I hope I won't drive her audience off."

Fox News is No. 1 cable news network for 63rd straight quarter
By Brian Flood, Fox News
Fox News Channel finished the third quarter of 2017 as the most-watched cable news network across the board for the 63rd consecutive quarter, dating back to the first quarter of 2002.
Rupert Murdoch’s news network averaged 1.4 million total viewers and 2.2 million viewers during prime time to win both categories. FNC also won both categories among the key news demo of adults ages 25-54, averaging 298,000 total demo viewers and 436,000 from 8-11 p.m. ET.
FNC also was the top-rated basic cable network in both prime time and total day viewers, for the fifth straight quarter.
Fox News’ overall quarterly victory comes amidst a prime-time lineup change that is expected to help the network’s ratings even more. “Hannity” moved to 9 p.m. ET on Monday, while “The Five” shifted back to its original time of 5 p.m. ET, where it was regularly among the most-watched shows in all of cable. Laura Ingraham and Shannon Bream take over the 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET positions late next month, giving the network a strong female duo in prime time and adding an extra hour of live programming in the process.
The quarter was jam-packed with news, including the G20 Summit and related protests; a solar eclipse; O.J. Simpson’s parole hearing; the tragic events that occurred in Charlottesville, Va.; a terror attack in Barcelona; numerous devastating hurricanes and non-stop news on North Korea, Russia, health care and DACA. President Trump also made news on a daily basis and the quarter ended with cable news stations going all-in on the controversy surrounding NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.
“The Rachel Maddow Show” became the first program in MSNBC history to finish as the most-watched show in cable news among both total viewers and the demo for an entire quarter. Maddow averaged 2.7 million total viewers and 606,000 viewers between ages 25-54.
Among total viewers, Maddow picked up a win for the first time ever. Among other cable news programs, Fox News had six of the Top 10 programs among total viewers, while MSNBC has three other programs finish among the 10 most-watched cable news shows. The most-watched show on the liberal CNN was ”Anderson Cooper 360,” which finished at No. 21, behind 13 different FNC programs.
Maddow finished atop the demo for the second consecutive quarter. Her new competitor, “Hannity,” finished second followed by “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and “The Five.” CNN’s most popular show among younger viewers was Cooper, who finished sixth overall.
“Fox & Friends" dominated mornings, averaging 1.5 million viewers and 343,000 in the demo, compared to 1 million and 237,000 for MSNBC’s “Morning Joe." CNN’s “New Day” averaged only 643,000 viewers and 228,000 between ages 25-54.
FNC’s sister station, Fox Business Network, ended the third quarter as the No. 1 rated business network, marking the first time ever the network has outpaced rival CNBC in business day viewers for four consecutive quarters. FBN grew 26 percent from last year among business day viewers, while CNBC saw a 14 percent decline over the same time period.

Rachel Maddow Ends August As No. 1 In Cable News
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow had the most-watched show in cable news in August, ending the month with 2.783 million total viewers, according to data released by Nielsen Media Research. It was Maddow's second month in a row as No. 1.
Maddow narrowly beat Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity, who had 2.679 million total viewers. The remaining shows in the top five for the month were Fox News' Tucker Carlson (2.483 million), MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell (2.352 million) and Fox News' The Five (2.351 million). Maddow was also first among adults 25-54, the critical demographic to advertisers.

Hannity’s first ratings against Rachel Maddow are in — and it’s not even close

The first ratings are in since Fox News’ Sean Hannity moved to the 9 p.m. time slot to square off against MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, and the competition isn’t even close.
Who won in the ratings?
Hannity trounced the liberal fan favorite Maddow with 3.27 million average viewers, while Maddow garnered 2.66 million viewers, according to the Nielsen data. In the key 25-54 viewer demographic, Hannity’s show received 666,000 viewers while Maddow’s show received 591,000.
When compared to Anderson Cooper’s show on CNN, Hannity performed even better. Cooper garnered less than half of Hannity’s viewers, with 1.45 million, and 470,000 in the key demographic.
Hannity also rated as the most watched cable news program for Monday.
Any bad news for Fox?
Although Hannity outperformed Maddow on Monday, the big picture for the quarter is less rosy. Fox News is down 12 percent in prime time from the same quarter last year, while MSNBC is up 43 percent.
Maddow also had the top cable news program for the quarter in total viewers and the key demo. CNN had the most total viewers in the total day count for the third quarter in its history.
Despite its competitors gaining some ground on Fox News, they can still boast 63 consecutive weeks as the highest-rated cable news channel in total viewers.

To be fair, Fox has the right all to itself, but the other two have to split the left.
As I've said, it's an industry in decline for all the networks. Most tech savvy people have moved on already from television. I think the last network television show that I watched on a regular basis was Seinfeld and I'm a middle-aged guy. The younger generation doesn't even have a cord to cut. The last time I actually tuned into to a major network was to see the Kentucky Derby, and watching the commercials for their prime time shows I felt like I had gone back in time.
The news networks got a pop from the election but it hasn't lasted:

Hannity beats Maddow in first week of 9 p.m. showdown
Aided by big-name guests Bannon, O'Reilly and Limbaugh, the conservative wins the first battle of the cable firebrands.
By JASON SCHWARTZ
09/29/2017
In the first week of the head-to-head battle between Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow, the conservative heavyweight drew significantly higher ratings than his liberal counterpart.
Fox News moved Hannity’s show from 10 p.m. to 9 p.m. as part of a broader shakeup of its prime-time line-up, designed in part to counter a dramatic ratings surge by rival MSNBC, led by Maddow, the biggest ratings winner of the Trump era.
Hannity pulled out all the stops, bringing in Steve Bannon, Bill O’Reilly, Paul Ryan and Rush Limbaugh to boost his numbers. It appears to have worked: The Fox News pundit pulled in an average of 3,498,000 viewers from Monday through Thursday, with 713,000 in the key adult 25-54 demographic, according to early Nielsen figures.
Maddow averaged 2,649,000 viewers, with 599,000 adults 25-54. CNN’s 9 p.m. hour — which usually features Anderson Cooper’s “AC360,” but this week had two special town halls — finished third, with 1,173,000 viewers and 416,000 in the key demographic.
Representatives from Fox News and MSNBC declined to comment.
Hannity’s big numbers allow Fox News to claim bragging rights and, for the moment, grab back the 9 p.m. crown from MSNBC.
On Tuesday, MSNBC announced that “The Rachel Maddow Show” had finished the third quarter as the top cable news program in total viewers (2.7 million) and adults 25-54 (606,000), according to Nielsen. It was the first time an MSNBC show has claimed that title for a quarter. The show’s Nielsen ratings had shot up 75 percent compared with the same period last year, leading MSNBC to its best ratings quarter ever.
Overall, though, for the 63rd straight quarter, Fox News was still the most watched cable news network, even with a schedule that has been in flux since the departures of Megyn Kelly in January and Bill O’Reilly in April, when he was forced out amid allegations of sexual harassment. Hannity’s move to 9 p.m. cleared the way for a new show for conservative commentator Laura Ingraham at 10 p.m., set to launch Oct. 30.
“The Five,” which had been occupying Fox News’ 9 p.m. slot since O’Reilly’s ouster, finished the third quarter behind Maddow, with 2.3 million viewers and 486,000 adults 25-54, according to Nielsen. It has since returned to its 5 p.m. time slot. CNN’s “AC360” was a distant third, with 1.2 million viewers and 403,000 in the key demographic.
In the third quarter, Hannity averaged 2.5 million viewers at 10 p.m. (533,000 adults 25-54), per Nielsen. The figure trailed Maddow, though the 10 p.m. hour typically has fewer viewers than 9 p.m. So, when Fox News announced that Hannity was moving back to 9, headlines buzzed about a showdown between him and his liberal foil.
Gemma Puglisi, a professor at American University’s School of Communication, said that once a ratings pattern is established, there will be value in the bragging rights. Whoever comes out No. 1 will benefit from added buzz and have an easier time attracting new viewers, predicted Puglisi, who worked many years, partly as a producer, at NBC News, and also had brief stints at both CNN and Fox News.
“I think this kind of battle is fueling people to watch,” she said. “Everybody likes winners.”

Megyn Kelly gets thumbs down from critics
By JASON SCHWARTZ
According to television analysts, however, it would be a mistake to overreact to Hannity’s good week. Moreover, they say, when it comes to advertising, the rivalry has only limited impact.
“I wouldn’t make a lot out of it,” Joseph Bonner, a senior analyst for communications and technology at Argus Research, said of the ratings. He emphasized that just one week isn’t enough to draw conclusions and noted that Hannity’s high profile guests likely helped goose his ratings. “Certainly bragging rights, but I don’t think MSNBC is going to be canceling Maddow or anything.”
More broadly, the ratings competition between Maddow and Hannity has little impact on advertising, according to Scott Robson, an analyst at research firm Kagan. While it’s fun for the networks to battle head to head, he said, the audiences for Hannity and Maddow are so different that the two shows aren’t directly competing for advertisers.
Just 21 percent of Fox News or MSNBC viewers ever tune into the rival network, according to Kagan’s numbers. “It’s normally a lot higher if you look at any other networks,” Robson said. “There’s not that big of an audience duplication there.”
He added that only five advertisers run commercials on both shows: AARP, AT&T, CenturyLink, Gain detergent and National Car Rental. Both Hannity and Maddow feature their fair share of pharmaceutical and insurance spots, but Robson said advertisers are almost certainly using internal data to cater to each show’s viewer base. Shifts in ratings, he said, were unlikely to cause a drug company to shift its ad for a particular drug from Hannity to Maddow or vice-versa.
Robson added that Hannity was likely aided this week by strong conservative interest in the Republican Senate special election runoff in Alabama. “There’s still many more shows to go and I’m sure that as the news shifts and guests change, we could see the dynamics go back and forth,” he said.
According to Brian Wieser, a senior analyst at Pivotal Research, if anyone should be worried, it’s CNN. Given the general growth in the cable news audience, he said, “CNN is significantly underperforming, Fox News is performing roughly in line, and MSNBC is growing dramatically.”
Despite finishing in third, a CNN insider pointed to 23 percent overall growth — and 32 percent in adults 25-54 — in the 9 p.m. hour from a year ago and the substance of the network’s programming, including a town hall this week on NFL player protests.
“This isn’t a zero sum game,” the insider said. “The partisan networks do what they do, while this week CNN had more reporters on the ground covering the humanitarian crises in Puerto Rico and had an incredibly informative and smart town hall.”

‘Hannity’ Tops Cable News In October With Second Largest Crowd Ever After Move Back To 9 PM
by Lisa de Moraes
October 31, 2017
Back in his original 9PM ET timeslot, Sean Hannity’s Fox News Channel program was the most-watched cable news program for the month of October, delivering 3.2 million total viewers and 686K in the 25-54 news demographic. In total viewers, that’s Hannity’s second largest haul ever, and up 15% compared to same month last year. In the demo, Hannity jumped 27% in its first full month back at 9 PM

Hannity was sent back to 9 PM to battle MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show, which had risen to the top of the cable news ratings ladder. Maddow’s October’s stats – 2.5M viewers and 558K news-demo viewers – put her in third place, also behind FNC’s 8 PM ET Bill O’Reilly replacement Tucker Carlson Tonight (2.82M viewers, 581K news demo viewers).
Meanwhile, all of the cable news nets primetimes dropped for the month of October, compared to last year, what with October 2016 having included the final presidential debate/Election Day walk-up.
For FNC, that meant a 26% decline in total viewers (to 2.26M) and a 28% news-demo dropp (to 477K).
CNN took the biggest hit: down 52% in total viewers (to 919K) and down 54% in the key age bracket (to 325K).
MSNBC weathered the change best, declining 6% in the demo (to 1.58M) and 19% in the demo (to 349K).

Yeah, not a company man....not the guy that backed Bush's buddy Cruz when reality and his own audience was beating him over the head that Trump was just winning everywhere and going to be the obvious nominee. Stopped listening after all that. He took money to back Cruz is the only explanation I can tell. Also, if I recall he was a huge Sessions fanboy and all that Sessions has done is protect himself.

Well, you probably should have kept listening....
He backed Cruz because he has a proven track record of conservatism. Backed Trump over Hillary for the election and stands up for him/praises him when needed and gets all over him when needed as well. Kind of hilarious how he is called a never Trumper by some and a Trump lapdog by others. I would call that objectivity.
A lot have been wrong about Sessions. A person has to be 100% infallible to keep in your good graces? In that case, better turn your back on Trump as you did Levin (after all he did pick him as AG)...

He'll have to tone it down a bit for TV, but I expect him to be just as hard hitting.

I don't always get my predictions right, but Hannity beating Maddow has turned out to be pretty accurate.
Sean Hannity Unrivaled As Fox News Cruises To Big February Ratings Win
Mark Joyella , CONTRIBUTOR
FEB 27, 2018
Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity crushed the cable news competition in February, finishing first with an average audience of 3.3 million total viewers. February marked Hannity's fifth straight month as the unrivaled King of Cable News, maintaining a wide lead over MSNBC rival Rachel Maddow, who finished the month in third place overall.
Maddow, who led MSNBC to record ratings in 2017, delivered a total audience of 2.874 million viewers in February. Maddow finished behind FNC's Tucker Carlson, who took second place overall with 3.144 million total viewers. In the advertiser-coveted demographic of viewers 25-54, Hannity led (711,000) followed by Carlson (650,000) and Maddow (641,000).
Fox News had four of cable news' top five programs, with Laura Ingraham's The Ingraham Angle finishing fourth, and Special Report with Bret Baier taking fifth. Fox News also won the 11 p.m. hour, where Fox News at Night with Shannon Bream had an average audience of 1.5 million viewers, edging out MSNBC's The 11th Hour with Brian Williams.
Fox News Channel has led all basic cable networks for 20 consecutive months and has been the most-watched cable news network in total day and in prime time for 194 months straight, finishing February with an average total audience in prime time of 2.8 million, down 3% from February 2017.
MSNBC, meanwhile, was the only cable news network to grow year-over-year, climbing 23% overall and 21% in prime. CNN had significant declines in February, with ratings dropping 19% in total day and 16% in prime, where the network returned an average audience of 979,000 total viewers--behind MSNBC (1.805 million) and Fox News (2.766 million).
MSNBC has now beaten CNN in prime for 12 consecutive months among viewers 25-54 and 15 consecutive months among all viewers.

There are so many things wrong with this I don't know where to begin.
1. You're not expressing confusion by independents. You're asking an insincere question as a liberal.
2. There is nothing confusing about mainstream media liberal bias. It is a fact.
3. Complaints about mainstream liberal media bias doesn't just come from "the far right," which you probably cannot even identify.
4. In head-to-head matchups, Fox News dominates every other news network. But the combined total of every other mainstream news network outnumbers Fox News individually. Not difficult to understand at all.

Nolte: Tucker Carlson Beat All of CNN’s Prime Time Shows … Combined
JOHN NOLTE3 Apr 2019
Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show earned more viewers last week than all of CNN’s primetime line up combined, reports the Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra.
This has to be a bitter pill for CNN. For years now the far-left network has done everything in its power to bring Carlson down. By any measure, CNN has conducted what can only be described as a straight up, deliberate demonization campaign.
CNN has also participated in the effort to have Carlson blacklisted by advertisers due to his right-of-center political beliefs. Since the fake news outlet cannot beat Carlson in the ratings, it is hoping to drive him off the air through McCarthyism.
Obviously this has backfired in a big way.
Throughout all of last week, CNN’s primetime lineup averaged a limp 2.474 million viewers, while all on his own, Carlson averaged 3.475 million viewers.
Here is the specific breakdown according to Nielsen:
Anderson Cooper: 810,000 viewers
Chris Cuomo: 875,000 viewers
Don Lemon: 789,000 viewers
This means that Carlson not only beat all three of these left-wing hacks combined, he beat them by a cool million total viewers.
Although the numbers aren’t yet available, my guess is that you could easily add Jake Tapper’s weekly average and/or Erin Burnett’s weekly average, and Carlson still comes out on top — or close enough for bragging rights.
Carlson usually humiliates CNN, as does MSNBC, but last week was a turning point for the anti-Trump network that went all in pushing the Russia Collusion Hoax.
For two years, CNN flooded its network with one fake news bombshell after another and a narrative that assured viewers the Mueller Report would be the end of Trump — that impeachment was right around the corner.
CNN was certain Mueller would come through with some ginned-up allegation against the president. And so, for two whole years, CNN baited its viewers with this nonsense, and when Mueller failed to come up with the goods, those viewers fled in droves. MSNBC is having the same problem, but nowhere near the bottoming out CNN faces.
And CNN’s ratings humiliations show no signs of going away.
On Monday, Carlson earned 3.053 million viewers, which again beat the three stooges named Cooper (791K), Lemon (882K), and Cuomo (973K) combined.
Erin Burnett attracted only 684K viewers. Wolf Blitzer earned just 688K and 617K viewers.
The numbers for Jake Tapper, the far-left anchor who colluded with disgraced former FBI Director James Comey and disgraced former CIA chief John Brennan to launch the Russia hoax, could only snag 626K viewers.
Tapper was hired to anchor the 4 p.m. hour, to be the all-important lead-in that launched CNN’s entire night. The once-respected newsman has turned into a total failure and turn-off, a neurotic mix of fake news, virtue-signaling, and self-important sanctimony.
Overall on Monday, Fox averaged 2.82 million primetime viewers to CNN’s laughable 882K.
In total day, Fox averaged 1.783 million viewers to CNN’s pathetic 595K.
On the credibility front, CNN is over, a spent shell of hate and deception.
On the ratings front, CNN has been in real trouble for years, but with their Russia Collusion Hoax fully exposed, these numbers are now a full-blown catastrophe.
The only thing keeping CNN alive right now is a rigged system that forces 89 million Americans to pay for a cable channel they don’t watch.

That's impressive. If he is beating all three combined by that much then that shoots down a bit the "high viewership due to Fox being the only right leaning major network" narrative.
I've believed/promoted that myself so this is a very good thing that it hopefully means that the right side is gaining steam to even overcome all that.

Pretty sure I've seen stats that show that Fox is the most middle of the road news station, which makes sense since most people aren't far right or left.

Believe I have seen those too if you are referring to the Trump press coverage analysis/study. I think it was a study done by Harvard or Yale where they were 50/50 pretty much and the others were about 90/10 against.

CNN Drops 26% In Prime Time As Fox News Dominates April Cable Ratings

CNN's prime time hosts can only hope it will be better in the new building.
As CNN prepares to move its prime time studios and operations to a glitzy new building at New York City's brand new--and widely reviled--Hudson Yards development, the network saw its prime time lineup drop 26% in April compared to the same month one year ago. CNN's total audience in prime time was well under a million viewers--767,000--while competitors MSNBC and Fox News finished the month far ahead: MSNBC in second place overall with 1.660 million total viewers, and Fox News leading all of cable with a total audience of 2.395 million.
April ranks as CNN's lowest-rated month among total viewers in nearly four years, since October 2015. CNN's Cuomo Primetime, which has been the network's highest-rated hour, drew a total audience of 917,000 viewers in April, the show's worst-ever performance.
Among viewers 25-54, the demographic most coveted by national advertisers, the falloff for CNN was even more stark: down 41 percent. CNN drew 198,000 viewers in the demo, behind MSNBC (255,000) and Fox News (389,000). All three networks saw year-over-year declines in April, with MSNBC down 36% and FNC down 19%.
Among prime time cable news shows, Fox News' Hannity led with a total audience of 3.086 million, followed by FNC's Tucker Carlson Tonight (2.834 million) and MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show (2.630 million). None of CNN's prime time hours finished among the top five shows overall. CNN's top-rated hour, Cuomo Primetime, finished in 26th place.
For Fox, the ratings data released Tuesday by Nielsen put the network into a staggering unbeaten streak as the most-watched cable news network in prime time and total day, at 208 consecutive months.
MSNBC, which has established itself solidly as the second-place rival to Fox News, has now beaten CNN for 27 straight months in prime, and for the first time tying CNN among viewers 25-54 for the total day, the first time MSNBC has posted a #2 finish since June 2014.

MSNBC’S RACHEL MADDOW’S RATINGS PLUMMET TO YEARLY LOW
05/21/2019 | MEDIA
Mike Brest | Reporter
MSNBC primetime host Rachel Maddow brought in her worst weekly ratings of the year last week.
Her show last week averaged 2,324,000 viewers, with an average audience of 337,000 in the 25-54 age demographic, both of which mark yearly lows for the liberal television host, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Maddow first saw a dramatic drop in ratings following the conclusion of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. Her previous low for a week in 2019 was the last week in March, the first full week after Mueller submitted his conclusion to Attorney General William Barr, where she averaged 2,458,000 viewers with 392,000 in the demo.
She spent two years dissecting every aspect of the special counsel’s investigation into whether President Donald Trump conspired with the Russians to win the 2016 presidential election. The night Mueller submitted his findings to Barr, Maddow appeared to hold back tears over the fact that neither the president nor any family members were indicted.
Compared to Maddow’s low ratings last week, Fox News’ Sean Hannity, whose program is often the most-watched among all cable news shows, averaged 3,108,000 viewers with just under half-a-million viewers in the key demographic.

She also nearly tripled CNN’s Chris Cuomo’s weekly ratings. His program only had 880,000 viewers with 225,000 in the key demo.

Fox News, 'Hannity' dominate May ratings as CNN's troubles continue
By Brian Flood | Fox News
As May winds down to a close, Fox News Channel is finishing the month as the most-watched network across all of basic cable for the 35th straight month. Simultaneously, CNN is continuing a downward turn, finishing eighth in total day viewers, averaging only 552,000. 'Hannity' averaged 3.1 million viewers, finishing as the most-watched program on cable news, while CNN's most-watched show, 'Cuomo Prime Time,' finished 25th overall.
Fox News Channel finished May as the most-watched network across all of basic cable for the 35th straight month as CNN continued its downward spiral and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow had her worst month of the Trump administration.
Fox News averaged 1.3 million total day viewers, while MSNBC finished second with an average of 909,000. TNT, ESPN and HGTV round out the top five while the liberal CNN finished eighth, averaging only 552,000.
CNN’S DON LEMON DOESN’T LET ‘ANCHOR’ TITLE GET IN THE WAY OF HIS ON-AIR OPINIONS
The NBA playoffs-heavy TNT topped the primetime leaderboard, averaging 2.5 million viewers from 8-11 p.m. ET. Fox News finished second, averaging 2.4 million, followed by ESPN, MSNBC and HGTV while CNN failed to crack the Top 15 with a bleak primetime average of only 761,000 viewers.
“Hannity” averaged 3.1 million viewers to finish as the most-watched program on cable news, followed by “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” finished third, with FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle” and “The Five” rounding out the top five. Maddow had her worst month since President Trump took office despite finishing third in both categories.
Beleaguered CNN’s most-watched show was “Cuomo Prime Time,” which finished No. 25 overall, behind 14 different Fox News shows and 10 programs on MSNBC. CNN’s other struggling primetime shows, “Anderson Cooper 360” and “CNN Tonight with Don Lemon,” finished 26th and 35th, respectively.
FNC thumped MSNBC and CNN among the key demographic of adults aged 25-54, too, averaging 231,000 total day viewers and 377,000 during primetime. MSNBC averaged 134,000 total day and 242,000 primetime demo viewers, while CNN averaged 137,000 in total day and only 185,000 during primetime.
EX-CNN ANCHOR SOLEDAD O'BRIEN EXPLAINS WHY ‘FREE’ MICHAEL AVENATTI WAS ON HER OLD NETWORK SO MUCH
CNN’s dismal showing in the total day demo was the network’s worst monthly performance in the category since Aug. 2015. It was also MSNBC’s worst month in the demo since Dec. 2016.
“Hannity,” “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” “The Rachel Maddow Show,” “The Ingraham Angle” and “The Five” also finished as the most-watched cable news shows among the key demo, while “Cuomo Prime Time” suffered an all-time low among viewers age 25-54.
“The Greg Gutfeld Show” proved that Fox News also thrives on the weekend, as it averaged 1.8 million total viewers to beat heavily promoted broadcast shows including ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” and CBS’ “Late Late Show with James Corden.”

RATINGS-CHALLENGED CNN SHEDS STAFF AS NETWORK MOVES INTO LAVISH NEW DIGS
CNN boss Jeff Zucker recently told the Los Angeles Times that he feels viewership will rebound as the 2020 presidential race unfolds in an article that was conveniently published the day before the network’s lackluster ratings were announced. However, famed journalist-turned-investment banker Porter Bibb feels that CNN should change its current programming strategy.
“Zucker's leadership at CNN is in jeopardy since the network is in ratings freefall and has continued to diminish its hard news coverage in favor of politicized 'town halls' and other CNN-produced non-news specials,” Bibb told Fox News.
While Bibb feels that Zucker’s leadership is in jeopardy, the CNN honcho was actually given more responsibility when WarnerMedia announced restructuring as part of AT&T’s takeover of the media conglomerate earlier this year. Zucker now oversees Turner Sports, Bleacher Report and regional sports networks in addition to the struggling cable news network.
“There's no accounting for AT&T's moves,” Bibb said. “It remains to be seen whether the telecom mentality can ever make a success of a media/entertainment/news conglomerate. The jury is out but Zucker is living on borrowed time.”
WarnerMedia did not immediately respond when asked if the company is concerned about CNN’s ratings.
JIM ACOSTA'S CNN ROLE FURTHER MUDDLED BY UPCOMING BOOK: 'YOU CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM AND A PAID PUNDIT'
But viewership wasn’t the only issue for CNN during the month of May, as the network was the subject of a variety of damaging headlines. Over 100 veteran employees accepted a voluntary buyout as CNN looks to reduce headcount, losing key leaders in the process. Then a CNN spokesperson called potential mass layoffs a “crazy rumor,” but the company eventually began sending employees packing anyway. The Atlanta-based department that covers health and the London operation have both been impacted so far and insiders feel that additional changes are looming.
The network’s White House correspondent, Jim Acosta, also angered colleagues this month by admitting that “neutrality doesn’t really serve” CNN when covering President Trump.
“It’s disgraceful on two levels. First, [Acosta] insists on making himself the center of the story, the antithesis of good journalism. His ego knows no bounds. Second, he actually admits he’s a pundit. He’d be a good one, articulate and persuasive guy, but stop pretending to be a reporter,” a prominent CNN employee told Fox News on Wednesday.

Rachel Maddow's credibility and ratings at a low ebb following Mueller findings, critics say
By Brian Flood | Fox News
MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" has been hit with a serious one-two punch.
One day after finishing May with its worst ratings since Donald Trump took office, the lefty pundit's eponymous program faced a Vanity Fair bombshell report that the New York Times didn’t want its reporters appearing on Maddow's show, not because her ratings were down, but because she was too far left, even for them.
The New York Times had reportedly blocked its reporters from appearing on “Maddow” because the program is too partisan, with one insider from the Grey Lady's newsroom agreeing, telling Fox News “it rubs off” on any journalist who is too closely aligned to the far left.
NEW YORK TIMES BANS REPORTERS FROM CNN'S DON LEMON, MSNBC'S MADDOW SHOWS FOR BEING 'TOO PARTISAN:' REPORT
“I do think Maddow, and others on MSNBC, have very strong opinions that affect their ability to tell stories in an accurate way sometimes,” the source said. “You don’t get tainted just by appearing [on the show], but it’s better to err on the side of trying to maintain objectivity and caution.”
“You don’t get tainted just by appearing [‘The Rachel Maddow Show’], but it’s better to err on the side of trying to maintain objectivity and caution.”
— New York Times insider
The insider said colleagues at the paper are divided as to whether or not appearing on Maddow’s show would actually damage their reputations. Many of the Times’ top reporters are aware and “rightly sensitive” about the paper’s reputation of leaning left, the source said, and appearing on “Maddow” makes it hard to convince people otherwise.
A handful of journalists work for the both the Times and MSNBC, including Peter Baker, Nick Confessore and Jeremy Peters. All three of those reporters declined to comment when individually asked about Maddow. The Times did not immediately respond to a request for comment, either.
The paper did tell Vanity Fair that it was simply reinforcing an existing policy to be consistent with the paper’s standards. But Peters appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday, the morning after the news of a Times reporter being kept off Maddow broke. “Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough have a public feud with Trump, but haven’t pushed the Russia collusion theory as aggressively as Maddow.
‘UNMASKED’ BOOK RANKS MEDIA MEMBERS WHO HATE PRESIDENT TRUMP THE MOST, FROM JIM ACOSTA TO MIKA BRZEZINSKI
Maddow has dedicated much of her programming since Trump took office to hyperventilating over whether or not Trump colluded with Russia. Since Attorney General Bill Barr's letter summarizing Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report was released on March 24 indicating that a Trump campaign-Russia conspiracy didn’t exist, contradicting Maddow’s nightly narrative, her ratings have suffered.
Maddow lost nearly 500,000 viewers for her first episode following the release of Barr’s letter. Then she plummeted 13 percent in April compared to the same month in 2018, according to TVNewser, falling behind “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in the process. In May she averaged 2.6 million – her worst month since Trump took office – and a far cry from the 3.1 million viewers she averaged during the first quarter of 2019.
Accuracy in Media national editor Carrie Sheffield feels that Maddow has long “ignored basic journalistic, fact-checking practices and the presumption of innocence in our legal system by relentlessly pushing unproven conspiracy theories about supposed Russian collusion” and her “lapse in journalistic balance” is part of why Americans have declining trust in the national media and why some reporters appear to be distancing themselves from her show.
“This was a long time coming, and we hope MSNBC will allow for greater balance moving forward. We hope that Maddow's programming will include substantive fact-checking, balanced debate and dialogue, rather than an echo-chamber monologue that further divides Left and Right," Sheffield told Fox News. "Americans deserve better.”
“That some reporters refuse to go on her show is important, but is unlikely to change her behavior. Maddow long ago carved out her faux-intellectual paranoid niche, and she's stuck in it."
— William A. Jacobson
FOX NEWS, 'HANNITY' DOMINATE MAY RATINGS AS CNN'S TROUBLES CONTINUE
Cornell Law School professor and conservative blogger William A. Jacobson told Fox News that “Maddow built her viewership on Russia collusion conspiracy theories dressed up as analysis,” and said the Mueller Report “destroyed” her credibility.
“MSNBC is standing by her because she still has a large viewership emotionally invested bringing down Trump,” Jacobson said. “That some reporters refuse to go on her show is important, but is unlikely to change her behavior. Maddow long ago carved out her faux-intellectual paranoid niche, and she's stuck in it."
DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffrey McCall agreed that Maddow is still enormously popular with her anti-Trump base.
“Her opinionated approach, however, should make hard news reporters and their editors take pause before being associated with her agenda-driven show... regular journalists risk being associated with the political leanings of Maddow, which could be harmful to their credibility.”
— Jeffrey McCall
“Her opinionated approach, however, should make hard news reporters and their editors take pause before being associated with her agenda-driven show,” McCall said. “Such regular journalists risk being associated with the political leanings of Maddow, which could be harmful to their credibility.”
"The Rachel Maddow Show” is currently the No. 3 program in cable news, and MSNBC is standing by its cash cow.
MSNBC STAR RACHEL MADDOW ACCUSED OF DECEIVING VIEWERS BY GLOSSING OVER TRUMP JR. BLOCKED CALL REPORTS
“For over a decade, ‘The Rachel Maddow Show’ has welcomed the best journalists from across the country and celebrated the hard work they do, day-in and day-out. This includes countless New York Times reporters and editors. That commitment to journalism is part of the DNA of the show,” an MSNBC spokesperson told Fox News when asked about the Vanity Fair report.
The New York Times is said to be cracking down on its reporters appearing on 'partisan' cable news showsVideo
Maddow has emerged as a leader of the #Resistance, but her missteps on Mueller aren't the only time she has raised eyebrows. Maddow failed to ask Hillary Clinton whether or not she thought the Obama administration could have done a better job handling Russian interference, was called out by a media watchdog group for deceiving viewers when she ignored reports seemingly clearing Donald Trump Jr. of suspicions related to the much-hyped Trump Tower meeting, and famously disappointed viewers when a heavily promoted “scoop” about Trump’s taxes ended up being much ado about nothing.
Back in 2017, Maddow promoted a theory tying Trump to a tragic ambush attack that killed four American soldiers in guy that was so outlandish that even the dependably liberal HuffPost criticized it as "so flimsy that it could be debunked by a quick glance at a map."
“Let’s be honest, Maddie’s brand has never been tethered to the truth or reality. She has been the National Enquirer of political coverage for years now,” conservative strategist Chris Barron said.

CNN Has Double-Digit Monthly Ratings Loss in Primetime … Again
By Randy Hall | June 5, 2019
If it weren’t for bad luck, CNN would have no luck at all -- especially when it comes to ratings during the network’s vitally important primetime schedule.
In May, the channel lost 16 percent of its weekday evening audience from the previous month, falling to just 761,000 viewers and winding up dead last among such cable networks as liberal rival MSNBC and the dominant Fox News Channel.
According to an article by our friend John Nolte at Breitbart on Tuesday, they're having quite the rough time (click “expand”):
The embattled CNN, which always lands in far-last place and axed more than 100 jobs already this year, had about as bad of a ratings month as is possible in May.
Its primetime hours were only able to average a measly 761,000 viewers, while the fake news outlet’s total day viewers dove nine percent (compared to this same month last year) to just 559,000 viewers.
For comparison purposes, Fox News earned three times as many primetime viewers (2.34 million) and more than twice as many total day viewers (1.34 million). What’s more, when compared to this same month last year, Fox lost none of its primetime viewers and only four percent of its total day viewers.
(....)
How does a nationally known brand like CNN, a brand that is decades old, only manage to attract 761,000 viewers throughout a gonzo news month in a country of over 300 million?
There are many answers to this sad state of affairs for the once-proud network with one example being an visit to NewsBusters for the outrageous bias spewed on CNN daily. But for Nolte, his answer was that the channel has list “all of its moral authority and every bit of trust it once had.”
Nolte noted that during the past six years, from “as soon as Jeff Zucker took over [as president], CNN got every major national story exactly wrong.”
To prove his point, he described each important news story during that time as reported by that network, including the following (links added to NewsBusters articles on the topic):
“Hispanic George Zimmerman: The White Racist Killer”
“Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”
“Trump Can’t Win.”
“Brett Kavanaugh: Serial Rapist,”
“The KKKids from KKKovington High School”
“Trump Colluded With Russia.”
“And in every one of those cases,” he continued, “CNN got it deliberately wrong” because the liberal network “is nothing less than a hysterical propaganda outlet, a fire hose of hate, violence and lies” and thus has crashed and burned “in every possible metric -- including integrity, decency, honesty and humanity.”
While noting that the channel “is only competing with two other cable news networks, the fake news outlet’s top-rated program, Cuomo Prime Time, crash-landed in 25th place, averaging only 938,000 viewers" with Chris Cuomo as host.
He added: “The top 24 slots are all filled with shows from Fox News and MSNBC -- and Fox holds seven of the top ten” in part because the FNC “earned three times as many primetime viewers (2.34 million) and more than twice as many total day viewers (1.34 million).”
Nolte stated that The Lead host Jake Tapper was “the guy Zucker put at 4 p.m. hoping he’d act as a primetime anchor as a lead-in for the rest of the night.”
However, that program “landed in a pathetic 36th place with only 706,000 average viewers, which is 55,000 fewer viewers than CNN’s primetime average.”
Nevertheless, Nolte saved his sharpest barbs for CNN’s morning show -- New Day -- which he called “a laughingstock” because it only averages 485,000 viewers.
As further proof of his claim, the editor noted that the program “is losing by about 80,000 viewers to Fox & Friends First, which airs at -- get this -- 4 a.m.”
As NewsBusters reported a month ago, the ratings tumble for CNN was already in full swing during April, when the network lost 26 percent of its viewers.

Nolte: Death Spiral Continues as CNN Loses One-Third of Primetime Audience
JOHN NOLTE
12 Jun 2019
The far-left CNN’s ratings death spiral marched into last week as the fake news network lost one-third of its primetime audience and a breathtaking 55 percent of its demo viewers.
When compared to this same week last year, CNN also lost 21 percent of its total day viewers.
How bad is this?
Well, you can’t blame a slow news week because not only was President Trump on an overseas trip, but as you will see, CNN stands completely alone with this massive audience implosion.
By comparison, in primetime, MSNBC and Fox News only lost four percent of their viewers compared to last year and seven and five percent of their total day viewers, respectively.
Let me lay this out for you as starkly as I can.
Primetime Viewership Compared to Same Week Last Year
Fox News: -4 percent
MSNBC: -4 percent
CNNLOL: -33 percent
Total Day Viewership Compared to Same Week Last Year
Fox News: -7 percent
MSNBC: -5 percent
CNNLOL: -21 percent
And that is the good news for CNN chief Jeff Zucker’s Hate Network.
Brace yourselves because you are not going to believe this…
CNN lost — wait for it, wait for it — 55 percent (that is not a typo) of its viewers aged 25-54 during primetime last week.
The fake news outlet also lost 45 percent of its total day viewers aged 25-54.
The 25-54 age demo is hugely important because it sets advertising rates.
Let me once again lay this out as starkly as possible…
Primetime Demo Viewership Compared to Same Week Last Year
Fox News: -25 percent
MSNBC: -32 percent
CNNLOL: -55 percent
Total Day Demo Viewership Compared to Same Week Last Year
Fox News: -22 percent
MSNBC: -31 percent
CNNLOL: -45 percent
In other words, CNN is a total outlier in this audience collapse. The erosion we are seeing in Fox and MSNBC’s total viewership is more like a fluctuation, hardly worth mentioning. CNN’s total viewership collapse, however, is jaw-dropping.
As far as demo viewers, it appears as though young people are overall tiring of cable news, and who can blame them? But CNN’s demo collapse is simply staggering.
Per TVNewser, here are the raw demo numbers from last week:
Cable News Average Audience (Adults 25-54)
Fox News: Prime Time (341,000) and Total Day (213,000)
MSNBC: Prime Time (215,000) and Total Day (113,000)
CNN: Prime Time (178,000) and Total Day (126,000)
In total viewers last week:
Fox News averaged 2.34 million in primetime and 1.3 million in total day.
MSNBC averaged 1.58 million primetime and 869,000 in total day.
CNNLOL averaged a pathetic and humiliating 726,000 primetime viewers and only 531,000 in total day.
This is no anomaly and has nothing to do with a slow news week.
After weeks and weeks and weeks of CNN’s ratings bottoming out, it is safe to say that the bottom is falling out of CNN overall. After six years of Jeff Zucker’s serial lies, bigotry, hate, booing rape victims, and encouraging violence, CNN has lost anything resembling respectability and a respectable audience.
No one trusts CNN, so no one watches CNN.
But…
Let’s not forget that 89.5 million people who do not watch CNN are still subsidizing all this hate and bigotry.
Seriously, y’all really do need to cut the cable cord.

I'd be curious to know where those viewers went? Did they get jobs? (Thanks Trump) Switch news sources? Switch to soap operas?

Fox News beats CNN, MSNBC combined in ratings, tops all of cable
By Brian Flood | Fox News
Fox News Channel attracted more prime-time viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined last week, adding to its streak as the most-watched basic cable network.
Fox News averaged 2.3 million viewers during the hours of 8-11 p.m. ET from June 10-16, while MSNBC finished second with an average of 1.5 million. HGTV, A&E and USA joined them among the top five, while CNN averaged just 744,000 to finish 14th.
Discovery, TNT, Food Network, TLC, Investigation Discovery, TBS, Hallmark and the History Channel also finished with more prime-time viewers than the struggling CNN.
MSNBC’S RACHEL MADDOW HAS A ONE-SIDED LOVE AFFAIR WITH NEW YORK TIMES
FNC also took the crown among total day viewers, averaging 1.2 million, while no other basic cable networks cracked the million-viewer mark. MSNBC came in second, averaging 850,000; CNN attracted 519,000 total day viewers.
Fox News has now finished first in the total day category for 23 straight weeks.
Fox News averaged 315,000 prime-time viewers among the key demographic of adults ages 25-54, compared to 192,000 for MSNBC and 173,000 for CNN. While MSNBC topped liberal rival CNN, the home of Rachel Maddow still finished with its lowest-rated week of 2019 in both total day and prime-time viewership in the key demo.
CNN PUNDIT WONDERS IF NEWS ORGS WOULD PUSH IMPEACHMENT TO BOOST RATINGS; EXPERTS SAY SOME HAVE ALREADY TRIED
In addition, “Fox & Friends” beat liberal morning shows “Morning Joe” and “New Day” combined in the demo.
“Hannity” had the most-watched telecast in all of cable on June 10 with an average of 3.2 million viewers. “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” “The Ingraham Angle,” “The Five” and “Special Report with Bret Baier” were among the 19 Fox News programs that finished among the Top 25 telecasts for the week.
Fox News’ town hall event with 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Julian Castro averaged 1.1 million viewers at 6:30 p.m. ET, while CNN’s Castro town hall averaged just 654,000 viewers when it aired in prime time back on April 11.

Nolte: CNN Death Spiral Continues with Double Digit Q2 Ratings Collapse
JOHN NOLTE
3 Jul 2019
The far-left fake news outlet CNN came in 15th place in primetime during the previous quarter and lost nearly 20 percent of its already pathetic viewership.
Let’s go straight to the numbers…
During the second quarter of this year, here’s how the average viewing audience stacked up…
Primetime
FOX: 2.4 million
MSNBC: 1.67 million
CNNLOL: 761,000
Total Day
FOX: 1.32 million
MSNBC: 900,000
CNNLOL: 541,000
Viewership drops compared to this same quarter last year…
Primetime
FOX: -2%
MSNBC: -4%
CNNLOL: -18%
Total Day
FOX: -6%
MSNBC: -3%
CNNLOL: -18%
Obviously, what the above numbers prove is that CNNLOL is not the victim of a downturn in the overall news cycle but rather a victim of its own horribleness, of Suicide By Fake News and Hate.
In all of cable TV during primetime, FOX was number one, MSNBC number two, and CNNLOL was number…. 15.
In the all-important (for advertiser rates) 25-54 age demo during primetime hours, FOX averaged 373,000 viewers, MSNBC 252,000, and CNNLOL just 188,000.
Compared to this same quarter last year, in the age demo, FOX is down 21 percent and MSNBC 27 percent, but CNNLOL again managed to humiliate itself with an incredible 37 percent crash of young primetime viewers.
With only two other cable news outlets as competition, not a single CNNLOL program ranked in the top 20.
CNN’s best showing was the faltering Cuomo Prime Time, which hit number 25.
Cuomo could not even average a million viewers last quarter (936K), but he’s the Golden Fredo compared to Jake Tapper’s ratings, which have sunk to 699K. Don Lemon was only able to attract 833K viewers. Anderson Cooper grabbed 892K.
There’s a reason why more Democrats tune into MSNBC and probably even Fox News.
CNN is an unreliable and dishonest hate network obsessed with working out its psychosis against Trump and his supporters by going so far as to condone and encourage violence against them.
For all of MSNBC’s flaws, its anchors are nowhere near as dangerous or unstable.
Sure, there’s a vocal contingency in the Democrat Party every bit as crazy and dangerous as CNN, but most rank-and-file Democrats are our friends and neighbors, are good people repulsed by the un-American stench emanating from CNNLOL.
On the left and right, this is an overwhelmingly decent country made up of decent people — CNN is not.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of watching some MSNBC today while doing cardio. What a clusterfuckery of shit!! On there saying that Trump wants to be king and wants to rule like a king. Every time I opened my eyes they were talking about how bad Trump was, they spent a few seconds discussing a shooting suspect that was arrested, then right back to bashing Trump. Funny to watch some white haired guy say that 4th of July was about our independence and our military and that Trump was terrible for taking our military guys away from their families to participate in his parade.

I saw it once before, I felt like the world was falling apart, like I should be afraid for my life every time I step out of the house. Fortunately, I shook that feeling fast and got back to normal.

Yeah, like who knows where all this crap with the media will end up? Is the future of network news solely in the hands of FOX News? Five minutes of national news and I'm done. I watch a few seconds of FOX for laughs and giggles every now and again....then I have this urge to purge.

MSNBC's 'The Rachel Maddow Show' plummets to fifth most-watched cable news show
By Brian Flood | Fox News
MSNBC’s once-mighty, far-left "The Rachel Maddow Show" plummeted to fifth overall among cable news programs during the month of July.
“The Rachel Maddow Show” finished the first quarter of 2019 as the No. 2 program in all of cable news, behind only Fox News Channel's “Hannity.” At the time, Maddow was so strong among the key demographic of adults age 25-54 that MSNBC touted her as cable news’ most-watched host.
But those times have changed significantly.
“The Rachel Maddow Show” finished the month of July as the No. 5 program on cable news, behind “Hannity,” “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” “The Ingraham Angle” and “The Five.”
Maddow averaged 2.5 million viewers in July after averaging 3.1 million during Q1 and she’s in danger of dropping to sixth, as “Special Report with Bret Baier” nipped at her heels with 2.3 million viewers.
Many believe that Maddow’s far-left views are to blame, as she dedicated substantial airtime since Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016 to speculating about whether or not Trump colluded with Russia. Viewers began turning away when Maddow’s collusion theory was discredited by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report and testimony.
Ex-MSNBC host Krystal Ball even blasted her former colleague last week for floating wild “Russian conspiracy theories” that blew up when Mueller didn’t substantiate them.
“Rachel Maddow, you’ve got some explaining to do,” Ball said on The Hill’s “Rising.”
Ball noted that MSNBC and Maddow “built segment after segment, show after show, on building anticipation for a big reveal” that never arrived. Maddow is so liberal that the New York Times stops its straight-news reporters from appearing on her program because it’s too partisan, even for the paper that is widely criticized for leaning left itself.
Maddow also finished July as No. 5 among the key demo, averaging 384,000 viewers to finish behind “Hannity,” Tucker Carlson Tonight,” The Ingraham Angle” and “The Five.”
Forbes media guru Mark Joyella wrote about Maddow’s fall, noting that she was cable news’ most-watched host as recently as March 2018 but is now fifth.
“It's the first time since October 2018 that Maddow has finished outside the top three cable news shows among total viewers,” Joyella wrote.

Alert! Fox News, ‘Hannity’ Still Dominate Cable News Over MSNBC, CNN
By Randy Hall | August 15, 2019
Alert! The good news continues to roll in for the Fox News Channel, which was the most-watched basic cable television network across total day and primetime viewing during the week of August 5-11, a feat FNC has accomplished for 31 consecutive weeks.
In addition, August 7's Hannity delivered a 3.3 million total and 546,000 in the coveted demographic of viewers from 25 to 54 years of age as a result of Hannity's absolutely bonkers throwdown with 2020 Democratic candidate and socialist New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. In those two categories, that interview outpaced CNN’s latest show trial on gun control, which was way behind with 1.2 million viewers and 284,000 in the age demographic.
According to a press release, the channel delivered 1.3 million total viewers and notched 240,000 in the 25-54 demo during the week, slamming the competition in primetime. As a result, FNC yet again topped MSNBC and the scandal-ridden CNN.
With ratings gathered by Nielsen, Fox News averaged 2.3 million viewers from 8-11 p.m. on June 10-16, while MSNBC finished second with an average of 1.5 million.
However, the new result comes as no surprise since FNC has been the most watched television news channel for more than 17 consecutive years in nearly 90 million homes while routinely notching the top 10 programs in the genre.
Joining Fox News in the top five cable channels in primetime are MSNBC, HGTV, TLC and USA Network.
As for CNN, the slow-sinking ship averaged only 744,000 and came in at 14th place. Sad!
In total day ratings, FNC is still number one, followed by MSNBC, Nickelodeon, HGTV and CNN in fifth.
Cable news rankings have Fox News at the top of the list, with MSNBC coming in second and CNN as number eight.
FNC remained the most-watched cable news network in both total day and primetime with Tucker Carlson Tonight ranking the highest-rated show that day in cable news with an audience of 3.5 million and 557,000 in the age bracket.
Going back to the Jeffrey Zucker-run circus, CNN experienced a 72 percent decrease in total viewers and a 74 percent drop in the demo following their July 30 and 31 Democratic presidential debates.
In the 11:00 p.m. Eastern timeslot (which closes out live programming for all three networks until the early morning hours), FOX News @ Night with Shannon Bream beat MSNBC’s 11th Hour (hosted by Lyin' Brian Williams) during 19 of the previous 20 weeks (and, of course, CNN Tonight with Don Lemon).
Also on that Friday, the August 9 edition of FNC’s flagship morning program -- FOX & Friends -- dominated CNN’s New Day and MSNBC’s Morning Joe each hour from 6 a.m. to 9 o’clock combined in the demo with the CNN show being the lowest rated cable news program period.
As NewsBusters previously reported, this downward turn for CNN is not a new thing for the former Journalistic titan. Will the "news" network ever reverse the downward spiral?

CNN ratings plummet to lowest primetime viewership in almost three years
Brian Flood By Brian Flood | Fox News
Sean Hannity discussed his backing of Cuomo; reaction from Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe and 'Swamp Wars' author Jeffrey Lord.
CNN's 24/7 Trump-bashing strategy doesn't seem to be working.
The beleaguered network's primetime hosts Anderson Cooper, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon celebrated Thanksgiving with the network’s lowest-rated week in primetime viewership in nearly three years.
Fox News averaged 2.2 million viewers during the primetime hours of 9-11 p.m. ET from Nov. 25 through Dec. 1, while MSNBC averaged 1.3 million viewers during the same time period and CNN managed only 643,000 average viewers. It was CNN’s worst performance in nearly three years and the liberal network’s worst turnout among the key demographic of adults age 25-54 in over five years.
Thanksgiving didn’t make for a slow news week, as CNN’s hapless totals came amid ongoing news regarding impeachment hearings of President Trump, the controversy surrounding the handling of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, Mike Bloomberg launching a 2020 presidential bid, Trump’s surprise trip to Afghanistan and significant weather-related stories.
CNN averaged only 138,000 primetime demo viewers -- less than half of Fox News’ average of 303,000 during the week.
Fox News was the most-watched cable network among total day viewers for the 47th straight week, averaging 1.3 million. Hallmark Channel, ESPN, MSNBC and Nickelodeon joined FNC among the top five.
FNC beat CNN and MSNBC combined in both total day and primetime viewership. “The Five,” which airs at 5 p.m. ET, even beat MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” among total viewers for the week.
As CNN posted historic lows, episodes of “Hannity,” “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” “The Ingraham Angle,” “The Story with Martha MacCallum” and “Special Report” with Bret Baier accounted for 15 of the 30 most-watched telecasts across all of cable during the holiday weekend.
Things don’t seem to be on track to turn around for CNN, as the network’s special town hall event with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the day she announced that articles of impeachment against President Trump were being drafted only averaged 1.6 million viewers and 410,000 in the demo on Thursday night, well behind both Fox News and MSNBC in both categories.

Group of Democrats floating censure of Trump instead of impeachment: report
BY MARTY JOHNSON - 12/10/19
A small group of House Democrats have been floating the idea of censuring President Trump instead of impeaching him, multiple lawmakers familiar with the situation told Politico.
The group consists of Democrats whose districts Trump won in 2016 and reportedly includes Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.), Anthony Brindisi (D-N.Y.) and Ben McAdams (D-Utah.).
"I think it’s certainly appropriate and might be a little more bipartisan, who knows,” Schrader told the publication Tuesday.
According to lawmakers, the idea of a censure is thought to have more bipartisan appeal than the impeachment does and would also allow Democrats in the Senate avoid a lengthy trial.
However, the chances are slim that the censure becomes something feasible. The group of House Democrats are reportedly very short of the 18 votes needed to block the impeachment vote on the House floor, and a majority of Democrats have already gotten behind Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the impeachment proceedings.
“I don’t think [moderate Democrats] have enough to block impeachment. 10 to 12 max. But they’re working to raise it,” a Republican lawmaker told Politico. “And [they’re] obviously reaching out to Republicans to see if they would join them.”
So far, only two Democrats – Reps. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) and Jeff Van Drew (D-N.J.) – are expected to vote against the articles of impeachment that were formally introduced Tuesday morning.
No House Republican is expected to vote in favor of the articles, though, Justin Amash (I-Mich.), who left the Republican party this summer, said last week that he would most likely vote in favor of the articles depending on the language used.

Rand Paul: Ban Congress from seeking members', journalists' phone data
"Nobody should get your phone records. This is a big deal," he told reporters.
By BURGESS EVERETT
12/09/2019
Sen. Rand Paul is working on changes to congressional rules that would prohibit committee chairmen and congressional subpoenas from sweeping up phone call data of journalists and members of Congress.
The move was prompted by House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), whose committee obtained phone records from both Intelligence ranking member Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and conservative journalist John Solomon in the course of its investigation of other people.
Paul told reporters on Monday evening that he is working on revisions to committee rules because “nobody should get your phone records. This is a big deal, this is a huge deal.” The Kentucky Republican also gently scolded journalists for not rebelling against Schiff, arguing it would be easy enough to subpoena suspected journalists’ sources to sweep up their call info.
“There hasn’t been enough calls from some of you people about protecting your own,” Paul told a handful of reporters. “Congress has no rules … it’s not illegal for Adam Schiff to do this. It’s highly immoral or unfair for him to do it. No one else has ever done it to another member or a journalist. I think we need to change the rules.”

Horowitz report is damning for the FBI and unsettling for the rest of us
BY JONATHAN TURLEY, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 12/09/19
The analysis of the report by Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz greatly depends, as is often the case, on which cable news channel you watch. Indeed, many people might be excused for concluding that Horowitz spent 476 pages to primarily conclude one thing, which is that the Justice Department acted within its guidelines in starting its investigation into the 2016 campaign of President Trump.
Horowitz did say that the original decision to investigate was within the discretionary standard of the Justice Department. That standard for the predication of an investigation is low, simply requiring “articulable facts.” He said that, since this is a low discretionary standard, he cannot say it was inappropriate to start. United States Attorney John Durham, who is heading the parallel investigation at the Justice Department, took the unusual step to issue a statement that he did not believe the evidence had supported that conclusion at the beginning of the investigation.
Attorney General William Barr also issued a statement disagreeing with the threshold statement. In fact, the Justice Department has a standard that requires the least intrusive means of investigating such entities as presidential campaigns, particularly when it comes to campaigns of the opposing party. That threshold finding is then followed by the remainder of the report, which is highly damaging and unsettling. Horowitz finds a litany of false and even falsified representations used to continue the secret investigation targeting the Trump campaign and its associates.
This is akin to reviewing the Titanic and saying that the captain was not unreasonable in starting the voyage. The question is what occurred when the icebergs began appearing. Horowitz says that investigative icebergs appeared rather early on, and the Justice Department not only failed to report that to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court but removed evidence that its investigation was on a collision course with the facts.
The investigation was largely based on a May 2016 conversation between Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and Australian diplomat Alexander Downer in London. Papadopolous reportedly said he heard that Russia had thousands of emails from Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. That was viewed as revealing possible prior knowledge of the WikiLeaks release two months later, which was then used to open four investigations targeting the campaign and Trump associates. Notably, Democrats and the media lambasted Trump for saying the Justice Department had been “spying” on his campaign, and many said it was just an investigation into figures like Carter Page. Horowitz describes poorly founded investigations that included undercover FBI agents and a variety of different sources. What they really discovered is the main point of the Horowitz report.
From the outset, the Justice Department failed to interview several key individuals or vet critical information and sources in the Steele dossier. Justice Department officials insisted to Horowitz that they choose not to interview campaign officials because they were unsure if the campaign was compromised and did not want to tip off the Russians. However, the inspector general report says the Russians were directly told about the allegations repeatedly by then CIA Director John Brennan and, ultimately, President Obama. So the Russians were informed, but no one contacted the Trump campaign so as not to inform the Russians? Meanwhile, the allegations quickly fell apart. Horowitz details how all of the evidence proved exculpatory of any collusion or conspiracy with the Russians.
Even worse, another agency that appears to be the CIA told the FBI that Page was actually working for the agency in Russia as an “operational contact” gathering intelligence. The FBI was told this repeatedly, yet it never reported it to the FISA court approving the secret investigation of Page. His claim to have worked with the federal government was widely dismissed. Worse yet, Horowitz found that investigators and the Justice Department concluded there was no probable cause on Page to support its FISA investigation. That is when there was an intervention from the top of the FBI, ordering investigators to look at the Steele dossier funded by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign instead.
Who told investigators to turn to the dossier? Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. He was fired over his conduct in the investigation after earlier internal investigations. Horowitz contradicts the media claim that the dossier was just a small part of the case presented to the FISA court. He finds that it was essential to seeking FISA warrants. Horowitz also finds no sharing of information with FISA judges that undermined the credibility of the dossier or Christopher Steele himself. Surprisingly little effort was made to fully investigate the dossier when McCabe directed investigators to it, yet investigators soon learned that critical facts reported to the FISA court were false. FISA judges were told that a Yahoo News article was an independent corroboration of the Steele dossier, but Horowitz confirms that Steele was the source of that article. Therefore, Steele was used to corroborate Steele on allegations that were later deemed unfounded.
The report also said that Steele was viewed as reliable and was used as a source in prior cases, yet Horowitz found no support for that and, in fact, found that the past representations of Steele were flagged as unreliable. His veracity was not the only questionable thing unveiled in the report. Steele relied on a character who, Horowitz determined, had a dubious reputation and may have been under investigation as a possible double agent for Russia. Other instances were also clearly misrepresented.
The source relied on by Steele was presented as conveying damaging information on Trump. When this source was interviewed, he said he had no direct information and was conveying bar talk. He denied telling other details to Steele. This was all known to the Justice Department, but it still asked for warrant renewals from the FISA court without correcting the record or revealing exculpatory information discovered by investigators. That included the failure to tell the court that Page was working with the CIA. Finally, Horowitz found that an FBI lawyer doctored a critical email to hide the fact that Page was really working for us and not the Russians.
Despite this shockingly damning report, much of the media is reporting only that Horowitz did not find it unreasonable to start the investigation, and ignoring a litany of false representations and falsifications of evidence to keep the secret investigation going. Nothing was found to support any of those allegations, and special counsel Robert Mueller also confirmed there was no support for collusion and conspiracy allegations repeated continuously for two years by many experts and members of Congress.
In other words, when the Titanic set sail, there was no reason for it not to. Then there was that fateful iceberg. Like the crew of the Titanic, the FBI knew investigative icebergs floated around its Russia investigation, but not only did it not reduce speed, it actively suppressed the countervailing reports. Despite the many conflicts to its FISA application and renewals, the FBI leadership, including McCabe, plowed ahead into the darkness.

Gotta keep that FISA report off the front page. After this, they have to figure out how to schedule the vote by the full House so it drags out as long as possible.
House Democrats expected to unveil articles of impeachment Tuesday
BY OLIVIA BEAVERS - 12/09/19
House Democrats are expected to unveil articles of impeachment against President Trump during a Tuesday morning press conference, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and other relevant committee chairs are expected to make the announcement, which is a sign that Democrats plan to stay on track with their fast-charging goal of wrapping up their impeachment inquiry into Trump's contacts with Ukraine ahead of the holiday season.
Multiple sources also told The Hill they believe the markup of the articles will either take place on Wednesday or Thursday, though they noted that the precise time has not been confirmed.
Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) told reporters Monday evening that Democrats are "going to work through the night" to determine the exact articles they expect to introduce, though they have heavily been indicting the rough outlines of what they believe are impeachable offenses.
Last week, Democrats heard from three constitutional scholars who said they believed Trump committed three impeachable offenses: Abuse of power and bribery, obstruction of justice and obstruction of Congress.
But one source familiar said Democrats are expected to introduce only two articles of impeachment.
Still, Nadler was tight-lipped after leaving a meeting in Pelosi's office ahead of the gathering with members of his panel and declined to comment on how the articles of impeachment would take shape.
Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) too declined to say what the announcement would be, but he assumed a more somber tone that suggested serious next steps.
"I think that a lot of us believe that what happened with Ukraine especially is not something that we can just close our eyes to," Engel said as he left Pelosi's office. "This is not a happy day."
News that impeachment articles are imminent comes on the same day that Democrats and Republicans dueled over the propriety of Trump's contacts with Kyiv.
Democrats allege that Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to commit to opening two investigations that would benefit him politically, including into 2020 political rival former Vice President Joe Biden. They also say the president withheld the promise of a White House meeting and nearly $400 million in U.S. aid as leverage, all while Trump officials repeated the requests in meetings with Zelensky representatives.

Nolte: CNN Ratings Plummet by Double-Digits During Impeachment Week
JOHN NOLTE 12 Dec 2019
Besides visceral hate for Donald Trump, one of the reasons CNN has been so openly aggressive in cheerleading for Trump’s impeachment is to boost its pathetic ratings.
Well, like everything else CNNLOL chief Jeff Zucker touches, that plan has also failed because the far-left outlet’s ratings took a double-digit nosedive last week.
While this is a slight improvement over the previous week, when CNNLOL hit a three-year ratings low, CNN is still unable to attract even a million viewers during its dreadful primetime schedule.
Compared to this same week last year, CNNLOL lost 14 percent of its primetime viewers and 15 percent of its total day viewers.
During primetime, the fake news outlet was only able to attract — in a county of 330 million where 88 million households have access to CNN — a pathetic, measly, humiliating 887,000 viewers. Throughout the day, the conspiracy-theory outlet was only able to attract a pathetic, measly, humiliating 689,000 viewers.
America’s other left-wing cable outlet, MSNBC, also lost viewers. A full 12 percent in primetime and five percent in total day … while the president of the United States is being impeached!
So how about Fox News…? Am I unfairly LOL-ing at CNNLOL when the overall trend in cable news viewership is trending down?
Nope.
Compared to this same week last year, Fox grew its primetime audience by 31 percent and its total day audience by 14 percent.
This is what’s happening…
Even Democrats, even Trump haters are tired of CNNLOL’s lies and bias and just plain-ole’ bad TV.
Look at this… I don’t care what your politics are, this is just bad TV, excruciating TV, and this is pretty much CNN 24/7 over the last four years. It’s either Jake Tapper’s resting bitchface or this:
John Ocasio-Nolte
@NolteNC
Can’t imagine why CNN’s ratings have hit a 3 year low. This is just bad TV.

Must I say this again… the president of the United States is being impeached, something that has only happened a handful of time over the 244-year history of our country, and both CNNLOL and MSNBC are LOSING viewers, and CNNLOL’s viewership loss is far worse because CNNLOL has practically no viewers to begin with.
Like I mentioned last week, people are no longer not watching CNN — this is a rejection by the public, a revulsion and turning away unlike anything I’ve ever seen in the news media before.
Here are the raw numbers via TVNewser:
FNC ranked No. 1 in prime time (2,859,000) / No. 1 in total day (1,616,000)
MSNBC ranked No. 4 in prime time (1,808,000) / No. 2 in total day (1,070,000)
CNN ranked No. 11 in prime time (887,000) / No. 5 in total day (689,000)
During its hideous primetime line-up, CNN lost to a cable channel called Freeform … and it was glorious.

Dos, I for one won't assume your not trying to stay informed on issues.
However,like any of us, your analyze that info and make your own unique conclusions.
For example, we have 9 well read legal scholars on the supreme Ct.
They can hear the same testitomny and read the same evidence for a case.
THEN, the final vote can be a 4-3.
A lot of these issues aren't objective science, like a physics problem.
It comes down to personal OPINION and judgement.
What does this have to do with cable ratings??

Fox News Ratings Hit 23-Year High
by Matt Palumbo Posted: December 30, 2019
America’s economy is as strong as it’s ever been, yet as the expansion continues uninterrupted, one industry in particular continues to shrink. The media.
While job growth in 2019 topped 180,000 per month, media giants Verizon, Gannett, Highsnobiety, and CBC, among others, shed 7,800 jobs. CNN’s prime-time ratings plummeted to three year lows. The most recent Democrat presidential debate was the least watched yet – a record previously set by the one before it.
Nobody is tuning into liberalism – but not everyone in the media is tanking harder than Elizabeth Warren’s poll numbers.
As The Hill reported:
Fox News averaged 2.5 million viewers per night in 2019, the most in its 23-year history, making the network the most-watched channel on basic cable.
According to Nielsen Media Research, Fox News beat out ESPN, with its 1.78 million viewers, and third-place MSNBC, which drew an average of 1.75 million viewers in prime time. Fox topped its cable competitors for a fourth straight year, Nielsen said.
CNN finished 22nd, with an average of 972,000 viewers per night.
Of the top five cable shows, four are on FNC. They are: “Hannity,” with 3.3 million, followed by “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” with 3.1 million. MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show” was third, with 2.78 million, followed by Fox’s “The Ingraham Angle,” with 2.57 million, and “The Five” at 2.55 million.
One pressing remains question unanswered: who are these 972,000 people tuning in to CNN every night?

Being a contrarian, this changes nothing for me. It's about ratings, ratings begets income, information about a corporation's income is most often found in the business section of a publication or media cast.
BTW, by definition, in this case I am not technically a contrarian, maybe even the opposite. :)
Contrarian: opposing or rejecting popular opinion; going against current practice.

Right, well I over simplified my comments. I don't take the other view just for the sake of doing so. If I thought the opposing view was BS, trust me, I wouldn't take it. Just like when I think your views are BS, I don't take them just to be agreeable or because I like you. That would be dumb.

RATINGS CRASH: CNN’s Brian Stelter Just Fell To Embarrassing Low With Key Demo
by Aleister January 1, 2020
When it comes to biased, liberal, anti-Trump media, CNN’s Brian Stelter is in a class all his own.
As if that isn’t bad enough, Stelter often tries to pass himself off as fair and balanced, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
It seems however, that viewers have caught on to his little game and they’re tuning him out.
Big time.
FOX News reports:
CNN’s ‘Reliable Sources’ with Brian Stelter hits rock bottom in key demo
CNN’s beleaguered media show “Reliable Sources” with Brian Stelter hit an embarrassing new low on Dec. 22, when it averaged only 85,000 viewers among a key age group.
Stelter regularly touts the significance of the news demographic of adults age 25-54 but the dismal performance marked his lowest viewership of 2019 in the category.
The dismal performance from Stelter came as Fox News’ “Media Buzz,” a direct timeslot competitor, thumped CNN’s “Reliable Sources” across the board in 2019.
Stelter’s “Reliable Sources” averaged only 748,000 total viewers for the year prior to its 2019 finale on Dec. 29, while “Media Buzz” averaged 1.3 million over the same time period.
In addition, CNN’s Sunday morning media show lost 12 percent of its viewers compared to 2018, while “Media Buzz” kept its audience with nearly identical year-to-year averages.
Among the demo, “Reliable Sources” averaged only 167,000 viewers during 2019 compared to 227,000 for “Media Buzz” prior to the Dec. 29 episodes.
The 2019 demo low of “Reliable Sources” on Dec. 22 occurred on the same day that “Media Buzz” topped its yearly demo viewership, averaging 298,000 age 25-54 viewers for its third-best performance of the year, indicating the holiday season is not what kept viewers away from CNN.
Now for some fun. Mark Dice is a YouTube humorist who often makes fun of Brian Stelter by redubbing his videos with a higher voice.
Dice recently released a ‘Best Of’ video on this and it’s absolutely hilarious.

Fox News has topped MSNBC, CNN for 18 straight years after dominant January
By Brian Flood | Fox News
Sean Hannity breaks down the House managers' arguments during the impeachment trial.
Fox News Channel has been the most-watched cable news network for 18 consecutive years, dating back to January 2002.
FNC’s 18-year streak is for both primetime and total day viewers, including the key advertising demographic of adults age 25-54.
The historic accomplishment began when George W. Bush was president and before Tom Brady won any of his six Super Bowl rings.
“For 18 years, more viewers have turned to Fox News Channel for its unrivaled news and opinion coverage than any other cable news network and we are proud of our strong team both on and off the air as we offer our audience the most dynamic programming in the country,” Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and President & Executive Editor Jay Wallace said in a joint statement.
Fox News clinched the feat with a dominant month in January 2020, averaging 1.7 million total day viewers and 2.9 primetime viewers. It was the network’s highest-rated month among total day viewers since February 2017 and since November 2016 among primetime.
While Fox News grew 28 percent compared to the previous year among total viewers, liberal cable networks MSNBC and CNN both saw declines. MSNBC averaged 996,000 viewers, down 12 percent from January 2019 and CNN managed only 751,000, an eight-percent drop.
Fox News’ 2.9 million average primetime viewership was up 33 percent compared to 2019, making it the most-watched network in all of basic cable for the month. Meanwhile, MSNBC averaged 1.7 million primetime viewers, down 13 percent from last year, while CNN’s 1.2 million primetime average was down two percent.
Fox News also gained double-digit viewers compared to last year among the key demo, while MSNBC and CNN both saw declines.
“Hannity” averaged 3.9 million viewers to finish as the most-watched cable news show as namesake host Sean Hannity is scheduled to interview President Trump during the Super Bowl LIV pregame show on FOX.
“Tucker Carlson Tonight” averaged 3.6 million to finish second, followed by 3.3 million viewers for “The Ingraham Angle.” FNC’s “The Five” averaged 3 million to finish ahead of any primetime show on MSNBC or CNN despite airing at 5 p.m. ET.
“The Rachel Maddow Show” was MSNBC’s most-watched program, finishing fifth overall.
The most-watched show on struggling CNN was Anderson Cooper’s “AC 360,” which finished No. 23 overall behind 14 Fox news programs and eight MSNBC shows. Don Lemon’s “CNN Tonight,” which President Trump recently mocked over its low ratings, was the 35th most popular show on cable news despite its cushy primetime slot.

Fox News dominates May, trounces CNN as ‘Hannity’ finishes atop cable news
By Brian Flood | Fox News
Fox News Channel finished May as the most-watched cable network for the 47th consecutive month, as viewers flocked to hear the latest information on everything from the coronavirus pandemic to the nationwide protests in the wake of George Floyd’s tragic death in police custody.
Fox News dominated primetime, averaging 3.4 million viewers between 8-11 p.m. to finish as the most-watched channel among all of basic cable during the month of May. MSNBC finished second, averaging 1.9 million followed by CNN, HGTV and TLC.
Fox News was also the most-watched network overall, averaging 1.9 million total viewers, followed by MSNBC with an average viewership of 1.2 million. CNN, HGTV, Food Network, Hallmark Channel, Nickelodeon, USA Network, A&E and History joined them among the Top 10.
“Tucker Carlson Tonight” finished May as the most-watched program on cable news among the demographic of adults age 25-54, while “Hannity” finished No. 1 overall.
FNC outdrew CNN by a whopping 72 percent among total day and a staggering 108 percent in primetime. As a result, FNC has now topped both MSNBC and CNN for 221 consecutive months in each category.
“Hannity” averaged 4.23 million viewers to finish May as the most-watched show on cable news, while “Tucker Carlson Tonight” finished second, averaging 4.19 million. “The Five,” “The Ingraham Angle” and “Special Report with Bret Baier” rounded out the all-FNC top five, as MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” finished sixth.
“Special Report” and “The Five” have now beaten MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” for four straight months despite airing earlier in the day when there are historically fewer viewers.
CNN’s most-watched program was “Cuomo Prime Time,” which finished No. 19 overall, behind 13 different Fox News and five MSNBC programs. A variety of Fox News daytime programs, such as “Outnumbered” and "Bill Hemmer Reports” finished ahead of Chris Cuomo’s CNN show despite its cushy 9 p.m. ET timeslot. Cuomo has been heavily criticized for a variety of topics in recent memory, ranging from seemingly misleading viewers about his own coronavirus quarantine to a series of widely panned interviews with his older brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Overall, CNN saw its viewership drop by 15 percent in total viewers and by 20 percent in the demo for primetime compared to last year.
“Tucker Carlson Tonight” finished as the most-watched program on cable news among the key demographic of adults age 25-54, averaging 700,000 viewers. “Hannity” averaged 672,000 viewers among the demo to finish second, followed by “The Five and “The Ingraham Angle.”
CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time" managed to finish fifth in the demo, despite its lackluster overall viewership, while MSNBC’s “Maddow” tied CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” for seventh place.
Both “Hannity” and “Tucker Carlson Tonight” outdrew broadcast heavyweights such as CBS’ “Face the Nation” and NBC’s “Today.”
“FOX & Friends,” “The Story with Martha MacCallum” and “FOX & Friends FIRST” are among the other FNC programs to top cable news in their respective timeslots, while “The Greg Gutfeld Show” surpassed CNN and MSNBC combined in total viewers.
Gutfeld even outdrew NBC’s “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon” and ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
The month saw Fox News grow 40 percent in total day and 44 percent in primetime compared to the same month last year. FNC also finished as the most-watched cable network among households earning over $100,000 per year and was No. 2 in weekday total day viewers in the younger demographic of people age 18-49.

Tucker Carlson boasts highest-rated month in cable news history
by Mike Brest, Breaking News Reporter | | October 27, 2020
Tucker Carlson Tonight had the highest ratings of any cable news show in history in the month of October.
The program, hosted by Tucker Carlson during the 8 p.m. EDT hour, averaged 5,359,000 viewers nightly, including 1,003,000 in the key 25-54 age demographic that marketers covet, according to Nielsen Media Ratings. While the total ratings made cable news history, he also became the first primetime host to reach 1 million viewers in the 25-54 demo since September 2008.
Carlson will be interviewing Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner, Tony Bobulinski, on Tuesday night. He has alleged that former Vice President Joe Biden was aware of his son’s pursuit of Chinese business deals despite the 2020 Democratic nominee’s claims to the contrary. He made headlines last week amid reporting based on contents of a laptop and hard drive that purportedly belonged to Hunter Biden, which contained emails and other data detailing his foreign business dealings.
Biden has responded to the allegations claiming that they are part of a "smear campaign." Democrats and former intelligence officials have said the story reeks of Russian disinformation, something that Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe has said there is no evidence to back up.
The interview is set to take place one week before Election Day and Carlson said on his show Monday the interview will include details "that have not been out there yet," which he claimed are being suppressed by the media.
Carlson is not the only host to experience a boost in ratings last month. Sean Hannity had the second largest audience averaging 5,119,000 viewers a night, while the network's third prime time cable news host, Laura Ingraham, had slightly more than 4 million viewers. The Fox News lineup consistently beats out competitors on cable news networks including CNN and MSNBC.
In all, the three Fox News primetime hosts collectively averaged 4,900,000 viewers, which is good for an 83% increase from October 2019.

Agreed. Do you think MSM has always behaved thus? Perhaps with cable network news programs all clamoring for a share of the pie, the need to exaggerate and even fabricate news increased. I remember when the news was actual news and not a newscaster's opinion. Opinions and interviews were on 'news magazine' shows and documentaries such as, 'Person to Person' hosted by Edward R. Murrow and '20/20' with Geraldo Rivera and Barbara Walters.

Fox seems to be the most honest in their stories, but for the most part, all MSM is struggling to survive and there is not telling whay antics they will introduce.
Then you have CNN, stoking the fear into the mindless Libby's. I'm so tired of front page stories that have "experts warn" or "a trusted source" as a legit news story.

You posted that Fox appears to be the most honest of the networks with their stories. How did you come to this conclusion? What I mean is what is your criteria for determining honesty in reporting.
All the networks have "anchors" who are basically celebrity personalities and not newscasters. Most of the content in these shows is the host's opinion. Even during interviews, they do most of the talking instead of the interviewee. I don't believe opinions are held to the same standard as reporting, in terms of honesty.

I suppose proving the most honest network is tough. My comment was based on the content that I see. They all do it, but CNN seems to do much more fear mongering and very subjective reporting with little facts at times.
Let me ask you this, why do you think Fox trump's all other news networks?

I think it is Partly because Fox is a one of. They are the only network pandering to the views of the right. There are at least three major networks competing for a left leaning audience. While there are fewer Republicans in the U.S. the spread isn't huge. Another contributing factor is that Republicans and conservatives are more likely to live in rural areas where, I suspect, television viewership is greater because...what else is their to do?

I don't think they always behaved like this, no.
However, if they were in the tank for someone back in the day, it would be harder to prove. Maybe we were fooled, but I think reporters had integrity.
Information moves too quickly now.
But you are right about the need to fabricate to get a larger share. The monetization of the internet drives it. Matt Taibbi's "Hate Inc." explains this.
Part tirade, part confessional from the celebrated Rolling Stone journalist, Hate Inc. reveals that what most people think of as "the news" is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business
In this characteristically turbocharged new book, celebrated Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi provides an insider's guide to the variety of ways today's mainstream media tells us lies. Part tirade, part confessional, it reveals that what most people think of as "the news" is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business.
In the Internet age, the press have mastered the art of monetizing anger, paranoia, and distrust. Taibbi, who has spent much of his career covering elections in which this kind of manipulative activity is most egregious, provides a rich taxonomic survey of American political journalism's dirty tricks.
Heading into a 2020 election season that promises to be a Great Giza Pyramid Complex of invective and digital ugliness, Hate Inc. will be an invaluable antidote to the hidden poisons dished up by those we rely on to tell us what is happening in the world.

The hard news on CNN airs during the off hours. Late at night and on weekends. The opinion shows get Primetime. Just as the opinion shows are aired during primetime on FOX. Fox News removed one of its only nighttime hours of news coverage. The 7 p.m. hour, anchored by Martha MacCallum and called "The Story," will become "Fox News Primetime" and will be led by a "rotating" cast of opinion hosts.

The 7 p.m. hour, anchored by Martha MacCallum and called "The Story," will become "Fox News Primetime" and will be led by a "rotating" cast of opinion hosts.
Bret Baier is hard news. He is as straight, honest, and fair as they come when it comes to news anchors.
Overall, the reason Fox News beats CNN and MSNBC like a drum is because Fox is just better at it. Smarter, funnier, more honest. (Although I frankly don't completely trust any network, including Fox.) What's crazy is how many people on CNN and MSNBC who have shows or recurring guest roles that are just not very bright. Or dishonest. Or both. Does anyone really watch Al Sharpton on MSNBC or Brian Stelter on CNN and come away thinking: those guys are really bright?

Sharpton was pure comedy gold when he had his daily show before getting demoted. The moron struggled to read the prompter and would sound out the words like a 1st grader just learning to read. They had to give him the weekend gig instead of firing him or he'd probably sue for racism.

And to think Democrats actually put him on the debate state during a presidential election season. :-[

Rev Al was so far left , the right blinker fell off his car. :o
His time on cable news has forced him to be a little less "partisan left" overall.
Mind you he's still way to the left, he's just not the same fire breather he once way.
Of course he's older and lot lighter now, so that might have mellowed him out a bit?

Thanks for bringing up Dad, a lifelong republican.
He served in the end of WWII and in the Korean war as a naval gunners mate on an aircraft carrier.
Worked his way up from basic shipwright to structural welding supervisor at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard ( Nuclear subs).
Great father show taught me how to be a man:
At age 12 , I didn't want to keep shoveling snow in my drive way.
I said fuk this and headed back in.
I only got one step down and before the 2nd , he shoved me into the snowbank.
I dusted myself off and went back to work and glanced over to him.
He just nodded his apporval that started again and never said a word. ;)

Cable, streaming, Netflix, Britbox, online movie rental/purchase and probably more. My Comcast/xfinity bill is over $260 a month and that's with a discount because I've been their customer since 1983.
What is funny is that I rarely turn on the TV before 7:00 PM and off at 11:00, with time out for dinner prep. I eat dinner between 8:00 and 9:00 PM. Still 3 to 4 hours is a lot of TV. I'm a big fan of documentaries....not so much sitcoms or reality shows.

Yeah, it is ridiculous. We didn't always have such an expensive package. It has evolved over the years. Also, after my wife became ill, home entertainment was a mainstay for her. I could reduce the cost by going to a lesser package. I also have hi-speed internet with unlimited data because with so many people using it we'd go over the limit. The package includes phone service for the landline. That is definitely something I could cut since none of us ever use it.

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell and Steve Bannon say MSNBC is 'way better' than Fox News.
Former President Donald Trump allies, Mike Lindell and Steve Bannon, said MSNBC has "better coverage" than Fox News.
"Watch MSNBC. Watch Chris Hayes or Rachel Maddow. They get better coverage... they get better coverage every day," Bannon, said on his podcast "War Room: Pandemic" on Real America's Voice earlier this week. Trump pardoned Bannon, who served as his former chief strategist and campaign CEO, in January.
MyPillow CEO Lindell responded: "Way better than Fox."

When was the last time you watched CNN or subscribed to any of the others on that list. When do you suppose was the last time The Coach did... probably never.
What you claim is similar to saying baseball competes with tennis and figure skating. Each of these have separate audiences.

That's not true at all. They are all competing for the same audience and Fox is and always has been beating them like a drum.
I don't subscribe to anything. I will never pay for news or commentary. But I have watched a lot of CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. Fox News is simply better. Smarter hosts. Funnier hosts. More honest hosts. Better looking hosts. That's why they destroy the competition.
I don't really watch much TV anymore. I catch Tucker Carlson every now and then, but I have watched enough of all of them (Rachel Maddow, Don Lemon, etc.) to have an informed opinion. How about you?

Believe what you chose. I know people who never watch any news channel except FOX and often have it on 100% of the time. They are conservative folks. I also know other people who are more liberal who refuse to watch FOX because it they believe it is totally biased to the right.
The main commonality between these diverse groups of people is that they all watch television. Only with respect to this, are various programs competing with one another for the same audience.
An almost exclusive viewership is not uncommon for many networks and cable shows because they intentionally cater to people's specific interests. 99% of the time, my late wife watched Food Network cooking shows because that was what interested her. She never watched daytime TV dramas.
It is also true that sponsorship is often geared to those targeted interests. Afterall, it is the commercials that pay for the shows production costs and provide the profits.
Note, you took the use of the term subscribe too literally. While it usually means have a paid subscription, it also means being favorably disposed. As in, I subscribe to your sentiments.

So Toobin gets suspended 8 months for choking his chicken on Zoom and Ham gets a 7 month suspension for talking about it. Helps explain why CNN is garbage.
In the Age of Quiet Quitting, I Was Quiet Suspended, And I Can't Shut Up About It
On Toobin's wake, professionalism, and the lessons I thought we learned in #MeToo
Mary Katharine Ham

Subscribe: "Getting Hammered" podcast!
People ask me these days if I’m still on TV. The answer is: not really. So, where have I been? What happened to this formerly visible part of my career?
It came to my attention in July that I had been punished under old CNN leadership— kept off air since January— for tweeting about Jeffrey Toobin in a Twitter dust-up with Andrew Kaczynski (another CNN employee) regarding our network's coverage of the 2017 Congressional baseball shooting.
You can read about that Twitter fight, here, which — although it got heated and brought in ugly trolling from others — remained basically above board between Kaczynski and me and resulted in no bad blood, as far as I knew, and as I assessed in an after-action debrief over private messages. I suppose some might reasonably conclude that critiquing CNN's coverage in a factual and calm tweet, or arguing with Kaczynski, could have spurred some disciplinary action, as it violates the rule against “shooting inside the tent” among colleagues. But it turns out that didn’t do me in. Rather, I’m told, “when it got to the comments about Jeffrey Toobin…everyone wanted a bit of a breather.”
Well, everyone but me, who had no idea there was a breather in effect. I was never informed of my punishment until it was rescinded recently by new management. No one called me or my representation about it. There was no announcement of a suspension, or notification of in-house disciplinary action, which I would have preferred, even welcomed by comparison to serving a secret sentence.
In case you're wondering, as I did, how my punishment for tweeting about Toobin compares to Toobin's suspension for his offense, I can tell you. He was off air for eight months; I was off for seven. One month was the difference between punishment for jacking off at work versus commenting on the inadvisability of jacking off at work.
On one hand, the people who made this call about me are gone from the network, so maybe I could let it lie. But on the other hand, many of my colleagues no doubt knew about my banning from air, but not the reasons behind it, thereby leaving the impression I must have done something tantamount to Toobining. I did not.
I was told it was Jeff Zucker, now gone, who put this order in place and a deputy, also gone, who kept it there. I was also told I wasn't informed of the network's displeasure because I had just had a baby and someone in the old leadership thought I might be a "loose cannon." Not as loose as Toobin's, but I digress.
(Look, if you’re gonna tell a grown-ass woman her former bosses thought her postpartum state made it problematic to inform her of routine information about her employment, she is entitled to the occasional penis pun.)
I’ve never been accused of being much of a loose cannon. Even in my worst moments of life, I can pretty much keep it between the navigational beacons, and have never before even been reprimanded for a tweet. In fact, I’d argue it takes this exact scenario, seemingly created in a lab to tick me off as much as possible, to make me fire off.
But let’s get back to talking about penises, as I did freely with the CNN employees charged with explaining this situation to me this summer.
In the #MeToo era, I have been asked to make public comment on basically every errant penis in the media, government, sports, and entertainment worlds, sometimes to the exclusion of everything else in the news, and at the expense of some amount of professional dignity. It is ironic that in shining a light on bad behavior, which is the right thing to do, you're still a woman on TV talking about penises. Every professional woman in a green room, preparing to talk about Weinstein’s penchant for potted plants for the 17th time, knows this feeling. Nonetheless, speaking up remains the right thing to do, and I flatly reject the notion, then and now, that Toobin's flagrantly errant member is the one I am not allowed to talk about— that this is the one offense about which I should be silent. I also reject the idea I’m to be quiet about being punished over it.
I’ve talked about so many instances of sexual misconduct, I had to develop a rubric for what made a credible allegation, so that I wasn’t ignoring due process entirely. Toobin didn’t need a rubric; there was video.
Despite a surprisingly sympathetic raft of pieces marshalled on his behalf about the changing nature of the pandemic-era workplace and the blurred lines that apparently made it understandable to drop trou, it was obvious to anyone with a job outside of media that this was an offense from which one need not be publicly rehabbed. It seemed obvious to me that I would not have been professionally rehabbed after such an offense, except perhaps on OnlyFans.
Megyn Kelly commented on Twitter, “There is not a woman alive who could have done anything close to what Jeffrey Toobin did (not that one would) and kept her job. What a disgusting, incestuous boys’ club. So damned tired of it.”
A lot of people wanted to say this, but did not for fear of retaliation. I know now that their fears were justified.
That is the downside of quiet, no-drama professionalism, the posture I attempt to take most of the time. That path has its upsides, and it’s often the right choice, but it can handicap you in a conflict. Avoiding airing dirty laundry has often protected those who didn't deserve it and caused the perpetuation of workplace bullshit to which I do not wish to be a party. I remain surprised that I ended up in this position in 2022, and I wish I hadn’t. The era of keeping our mouths shut about obvious sexual misconduct from colleagues did not serve us well. Wasn't that part of the lesson of #MeToo? My takeaway was that I wanted younger women to see that I spoke up about my treatment when warranted and survived, even thrived. Among those young women are my three daughters. I can’t tell them this story in good conscience if it ends with “Mom went right back to work with a smile on her face after that.” I don't get a rehabilitation interview to reflect on my absence or to plug a book, as Toobin did, but I can write this.
I was treated unfairly by the people who punished me. Simply shutting up about it does not sit right with me. In the course of any career, perhaps particularly a public-facing media career — even more a political media career — you're gonna run into some jerks who treat you badly. Sometimes it's condescension, sometimes paternalism, or harassment. The latter was the story at Fox, where I had a 10-year run during which I went completely un-harassed, a fact I am at pains to disclose every time I speak publicly about my career. Roger Ailes was not interested in me, but even in not harassing me, his actions put me in an uncomfortable position. Such is the lose-lose nature of that kind of thing. I later learned what friends and colleagues endured behind closed doors.
I have grown up in this industry, on national TV, proudly going toe-to-toe with people far older and more powerful than I since I was 26 years old. I've had three kids since I started in this business and I'm working on the fourth. I've seen great loss, my life torn asunder and beautifully rebuilt.
Through all of it, I have tried my best to make my commentary worthwhile, argue without being a total blowhard, maintain good relationships with people who disagree with me, check my own biases with those people, and act in good faith in a very strange time of a lot of political change. I know very well I'm in the ideological minority in many of the places I speak, and certainly in the Zucker era at CNN, that made me dispensable. But being the weirdo is why I went to those places, whether it's CNN, major universities, or my own hometown. I enjoy it and it benefits my brain. I believe it’s healthy to be the one in the room who disagrees, even if they don’t want to hear about how everyone was wrong about Russiagate or school closings.
To that end, I thought hard about how I should behave in this situation. I have not been asked to leave CNN. In fact, I've been invited back by the new guard to do the job I was prevented from doing by the old guard. Clean slate, as if nothing happened. But something did happen.
I have never been great at being quiet, and it’s not in my nature to start. So, that’s where I’ve been. I determined it was impossible for me to come back without saying why I’d been gone.

or it could be that the story on newsmax regurgitating a story from the Washington Times about a survey done for the "conservative Media Research Center" might just be biased
the January 6th committee hearings got between 15-20 million views so maybe CNN should spend more time on that topic if they want more viewers

Judge sends Dominion’s $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News to trial

Fox News settles lawsuit with Venezuelan businessman it accused of helping rig the 2020 US presidential election, as it readies for $1.6 billion Dominion trial
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Fox+News+settles+lawsuit+with+Venezuelan+businessman+it+accused+of+helping+rig+the+2020+US+presidential+election%2C+as+it+readies+for+%241.6+billion+Dominion+trial
Fox News settled a lawsuit filed by Venezuelan businessman Majed Khalil, who accused the news outlet of defamation after then-Fox Business News host Lou Dobbs claimed on air that Khalil helped rig the 2020 US presidential election.
Shortly after the election, Dobbs took to Twitter to call it a "cyber Pearl harbor" and said that Khalil was a "liaison with Hezbollah" who had executed an "electoral 9-11."
The former Fox host also accused Khalil and other Venezuelans of being involved in a scheme to oust former president Donald Trump.
Khalil filed a $250 million lawsuit against Dobbs, Fox News, its parent company Fox Corporation, and Sidney Powell, a former lawyer for Donald Trump, in December 2021 in Manhattan federal court.
In the lawsuit, Khalil denied he had any affiliations with Dominion and Smartmatic, the two election technology companies Dobbs alleged he worked with. A person familiar with Khalil's employment previously told Insider he worked in the hospitality business.
In May, Khalil beefed up his legal team by adding Benjamin Chew and Camille Vasquez, two attorneys who successfully represented Johnny Depp in his defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard.
US District Judge Louise L. Stanton dismissed the allegations against Powell in August of 2022, ruling that she couldn't be held liable in New York because she made claims about Khalil while in a different state.
Fox News and Fox Corporation filed countersuits against Khalil in October, arguing he had genuine ties with the Venezuelan political elite, that his name was only briefly mentioned in broadcasts, and that those mentioned were protected by the First Amendment.
In a court filing Saturday, lawyers for the parties told Stanton that they had "reached a confidential agreement to resolve this matter."
The case against Fox was "amicably" resolved, a Fox News representative said, without giving further details. An attorney representing Khalil didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
But the network still faces major legal battles related to its coverage of Trump's election loss.
Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems are soon expected to face off in a trial in Delaware court.
The election technology company, asking for $1.6 billion in damages, alleges the right-wing network defamed it by pushing conspiracy theories — including from Powell and Dobbs — falsely claiming it rigged the 2020 election results.
Dobbs' show was canceled by Fox Business Network in February 2021, shortly after he was named in election company Smartmatic's $2.7 billion suit against Fox. The London-based technology firm accused the network of broadcasting more than 100 false claims, including the assertion that Smartmatic shared its technology with rival company Dominion Voting Systems.
Revelations from filings in the Dominion lawsuit have already significantly damaged the network's reputation, showing that Fox News producers, executives, and hosts privately trashed election conspiracy theories while presenting them as credible to audiences.
The trial is set to begin on April 17, with some of Fox's most controversial personalities — Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Maria Bartiromo — expected to be called as witnesses.

Judge Says Fox News Can’t Argue Spreading the 'Big Lie' Was Newsworthy
Frequent protesters from Rise and Resist stood in front of the Fox News building in New York City last month with signs citing court documents stemming from the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit.
Fox News is going to need to rethink its strategy and excuses for why it promoted the lies of the 2020 election deniers. On Tuesday, a Delaware judge said during a pre-trial hearing that Fox News won’t be allowed to try and convince jurors its promotion of the “big lie” conspiracy was all just regular journalistic practice covering a sitting president.
“Just because someone is newsworthy doesn’t mean you can defame someone,” Davis told Dominion and Fox’s lawyers, according to The New York Times.

Fox News Attorneys Committed ‘Misconduct’ by Withholding Trump Lawyer Tapes as Evidence, Judge Rules
Recordings of conversations between Fox News employees and attorneys who tried to help Donald Trump overturn the 2020 election were improperly withheld as evidence in Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation case, the Delaware judge overseeing the $1.6 billion lawsuit ruled Wednesday.
Judge Eric Davis ruled that Fox News lawyers had committed “discovery misconduct,” according to the Los Angeles Times, and it wasn’t his only rebuke of the defense: Davis also said during Wednesday’s pretrial conference that he was considering sanctions against network lawyers for not properly disclosing that Rupert Murdoch was has an executive chair role at Fox News.
The existence of the tapes came to light last week in a separate civil action filed against Fox News by Abby Grossberg, a former Maria Bartiromo producer. Grossberg is separately suing the network for discrimination and wrongful termination.
In that lawsuit, the plaintiffs presented taped conversations with Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell that were recorded before and after appearances on Bartiromo’s show in November 2020. In one of those conversations, Giuliani says he has little evidence to back up claims he had made on the program.
Fox said in a statement Wednesday that it “produced the supplemental information from Ms. Grossberg when we first learned it.”
Dominion is asking for $1.6 billion in damages for what it says are defamatory statements about its voting machines in multiple reports, guest segments and host commentary. Fox has maintained it was merely reporting the news, and has dug in its heels on what could be a landmark First Amendment case.
Trial is set to begin Monday.

There is a pretty good chance that Fox will nab another historic achievement as well. Just not the kind they are hoping for.

When you said "proof is in the numbers" I thought you had actually looked at data. Doesn't sound like it.
You're certainly welcome to your opinion, but I don't think it's fact-based. The Fox News hard news anchors and opinion show anchors are just better. That's what the numbers consistently show.

Direct TV's Newsmax was rated 50th before it ceased to air on cable. On the other hand, Liberal viewers have multiple choices.

Let's go by the Trumpturd's usual whinings :
1- The MSM lies to you, you can't believe the MSM.
2- Fox at the top is clearly MSM.
3- Fox lies. No debate to this. Flat out in the open.
Therefore more people watch Fox because they need the lies to cope with reality and facts when they don't their way. They need the "alternative facts" to get through the day and tell them what to think when confronted with the truth. Unless of course you want Trumpturds to admit that FOX lies. Which, of course, only validates the fact of their high ratings.

Is it not possible that you believe FOX News is 'better' because you are much more likely to agree with the news and opinions presented by a conservative cable news channel. Not saying there is anything wrong with this. People gravitate toward foregone beliefs. Seeking affirmation is human nature.

The "garbage" network isn't the one going to trial for blatantly lying, attempting to convince people that a fair election was "stolen", which in turn caused many to forego their personal freedoms in an effort to interfere with an exchange of Presidential power and administration.

This reads as though Newsmax is/was a production of DirecTv. This is not the case. DirecTv simply made the choice to no longer offer it. It's called capitalism in some circles. That bein said, my cable provider WOW offers Newsmax. I watch a little of it every day.

We want to see you get up there admit you knowingly lied to your idiotic followers. We want to see you admit the shit you peddled was false. And you knew it. Take your lumps you sissies.
Better yet, follow Trumpy's advice and just keep lying. :D Since that has worked out great so far. For him and you! ;D

Former President Donald Trump on Monday called on Rupert Murdoch to back false information about the 2020 presidential election ahead of the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit Dominion Voting Systems has pursued against Fox News and its parent company.
Trump on Truth Social alleged that Fox News is “in big trouble if they do not expose the truth on cheating in the 2020 election.” There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud that would have impacted the outcome of the 2020 race for the White House.
The former president suggested that the media tycoon and chair of the Fox Corporation “should say that ‘he just didn’t know,’ but that is hard to believe.”
“Rupert, just tell the truth and good things will happen,” Trump added.

Nothing says you are guilty like agreeing to pay the other party $787.5 MILLION to avoid a trial where it would have become (even more) so revealing that you knowingly peddled lies to your viewers.
Anyone believing in a “stolen election” at this point is just laughably retarded.

There are those who will never believe the 2020 election wasn't rigged or stolen regardless of how hard they get slapped in the face with the truth. Personally, I wish Dominion and Fox hadn't settled. Ultimately even if they had gone to trial and the truth was repeatedly publicly outed, it would not have changed some of the diehard's opinions that the 2020 election was stolen.

I was hoping for the Alex Jones Beat Down treatment they were going to get in court for the public to see.
The best part would be seeing how Fox would report the news on it's own trial. :D

CNN anchor Jake Tapper couldn’t help but laugh on Tuesday over Fox News’ spin about its “journalistic standards” after the conservative cable giant suddenly settled with Dominion Voting Systems just hours into a blockbuster defamation trial.
During the first day of an expected six-week trial over whether Fox News committed “actual malice” by airing voter fraud lies about Dominion after the 2020 election, the network agreed to a hefty settlement of $787.5 million. The voting software firm was originally seeking $1.6 billion in damages.
While Dominion’s legal team noted that “lies have consequences” and the company’s CEO added that Fox “admitted to telling lies about Dominion that caused enormous damage,” the network attempted to place a positive spin on the record-setting settlement.
“We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems. We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false,” the network stated. “This settlement reflects FOX’s continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward.”
That statement was just a bit too much for Tapper, who struggled to compose himself while reading it on air.
“Fox putting a positive face on what can only be interpreted as one of the ugliest and most embarrassing moments in the history of journalism,” he said on Tuesday afternoon. Once he began reading the network’s remarks, he immediately chuckled over Fox’s description of the defamation lawsuit over election lies as a “dispute.” Attempting to continue, he apologized to CNN viewers for his inability to stop laughing.
“I’m sorry. This is going to be difficult to say with a straight face,” the veteran anchor declared before reading aloud the portion of the statement in which Fox lauds its “continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards.”
While Tapper was able to get through the entire statement, it took a few more pauses and guffaws before he saw it to its completion.
Shortly after the settlement was reached, CNN reported that part of the terms of the settlement was that Fox News will not have to acknowledge on air that it promoted lies about Dominion during the 2020 election.

$787.5 million is about the equivalent to a parking ticket since Fox’s revenue is about $14 billion per year. Dominion wasn’t the be all to end all when it came to stealing the vote, it was barely a factor.

Fox News says little on air about its $787.5 million settlement with Dominion.
Fox News's $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over its coverage of false vote-rigging claims in the 2020 U.S. election made headlines on Tuesday, except on the cable channel itself, whose mention of it was somewhat muted.
Hosts Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, who had been expected to testify in the Dominion trial, did not reference the settlement, the largest struck by an American media company, during their primetime broadcasts on Tuesday night.
Dominion had alleged that statements made on Carlson's show after the 2020 election were defamatory and that messages between Carlson and his team were proof he and his team knew claims that Denver-based Dominion's ballot-counting machines were used to manipulate the election in favor of Democrat Joe Biden were false.
Fox anchor Neil Cavuto broke into his headline news show "Your World" about 4:30 p.m. ET to report the settlement and read a statement by Fox in which it said it was pleased to have reached an agreement to avert a trial and acknowledged the judge's ruling that the claims about Dominion were false.
Howard Kurtz, the host of Fox News' MediaBuzz show, appeared on Cavuto's show and during "Special Report with Bret Baier." On "Special Report" Kurtz read the Fox statement, but did not include the dollar figure of the settlement.
In response to a Reuters request for comment about Fox's coverage of the settlement, a spokesperson shared the company's statement about the Dominion settlement that aired on Cavuto and Baier's shows.

FOX News has dissenting viewpoints??? Who knew?
CNN claims to have them as well. It makes for a more lively discussion. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/01/14/scott-jennings-amanda-carpenter-trump-republican-reflection-ctn-vpx.cnn
Is it not possible that you believe FOX News is 'better' because you are much more likely to agree with the news and opinions presented by a conservative cable news channel. Not saying there is anything wrong with this. People gravitate toward foregone beliefs. Seeking affirmation is human nature.
I believe Fox News is “better” because I have watched those three networks and reached a reasonable conclusion. And my conclusion is supported by the numbers.
No, CNN and MSNBC do not regularly have people with opposing viewpoints. What they do is get people like Michale Steele, who still calls himself a conservative, who is indistinguishable from Joy Reid. It’s a joke.
But Fox News opinion and hard news shows regularly (and I want say almost always) have Democrats and liberals/progressive on their shows.

I was about to say that is some serious coin till I read your post. It’s still a big number that recognizes the risk they faced of getting whacked, but I don’t think it’s going to affect the network.

As I previously suggested revenue (gross) doesn't mean much, net worth or net income does.
Net income can be defined as a company’s net profit or loss after all revenues and expenses have been accounted for.
For example, if your salary is $100,000 a year would a $50,000 payout be peanuts? Subtract taxes, debts and all other living expenses and you probably don't have $50,000 remaining unless you have a meager lifestyle.

So, you are discounting 3/4 of a billion dollars as pocket change. Ok... lets forget the amount. Lets pretend it's $1 or $400 billion dollars. It doesn't change the fact that FOX was wrong. Agree?

Well, if he moved to CNN he would have to about face his entire schtick from right to left. Should not be a problem... lol!

Gee, golly, gosh, is Lemon past his prime? How ironic is that? I hear Fox has an opening, is it okay to be a sexist and an ageist on FOX? Maybe Lemon could fill the 'token' gay newscaster slot, formerly held by Shepard Smith (1996-2019). It would be quite big shift from left to right. :)
Fox News' election lies vs. sexism from CNN's Don Lemon. The difference? Accountability.
Lemon's comment about Nikki Haley on CNN was as insulting as it was ludicrous. But he at least had the decency to apologize, and he's now feeling the weight of accountability. Fox News ... not so much.

That is a bummer. It is not how anyone wants to be 'promoted'. The trick is to quit before you get canned. Early on when I first started working, I had a couple of surprises like you did. Being fired is humiliating even when you deserve it, (I was chronically late to work and occasionally insubordinate).
As best as I know FOX has not made a statement about Tucker’s promotion out the door. I wonder if that was part of the settlement with Dominion. ‘We will settle, but you have to fire one of your highest profile personalities’.
-
Carlson can easily regroup, partner with someone like O'Keefe, Crowder, etc and be very successful.
Lemon got away so much due to his race and sexual orientation, and will likely not fare as well.

My guess is that Tucker Carlson will seek out a position like the one he held at FOX. The problem is there aren't a lot of choices. There are fledgling conservative outlets such as Newsmax and One America News. The question is can either of them afford him? Reportedly he earned around $6 mil at FOX and has a net worth of around $30 mil.
Lemon, on the other hand, was paid around $4 mil and has a net worth of around $12 mil. He has the luxury of there being several other 'liberal leaning' news networks for him to choose from assuming they would hire him. He is not my favorite new person. He is more interested in being a personality that in reporting the news… He has too much attitude for my taste and a lacking sense of humor and sharp wit like Rachel Maddow.
CNN has been undergoing a huge change lately. Many of the primetime positions are held by women. There is nothing wrong with this, it is just a big change from prior times.

You are correct. I never liked him either.

Nobody with fame or who can generate interesting content needs the networks. Look at Joe Rogan for example. That's the new way of things. Podcasts, Rumble, Substack, etc let people operate independently without being influence by corporate bullshit.
Whether anyone here likes Tucker or not is irrelevant. He has millions of followers, and doesn't need an OAN or Newsmax, etc...

Generally, when the words "effective immediately" are included, it means they got fired and most likely either escorted out of the building or told not to come in at all.

Really dumb move by Fox News. Tucker should start a podcast and he will immediately start giving Ben Shapiro a run for his money.
Fox has survived losing Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and Megyn Kelly, all of whom were ratings juggernauts before leaving. I have no idea who is on their bench who can pull 3 million viewers a night like Tucker.
I think this might be the beginning of the end for Fox as the dominant leader in ratings.

I seem to remember you and I once had a discussion about Tucker Carlson a couple of years ago wherein you made it obvious that you really thought highly of him. Among other reasons because he was a 'family man' with a wife and kids.
Not sure I agree that this might be the beginning of the end for Fox. Fox is much bigger than Tucker Carlson who previously worked for CNN (2000–2005) PBS (2004–2005) MSNBC (2005–2008) and finally Fox News (2009–2023). How funny would it be if he went to work for a 'lib' network again reinventing himself as a liberal who finally saw the light. ;)

That is what history shows. And I had the same thoughts when Megyn Kelly left. Then Tucker replaced her and knocked it out of the park.
I’m just not convinced until I see it that they have someone on their bench who can fill that void. They also seem to be undergoing an organizational change.

If I talked about Tucker Carlson being a “family man,” I don’t remember. But I do remember saying I really like him. He was the best opinion host on Fox News and the only one who always told the truth, regardless of politics, and talked about things others were afraid to touch. He was essentially the male version of Megyn Kelly.

Clearly Fake - of course - can't pass up the opportunity to say something stupid.

Former GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake on Tuesday suggested that Fox News was “in bed with the left” after the conservative channel ousted Tucker Carlson. (Watch the video below.)
“It’s very obvious right now that Fox News has become the establishment GOP, which is really the uniparty Republicans,” she said on the competing conservative outlet Newsmax. “They’re the ones who are really in bed with the left.”

Very recently Tucker's been accused of talking out of both sides of his mouth with regards to Trump, some of Trump's attorneys, a stolen election, and Dominion voting machines, saying one thing to his viewership and another opposite opinion in private... emails and conversations. If this is true, how could it be that he always told the truth?

Because what you say is not true. Tucker never pushed the Dominion stuff. He tried to get Sidney Powell on his show and she refused. He called her a nut, both publicly and privately. He has talked about certain parts of the election that were rigged (the mules, Mark Zuckerberg's illegal influence, suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, etc.). He has been consistent.

If he and the others hadn't lied and feed their viewers the stolen election bullshit, there would probably have no lawsuit against Fox News.

The election WAS stolen.
Maybe not by manipulation voting machines, but through big tech censorship, media dishonesty, and such.
And Trump could have still one if he didn't f up Covid and prepared better for the debates.

Based on votes the election was fair and solid. I am sure the majority of people in that election already had their minds made up who they were voting for and nothing on the news, social media, or restroom wall was going to change their minds.

No, the election was not "fair and solid." Biden won, but the polls shows that the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story alone changed the outcome of the election.
FLASHBACK: 16% of Biden voters would have voted differently if Hunter Biden laptop story was not suppressed by media, big tech
A poll previously put out by the Media Research Center showed that fully 16 percent of voters who were unaware of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal would have switched their minds and not voted for Joe Biden for president, had they known about it at the time.

He pushed the narrative that the Dominion settlement was the basis of.
If he and the others hadn't lied and feed their viewers the stolen election bullshit, there would probably have no lawsuit against Fox News.
No he didn't. He never pushed the Dominion stuff. Not publicly. Not behind closed doors. The Dominion lawsuit had nothing to do with Tucker.
-
Because what you say is not true. Tucker never pushed the Dominion stuff. He tried to get Sidney Powell on his show and she refused. He called her a nut, both publicly and privately. He has talked about certain parts of the election that were rigged (the mules, Mark Zuckerberg's illegal influence, suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, etc.). He has been consistent.
Reportedly, Tucker said one thing about stolen elections, etc. to his viewers and opposing remarks to his co-workers and in private.
And then he was fired!
According to what I read he has hired Bryan Freedman a high-profile attorney with plans to sue Fox for wrongful termination. Guess we will have to wait to see what that exposes and how it is resolved.
Rubin was asking Carlson about CNN anchors like Brian Stelter, Chris Cuomo, and Don Lemon — he called them "clown people" — who “just lie again and again.”
Here’s what Carlson said:
“I guess I would ask myself, like, I mean, I lie if I’m cornered or something. I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV. I just don’t — I don’t like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever, but to systematically lie like that, without asking yourself, why am I doing this?”
Tucker Carlson stated on November 8, 2022, in election night coverage on Fox News:
“Electronic voting machines didn't allow people to vote” in Maricopa County, Arizona.
Tucker Carlson
stated on June 10, 2022, in in a TV segment:
“Not a single person in the crowd on January 6 was found to be carrying a firearm. Not one.”

Jun 17, 2022 — WASHINGTON – An Indiana man pleaded guilty today to carrying a loaded gun on Capitol grounds and assaulting law enforcement officers during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Mark Andrew Mazza, 57, of Shelbyville, Indiana, pleaded guilty in the District of Columbia to assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon and carrying a pistol without a license.
Is Tucker's truthfulness a case of semantics?
Now comes the claim that you can't expect to literally believe the words that come out of Carlson's mouth. And that assertion is not coming from Carlson's critics. It's being made by a federal judge in the Southern District of New York and by Fox News's own lawyers in defending Carlson against accusations of slander. It worked, by the way.
Just read U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil's opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox's lawyers: The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.'

He pushed the narrative of a stolen election. Dominion suffered because of the lies of a stolen election that people believed. He may not have said the word "Dominion", but he fanned the flames with his lies nonstop.
Dominion Voting Systems alleged in its lawsuit that Carlson allowed debunked election-fraud claims about the voting-technology firm to air firm to air on his show. He gave the liars a soapbox to scream from.

No, the election was not "fair and solid." Biden won, but the polls shows that the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story alone changed the outcome of the election.
FLASHBACK: 16% of Biden voters would have voted differently if Hunter Biden laptop story was not suppressed by media, big tech

Wait. You said he lied about the Dominion stuff. Are you acknowledging that you got your facts wrong about that?

What specific people were allowed to push Dominion lies on Tucker's show?
-
Yes the election was fair and solid. Mind changing aside, the votes were never changed or stolen or flipped.
I just gave you poll numbers showing it was not "fair and solid" because of the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story. There were former CIA directors and about 50 other "intelligence officials" who signed a letter lying about the laptop being Russian disinformation, which directly led to Biden winning in 2020. You can keep plugging your ears and saying "la la la," but the evidence is there.
-
No he didn't. He never pushed the Dominion stuff. Not publicly. Not behind closed doors. The Dominion lawsuit had nothing to do with Tucker.
Does the FOX - Dominion settlement have anything to do with Tucker Carlson and his private emails and conversations in your opinion?
BTW, you are right I mentioned Dominion in connection with Tucker in my much broader post about Tucker's honesty or lack thereof. This was my error. I didn't watch the Tucker Carlson show on FOX nor follow him in the media so how would I know if he specifically lied about Dominion.
If Tucker had said the same things on air as he did in private, would FOX still have fired him? Moreover, would he have been fired sooner because his opinion was inconsistent with what FOX viewers wanted to hear and FOX wanted to feed their viewers. If he wasn't lying to his audience, he also wasn’t really telling them the truth, was he? There is lying and there is also lying by omission. Is one less of a lie than the other?

Tucker did not give any kind of platform to the Dominion allegations, so no Dominion's lawsuit had nothing to do with him. As I mentioned, he tried to get Sidney Powell on his show, but she refused to show up. Had she appeared, he would have ripped her a new one, which is probably why she ghosted him.
I don't know why Fox fired Tucker. Neither one of them has said. And he technically hasn't been fired yet. They just took him off air. He is still under contract. He is likely negotiating his exit and they are trying to see how they can silence him.
Also, Fox is engaged in some pretty dirty stuff, releasing hot mic moments to the New York Times to try and interfere with his ability to get hired somewhere else.
If they do not course correct, they are going to lose their position as ratings juggernaut. They have already been bleeding in ratings since Tucker left, including losing to MSNBC in his time slot. Lawrence Jones is supposedly his temporary replacement. I like him, but no way does he bring in over 3 million viewers a night like Tucker.

I never said he pushed the Dominion stuff claimed by Powell. He was a bold face liar that pushed the stolen election lies and gave people a reason to believe it to be true and a soapbox for the liars to peddle their crap.
Hell he just rolled over and played dead with Trumpy was on there himself with the bullshit. And gave Pillow Guy an open forum for his Dominion claims including that he found "machine fraud". Other liars include Rudy and MTG. All of them peddled their lies on there.

What stolen election lies did he push?
He did not give anyone an open forum on Dominion stuff. I'm going to assume you're misinformed and not just lying about it. Easy to happen given all of the false info put out by the "media."

Tucker did not have anyone on his show promoting the Dominion stuff. So you can keep trying to pretend like all complaints about the rigged election in 2020 are the same, but they clearly are not.
The Dominion suit was over lies about them switching votes from Trump to Biden, not about the Hunter Biden laptop, mules, Mark Zuckerberg's illegal influence, etc. This isn't hair splitting. It's about facts. Your facts are wrong.
If you want to say the Dominion suit was about Maria Bartiromo giving a platform to the Dominion stuff, then you have a point. If you are claiming it was Tucker, you are either lying or willfully ignorant.

I said he pushed the narrative through stolen election lies. The entire Dominion suit was about LIES. Tucker lied. Tucker had guests on his show that were known liars and pushers of the stolen election lawsuit.
Bottom line, if he wasn't lying and giving a platform for liars, then he would not have been named in the lawsuit. I am sure will see this when he takes the stand on the other lawsuit.

So, of all the liars we've seen - Maddow, Fauci, Birx, Wolenski, etc, it's Tucker who actually will be held accountable.

It's just my opinion that when Tucker is on, he's spot on, and and a necessary voice to counter the neo-liberal stink that's permeated everything.
Cable news is going the way of the dodo anyway, and the independent news sources will continue to rise, so Tucker is going to be a-ok.
But I think the lies of the group I mentioned in the previous post caused infinitely more damage. I want all the liars to be held accountable - both left and right - as I've gotten sick of having to read 5 different articles for verification if I want to believe one sentence of a news report.

Maybe we will if Tucker takes the stand. The Smartmatic lawsuit may also be settled at the last minute by FOX to avoid a trial. Smartmatic is seeking a $2.7 billion judgment against FOX, which is considerably more than Dominions original ask.
Should it come down to Tucker taking the stand, do you think he will somehow 'throw FOX under the bus?" On the other hand, FOX may have fired Tucker to discredit him in advance of a settlement or trial.
I think if you ask Dos Equis, he will make it clear that he believes the election was stolen one way or another. He has a lot of company in this except with the courts who have consistently thrown out any claims of it being stolen election.
Trump lost, period. He won't ever publicly admit it though. I shudder to think what will happen if he is the Republican nominee and loses once again... even if he is somehow a third MAGA party nominee. Some people (Trump) never know enough to recognize the party is over and just go home.

There was no stolen election. Anyone thinking that at this point is just flat out retarded. End of story. Time to move along to the next excuse.
-
in the unlikely event he fails to win the Republican party nomination will he then claim the party election was rigged against him ?
True to form, Trump will claim someone other than him is responsible for whatever happens, unless it is something good than he will take sole responsibility as if he did it all on his own. ;D

Hope you realize you just inadvertently called Tucker a liar by including him in your list of liars and saying he will be held accountable. Pretty sure that is not what you meant to do.

Fox's strength is the fact that America has an abundance of angry, uneducated, failures in life type whiners that will not only dedicate hours a day, every day of their lives to watching the network, they will brag about doing so. As if being hooked on a multimedia advertising empire to receive your marching orders is an asset in life? But it's what they do, FOX knows it and of course, makes mountains of cash from doing so. And if you think their viewers and supporters will be any smarter after the network was proven to be blatant liars in court by their own words, text messages, and private conversations, then you don't understand these people and just how fucked up in the head they are.
It's just like the fact that only dumb people think Trumpy is smart.

If there were to be a WWIII, which I doubt there will be, it won't be the U.S. who starts it.
The border is a mess... is this something new? Seems like it has been a mess for quite some time. Here's a link to an interactive map showing Latinx immigration since 1850 up until 2017. Note that the bulk of folks immigrated here from Mexico through out all those years. https://depts.washington.edu/moving1/map_latinx_migration.shtml
Many people believe the government is corrupt and it has been for a very long time. Unfortunately, too many of those folks don't bother to vote which to me means they really have no say it how corrupt it is or isn't. A recent poll show that a greater number of voters believe the Trump family is more corrupt than the Biden family. See the chart below.
Hope you don't mind if I continue to make my own decisions regarding maintaining excellent health. I don't tell you what to do about your health or call you an idiot because you refuse to wear a mask or get a COVID vaccine. Maybe you worry too much about what others do. What's it to you if someone chooses to wear a mask or get vaccinated?
LOL. Haven't you heard; masks are out of fashion now. Yippee!
As for booster shots, it looks like I could have one if I wanted. On April 18th, the Food and Drug Administration authorized a second bivalent COVID booster for people aged 65 and older or immunocompromised. My plan is possibly to get it once a year and I already had one this year. -Just read that the FDA approved the first RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) vaccine for older adults. Maybe, I will go with this instead to lessen the possibility of getting pneumococcal pneumonia, which I am prone to. When I have a physical later this month, I run these ideas by my physician. A few years back he talked me into getting a flu vaccine each year, which I have not regretted since I continue my record of never catching the flu.

I have no idea, but he already sent Fox a letter accusing them of breaching his contract. They made a colossal mistake in not only firing him, but the manner in which they did it: no notice, no reason, no message to his audience, leading tapes to try and damage his reputation, etc.
They have lost over half his audience and I don't think they are coming back.

It is surprising when people holding important well-paid jobs are not savvy enough to consult with their company's legal department before dismissing a person. On the other hand, they may have feared the message he would have sent his audience which would account for them not providing him with the opportunity. As for no reason, I suspect there was a good reason. At least in the minds of those in charge. Employment contracts can be complicated. We don't know what their or his thinking was.
Tucker was popular with his audience for sure. Whether they stick with him in if he ends up using a format like Twitter, I do not know. His show was an hour long. People tweet on Twitter. A tweet is short. Last I read, tweets are limited to 4000 characters. Videos are limited to 512MB and a couple of minutes play time. I guess we will have to wait to see what his 'show' will be like using the tweet format.

It is surprising when people holding important well-paid jobs are not savvy enough to consult with their company's legal department before dismissing a person. On the other hand, they may have feared the message he would have sent his audience which would account for them not providing him with the opportunity. As for no reason, I suspect there was a good reason. At least in the minds of those in charge. Employment contracts can be complicated. We don't know what their or his thinking was.

I’m reading bits about twitter TV. If it launches, then we’ll be able to add the application to our smart TV (Like Amazon Prime, Disney, Youtube TV, etc.).
That’s my guess.

We don't know why they fired Tucker, because they haven't said why. They apparently haven't even told him why he was fired. Horrible way to manage this whole thing. The truth will come out eventually. But I don't believe the people who stopped watching are coming back.
Tucker had the highest rated show in primetime on all of cable TV.

I don't think Hannity can do what Tucker did, if that is the route they are going.
Fox News Says No Decision Made On Primetime Changes After Report Of ‘Hannity’ Move To Tucker Carlson’s Former Slot
By Ted Johnson
Political Editor
May 17, 2023
Fox News said that it is considering changes to its primetime lineup following the exit of Tucker Carlson, but it suggested that a report that Sean Hannity would fill the slot was premature.
“No decision has been made on a new primetime line-up and there are multiple scenarios under consideration,” a network spokesperson said.
The statement came after Drudge Report blared out a main headline that Hannity was being prepared to take over the time slot, with Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld also being prepared for primetime slots. Where that leaves Laura Ingraham’s show, which airs at 10 p.m., is unclear.
Lachlan Murdoch Compares CNN's Donald Trump Town Hall To Fox News's Coverage Of His Unfounded Election Claims: "If You Believe That Is Newsworthy In 2023, Well Certainly It Was ... In 2020"
Before he was dropped by the network last month, Carlson was the most watched cable news host in primetime, averaging 3.25 million total viewers in March, the last full month of his show.
Fox News has slotted Fox News Tonight in the time period with a rotating series of hosts, including Brian Kilmeade, Lawrence Jones, Kayleigh McEnany and Will Cain. While they have generally won the time period, the gap has narrowed considerably with the closest rival in the slot, MSNBC’s All in with Chris Hayes. The loss of Carlson appears to have had an audience impact on the show it led into, Hannity, at 9 p.m. ET. The show has generally won its time slot, too, but on Monday, The Rachel Maddow Show beat it, helping MSNBC garner a rare primetime win. The caveat: Maddow’s show airs just once a week, with Alex Wagner filling the rest of the week.
Watters and Gutfeld have been two of the network’s breakout personalities since they launched their shows, replacing newscasts in their time periods. Watters airs at 7 p.m. ET and Gutfeld at 11 p.m. They both are also regulars on The Five, the top rated program in cable news, at 5 p.m.
At the MoffettNathanson conference on Wednesday, Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch touted the network’s ability to maintain a top ratings position despite the loss of major personalities, including Glenn Beck, Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly. He did not address the circumstances of Carlson’s exit, and declined to talk about Fox News’ programming decisions.

Interesting. As best as I can tell Tucker hasn't tweeted since May 9th. Timing is everything. If he's going to launch a show on Twitter, he should get on it soon lest folks forget about him.

Sounds like another "historic victory" is in the works.
"The FOX pundits were tired of having to ignore the investigative teams results. They were told to just use their imaginations instead. Scary that despite how Fox admitted to fleecing their viewers, their viewers still just choose to believe the lies they were told. "

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Fox+News+Layoffs+Keep+Coming+In+Wake+Of+%24787.5+Million+Lawsuit+Settlement
The fallout from Fox News’ $767.5 million settlement to Dominion continues to shake things up at the top-rated cable news organization, which was sued by the voting box company after peddling election fraud claims following the 2020 election. The settlement is a historic one, and according to Fox News employees, it's burning a metaphorical hole in the organization’s pocket. It appears the company is rectifying the situation with employee layoffs, and the latest reports point to many reporters falling victim to the large payout.
According to employees who spoke to Rolling Stone, Fox News has laid off a group of journalists from its investigative unit, and it's claimed that the organization has nearly dissolved the entire unit at this point. Allegedly, this is a cost-saving measure to help balance the loss of funds being directed to the settlement with Dominion. But is that actually what's happening?
Many staffers believe so, stating that there's some outrage stemming from the idea that high-salaried individuals like Suzanne Scott and Maria Bartiromo are keeping their jobs while lower-tiered employees are the ones losing out. Scott is the current CEO of Fox News, and Bartiromo is an opinion host that was named in the Dominion lawsuit. Employees believe that Fox is trying to get "money off the books" before June 30. Fox News denies these claims, saying that the reporters weren't even laid off, but rather "reassigned" to different departments at the network.

Fox News fired Tucker Carlson ahead of a planned monologue promoting a conspiracy theory that a pro-Trump protester was actually an FBI informant who sparked the riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, a conservative columnist writing a biography of the ex-host said.
The columnist, Chadwick Moore, said in a video posted Monday on Twitter that he saw the monologue Carlson planned to deliver on April 24, the day Fox News took his show off the air.
"That monologue dealt with, among other things, investigations around January 6 and, particularly, Ray Epps, the only person captured on video inciting people to violence that day and allegedly an FBI informant who has still not been arrested and charged," Moore said.

Fox News Collects Studio Equipment From Tucker Carlson’s Home in Maine: ‘They Took Everything’
Fox News sent workers to dismantle and remove much of Tucker Carlson’s home-based broadcast set in Maine, The Daily Mail reported Wednesday, the latest twist of the knife in a bitter divorce between the former “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host and the cable network.
The studio was built in a converted barn on one of Carlson’s properties, where he taped “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and other shows for Fox News and Fox Nation in the summer. A person with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap that Fox owns the equipment and installed it at the network’s expense, and rightfully removed it but did not tear down the studio.
In any case, the Daily Mail reported that the studio will have to be completely rebuilt, according to the construction manager.
“Fox came in last week and got all their sh-t out of there,” Patrick Feeney, who said he is managing on-site, told the paper. “They took the set and everything, all the equipment, the chairs, the desk, the fake walls, everything.”

I have no idea if Rolls Royce is competing for your business. They are after high income (but not necessarily high net worth) people who make poor investment decisions. Is that you?

It is probably not me. Although, I wish my income was considered high. My guess is that it is modest by most folks standards and probably impoverished compared to the average Getbigger, (LOL!). My net worth is about right for someone who is financially conservative and whose income (retirement) is derived almost exclusively from guaranteed annuities.

EXCLUSIVE: According to a current senior producer at Fox News there are company-wide layoffs happening right now that no one is reporting on. “Morale miserable across teams on both news and opinion,” the producer says.
Producers are also feeling “insulted” about getting 0 or 1% increases the same week Abby Grossberg got $12m “for helping force out Tucker.”
The source also says shows are getting “frantic, bipolar guidance almost daily on blacklisted and unblacklisted guests, including sitting members of the Senate.”
Stay tuned here for more updates from the chaos unfolding inside Fox.
