Posted on 07/29/2020 12:55:45 PM PDT by Conserv

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight scored the best ratings in all of cable news on Friday night and even topped the audience for all three Major League Baseball games airing on ESPN in both total viewers and in the coveted 25 – 54 age demographic. Overall, Fox News swept both total day and primetime ratings in both audiences.

According to Nielsen Media Research, Tucker Carlson Tonight pulled in 3.53 million total viewers on Friday and 561,000 viewers in the demo. Both of those numbers were tops in cable news and the former was significantly more than the combined total audience for ESPN’s 4:00, 7:00, and 10:00 p.m. MLB games, which brought in 922,000, 1.04 million, and 797,000 viewers, respectively.

Apparently I'm not the only one saying FU to baseball.

Apparently the cancel culture hasn’t gotten to enough of his advertisers for the made-up sex scandal to stick. The audience makes up for any dropouts with increased rates due to high viewership.

Obviously conservatism is dying because no one is interested in it.

Personally, I prefer Laura over Tucker, but they are both great, just in different ways.

Any sport that goes all woke instead of just playing whatever the sport should be written off as being “over”.

Amen!

I saw a tweet (one of those poll tweets) the other day, that went something like this...can’t remember, exactly....

Who has done more for the US during COVID lockdowns?

Congress
Rioters
My Pillow Guy

My Pillow Guy was in the lead.

“My Pillow Guy was in the lead.”

He has strongly hinted that he’ll be running for some office in the near future. (I hate to see him lower his standards.)

We DVR both Tucker and Laura, every night.

That way, we can delay....and watch Tucker, skip Hannity, and go straight to Laura....and skip through ads, as well.

(Except the My Pillow Guy..lol)

I saw that a chunk of Marlins games got cancelled due to inclement flu conditions. Any idea if they’re closer to shutting the whole farce down?

They’re tuning in for the UFO stuff!

Also I notice Tucker’s videos on youtube and twitter get hundreds of thousands if not millions of views as they go viral so he is reaching A LOT of people not just TV viewers.

True. If Hannity would shut-up and allow the impressive guests he is able to book to actually speak it would be a powerful three hour block.

It died after Reagan. #41 killed the budding ideology that was being built by Buckley & Goldwater. Damn shame. It had so much potential, but so few practitioners.

A baseball insider is saying that the marlins got hit with covid because several ball players partied in Atlanta(a GA covid hotspot) while they were there.

The insider said one player in particular partied his @ss off.

Yeah. I give Laura an A+, Tucker an A, and Hannity a B.

That sounds to me like a hit piece on Brian Kemp.
Who the heck knows how they caught it?

Louis Gohmert has tested positive, and he insists he’s been dutifully wearing a mask for weeks.

I don’t even have TV. I watch them on Youtube the next day. When I didn’t work from home I “watched” on my 90 minute commute to work.

I’ve been working from home now for four months. I’ve only seen snippets of each in those four months.

Meh, might as well, since it’s likely the season will be called off anyway.
