You mean that people prefer to have some facts mixed in, instead of listening to a delusional, fact-less liar?

It might appear so, but she finished 3rd, with 2.5 million viewers, meaning there are still a bunch of people out there, who don’t mind being lied to. It doesn’t speak well for them.

I cut my cable a few months ago but I hear clips of Maddow on XM Radio. She burns with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It’s weird that the Trump Curse is an actual thing. LOL. Look at the once mighty Clinton News Network - 525,000 viewers in prime time? Yikes. No wonder they hate the President. He’s costing them millions and millions in lost ads. They’re cutting back and laying off their stooge lackeys - That makes me happy.

Still not tired of all this Winning

After all these years, Hannity’s loop wore me out. Tucker Carlson and Stuart Varney are the only Fox people for me.

Hannity” finished the quarter as the most-watched show in cable news, averaging 3.2 million viewers

However tedious Hannity sometimes might be, his driving, relentless reporting exposing the deep fraud committed by a rogue Democrat government against an American president has been invaluable and perhaps even essential for the retention of our representative democracy.

That said, 3.2 million is still only 1% of 320 million.

If we want to know the general state of awareness of the American people we should focus on typical man of the street interviews which reveal an appalling level of ignorance or, perhaps worse, misinformation.

Unfortunately, the electorate is not shaped by Hannity or even Fox, there are other institutions in and out of media that are doing an entirely too thorough job.

I don’t care HOW much Hannity repeats himself...HE SERVES AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN EXPOSING THE CORRUPTION IN THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION.

I keep saying to myself...he is talking to someone who is listening for THE FIRST TIME, and I forgive him.

Who else would have the stamina to repeat as much as he does, and it MAY BE DOING SOME GOOD.

SO I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT HANNITY, for Heaven’s sake.

Hannity is going is going to suffer the same fate as Maddow if he does not stop recycling Tick, Tock, Boom, Breaking News stories.

Lawbreakers need to be brought to Justice. Period. Enough BS.

...”After all these years, Hannity’s loop wore me out. Tucker Carlson and Stuart Varney are the only Fox people for me.”...

While you may have become familiar with what Hannity has been informing us of, many new viewers are not. His work on the corruption which has the potential for taking down our Republic may be a very important contribution towards saving it and us. I am old enough now to have lived history and have now seen it erased and falsified through 3 generations, beginning with the Baby Boomers and the drug and sex culture, which now has deep roots. FOXNEWS, in my view is the only cable which holds “these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal,” with debate and illumination on all sides of the issues. My favorites, listed in importance to me are: Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Hannity, Steve Hilton, Mark Levine, The Five, Greg Gutfeld, Judge Jeanine, Maria Bartiromo, Fox & Friends, Jesse Waters..I do not care for Sheppard Smith or Cris Wallace. The others are all good, in my opinion. I stopped watching the other networks when they began the Trump hatred syndrome which is totally unAmerican and “in-your-face propaganda, 24/7. Add that to the censorship of Big Tech and we are presented with a problem of survival for them and us. It is up to FOX and their viewers to save us, if we are to be saved. My opinion.

“His work on the corruption which has the potential for taking down our Republic may be a very important contribution towards saving it and us.”

I think the investigators who appear on Hannity’s panels have done the best and most important work on the Rat corruption. They’ve done the most important work in finding and exposing the corruption

Fitton, Sullivan, and Carter have done the work DOJ won’t do, and are handing information to the authorities on a silver platter. Now, we’ll see if the DOJ cares.

“The 5” is now the Fox program I watch most outside “Special Report” at six which is straight news.

You can beat the five for beaver shots./sarc/kinda

Already this morning watching NBC (wife tunes in ) they start of with kids in cages, complaining about cost of military tanks an planes at fourth celebration in DC and the fact the DNC wasn’t given any tickets in front of the Lincoln Memorial where our President is going to speak. If Democrats were in charge you here a peep. Plus the fake news doesn’t mention at all the Obama was the one who put people behind chain linked fences. Unbearable!

He’s too much of a throwback to the W years for me.

I havent watched in so long, I’m still wondering what happened to the other guy that was across the table.

That said, 3.2 million is still only 1% of 320 million.

But it may not be the same 1% every night.

Hannity also has the fifth largest radio show in the country, reaching an average of 13.5 million each day (thanks, Google).

Maddow can't compete with that.

I can’t handle PMSNBC unless it’s just after a election that the RATS lost, then I get a kick out of it.

It must be remembered that Hillary won the popular vote. Those majority voters watch MSNBC

I share your opinion!
And just finished watching Pete Hegseth on Fox and Friends do an interview with Eddie Gallagher,his wife and his lawyer.
It was EXCELLENT, and Gallagher thanked Fox news for their support!
Very moving!!
