In a bizarre video retweeted Tuesday by President Donald Trump, a sinister-looking Randy Quaid is seen in a closeup with flashing lights illuminating his bearded face as he intones, “Fox News daytime ratings have completely collapsed.”

Did the actor, who posted his proclamation nearly two weeks ago, know what he was talking about?

Fox’s daytime viewership dropped 32 percent from the two weeks prior to Election Day to the two weeks after, the Nielsen company said.

The post-election, weekday average daytime viewership of 1.63 million was roughly equivalent to that of CNN (1.68 million) and MSNBC (1.71 million). CNN was up 33% and MSNBC up 9% during that time period, Nielsen said.

Conservatives can think for ourselves. We did not stop watching Fox news because President Trump criticized them. We stopped watching Fox News because they decided to become anti-conservative, anti-trump fake news

Fox's decision to turn itself into another full-fledged left wing propaganda outfit is the cause. Dead to me.

No. Fox’s betrayal of its audience and their consequent loss of trust in Fox is the cause.

By the way, we’re never coming back.

No, refusing to call Florida, Texas, and Ohio while instantly calling Arizona (Where a ton of fraud seemed to occur) was the hill they decided to die on.

I used to be a regular and loyal Fox News viewer. Whereas I never watched ANY of the other so-called news, I watched only Fox and a little News Max( when they weren’t showing late-night Hitler documentaries) Since 2003 , it was Fix and only Fox . Since Fox turned on Trump now , I have barely turned them on at all. I listen to Hannity and Levin on their radio shows , not on TV . As for all the other Fox presenters, including Carlson and Pirro , it’s bye bye .
Thinking of disconnecting from Sat altogether. If Biden gets in I will . I do not want to see or know a thing about the asshole . Unless someone does America a huge favor .

It was Fix News’ propaganda that caused it.

They removed their veil completely.

The real reason for Fox ratings drop?

Cratering of FReeper traffic on Fox online and TV. Simple.
