Cable News Ratings Shock: Fox Slips to 3rd Place in Primetime for First Time in 17 Years
Breitbart ^ | 22 May 2017 | Ben Kew

Posted on 05/23/2017 1:23:28 PM PDT by conservative98

Fox News slipped to third place in the primetime demo for the first time in 17 years last week as competitors CNN and MSNBC enjoyed a surge in viewership thanks to a chaotic news week for President Donald Trump’s administration.

For the week of May 15-19, Fox News averaged just 497,000 viewers in the advertiser-coveted key demo of adults 25-54 during primetime hours, compared to CNN’s 589,00 and MSNBC’s 611,000, according to the Hollywood Reporter, which cited data from ratings tracker Nielsen.

Conservatives aren’t watching the news. Only the Trump bashers are watching the Trump basher stations. No BOzo, No Hillary and no Bernie....ALL IS GOOD, so why watch the news.

YES! As usual the left will think it’s because nobody is interested in “right wing” news anymore. But of course we know better. It all started back with the Trump candidacy then Megyn Kelly. FNC turned against their conservative viewers.

Got that right. And when you look at all their numbers hardly anyone is watching the three cable channels.

So when is Sinclair Broadcasting Group (alternative conservative cable new channel), coming online?

Apparently they had a glitch when Roger Ailes died, but they should be able to fill his shoes and get things started. Seriously, they can make billions of dollars if they get the show on the road.

Rupert was a capitalist when younger, and came to America for one reason only....to make money. He became a globalist years ago. His 2 sons are PROVEN leftists. Rupert, if you truly love your sons, FIRE them!

1. Move Eric Bolling back to The Five. It will not survive without him.

2. Kill The Fox News Specialist and move The Five back to their old time slot. Worthless show. Barely watchable.

3. Bret Baier. Forget Fair and Balanced. Get some real Trump support and supporters into the show and start working to save this country at least as hard as MSNBC and CNN are doing to destroy it.

4. Tucker and Hannity. Give them both all the editorial freedom they want. No questions asked.

5. The 9:00 PM EST slot. Get a gung ho Trump supporter in there to bridge between Tucker and Sean. Not sure who. All pro-Trump guests.

For starters.

He’d be doing them a favor if he fired them.

The family income should come first, even if they can’t see it.

The WSJ declared war on Trump Jan 2016. I checked it every day (M-F) There were at least 2 hit pieces every day in the Opinion section......sometimes 3 or 4.. That is 500+ for the year. Murdoch wanted to take Trump down in the worst way. He is no friend to us.

Exactly!

Isn’t this the Republican problem all over again?

They kept wanting the party to slip Left to attract voters, when what you need to do is differentiate yourself to become more appealing.

If someone wants a full on Leftist, they vote for a Democrat, or watch CNN.
