ALL-TIME LOW: Fox Ratings Continue to Plummet Post-Tucker
Todd Starnes media ^ | 5/2/23 | Todd Starnes

Staffers at Fox News Channel are wondering just how low the ratings will go in a post-Tucker Carlson world. The latest Nielsen television ratings, released Monday, show that more than half of Carlson’s audience has turned off the channel.

On Friday night a mere 1.1 million viewers tuned in to Carlson’s old time slot. By comparison, Carlson average roughly 3 million viewers in his final week.

A Rasmussen Reports poll shows Carlson was actually more popular than Fox News.

Of likely U.S. voters surveyed, 59% surveyed said they had a favorable view of Carlson compared with 52% for Fox. More believe Carlson’s departure will make Fox worse, not better (32%-19%).

Carlson’s exit is also impacting the rest of the channel’s primetime lineup.

You are not alone. Not a Gutfeld fan here either.

“I used to have Fox on constantly, 7 PM to midnight. With Tucker gone, I’m not watching at all. I’m really not boycotting, but he always had the best stories and commentary, and with that gone, nothing else matters.”


We did away with “television” in our household a couple of decades ago. We have a television screen which has a html cable running to a laptop. We can watch movies on our TV screen, or music videos, Trump rallies, Sunday church services, podcasts, documentaries, etc. It’s a lot better than television since we make the choice as to our selections and what is available.

We do not have FOX TV but we watched Carlson via You Tube every evening or the next morning while drinking coffee. The same for Gutfield. Having no tv and making your own viewing decisions is much better than having someone else make your viewing choices for you.

I’ll never forget that nasty smirk and comment Sandra Smith made shortly after the election. She is what I think of when I think of FOX. I have tuned them out just like I tuned out CNN and MSNBC. No difference now. If no one will ever talk about what is really going on, there’s no point in wasting time watching.

Fox news is like watching 20 different robots saying the same thing over and over again. Punctuated by 30 minutes of commercials and hour doing the same thing.

Gutfeld used to be funny, somewhat, but in my opinion he commits a cardinal sin of comedy: He laughs at his own jokes.

A real comedian doesn’t do that. They let the audience laugh.

Other than Tucker, the only Fox show I watched was Jesse Watters. He’s been gone for 2 weeks as his wife had a baby, but he takes a lot of time off otherwise. His show was good but I can watch Newsmax and get the same content.

I tuned in Newsmax today for my news.

Eric Bolling had a good show.

He featured Megyn Kelly, telling how FOX is out to destroy Tucker Carlson.

BTW, Megyn looks fabulous. She never ages.

Yes, a lot of negativity will follow the new host around, for various reasons.

Trying to assume Tucker’s place will be a career killer for the next Murdoch Mouthpiece.

The uniparty silenced Tucker because he was the only one standing up for Trump. They will try to silence him until the 2024 election.

Maria should tell FOX to “Take this job and shove it.”

She is already a billionaire and does not need the work.

Then FOX would lose half of their Business viewers.
