Long story FOX will be as dead as CNN by next time next year. All I see is people saying that they have stopped watching it. You are giving me some idiot nonsense that the ratings are down because the election is over. You are whistling past a grave yard. The Trump Republicans hate the Neo-Cons as much as they do the Liberals and FOX is nothing but a propaganda arm for that group. Trump Republicans will take their business elsewhere.
Exactly right!
It is like Black Friday. If Best Buy has double the normal sales this, then they drop back to normal the following week, you don't have a bunch of idiots going "OMG BestBuy Sales down 50% they going out of business!!!!!"
This is not going to be a one week trend. You really have your head in the sand. Look at all of the comments on FR, people are cutting off their aps and are finished with FOX.
Those people aren’t coming back. I would advise you to buy stock in FOX if you think it has a future.
FOX is losing it’s regular viewership. Did FOX lose 50% of it’s viewership in 2016 after the election? This has to do with FOX angering Trump voters and trying to censure them.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
“their core audience is even bigger than it was”
More than likely Fox is now getting liberals to tune in since the network leans more left than in years past.
Fox’s conservative viewers are leaving.
I haven’t turned it on since Election Day and it was on 24/7 in my household went to Newsmax and haven’t looked back not even for ONE SECOND!!! SCREW THEM they forgot who brought them to the dance!!!
I just read news articles online to get my news...and especially read here at FR to stay informed.
This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make when trying to judge how the rest of the country feels. If Freerepublic was representative of anything larger we'd live in a much better country.
Yes it did. Did ABC lose 75% of its viewership after the Superbowl? yes it did. Does it mean anything? Only that the Superbowl is over.
Liberal's hate Fox, and want it to burn. You think they are suddenly Tucker Carlson fans? Get real.
Who cares Patriots should be on FOX new’s porch making them disavow the claims of a Biden victory.
They can’t just steal an election, we the people need to take over this BS by force,
What a bunch of BS , all this typing worthlessly on our damn keyboards!
Sickening, I’m ready.
GF RIDDANCE
LOL! I’m not sorry.
I used to watch The Five, Carlson, Hannity, and Ingraham but I quit months ago. I defended Carlson when the mob was after him and #istandwithtucker was trending on Twitter (I saw it but I don’t have Twitter).
After the election fiasco and Carlson’s recent pro-Biden comments I’m done with all of them. Even if they go to another network I won’t listen to them. Unless maybe they admit to being coached by Fox on what to say and denounce it.
No, it isn’t just FR, there are many articles being written about the fact that conservatives are leaving FOX. Get your head out of the sand!
Fox is losing it’s REGULAR viewers, not it’s occasional viewers. That is why they had to hire a PR firm to stop the bleeding. You seem to be the only one in America who hasn’t figured that out.
You must be trying to win the award for most obtuse individual on FR. Even CNN acknowledged the fact that FOX was bleeding it’s conservative base.
Then why are their ratings up year over year?
And why have their ratings dropped after the election? Because the ones leaving are those who felt betrayed by FOX’s betrayal of Trump. Those are the regular FOX watchers who FOX betrayed by siding with the Democrats. So, no, this isn’t just a ‘temporary dip’ in viewership, this is a wholesale rejection of FOX news by it’s regular viewers. Don’t look at the entire year, look at the time AFTER Nov. 3. Where are they now in relation to CNN and MSNBC, they are trailing them in ratings, which didn’t happen over the year. Go but stock in FOX and lose your shirt. You clearly don’t have a clue of what is going on around you.
I've answered the question dozen times: More people watch the news during the election. When the election is over, they go back to other things.
Now answer my question. If Fox was seeing a mass exodus of viewers, why are their ratings HIGHER than they were a year ago?
