Tucker Carlson’s primetime show on Fox News has smashed another key barrier.
Deadline published the viewership results for cable news shows this week and Carlson, as well as Fox News, smashed all of the competition.
Television viewership data found that Carlson’s show is the number one most-watched show among Democrats in the key demographic of 25-54 year-olds.
“The data showed that Carlson pulled in 101,000 viewers who self-identified as Democrats in the 25-54 demographic. MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” and Fox’s “The Five” were tied for second place, each attracting 88,000 viewers in the key demo who self-identified as Democrats. The next two spots are occupied by Sean Hannity, who took in 81,000 young Democrat viewers, and Greg Gutfeld, who pulled 73,000,” the report found.
Deadline detailed how in May, Fox News dominated all cable news competition.
The network drew 2.27 million total viewers in primetime, up 4% from May 2021. MSNBC averaged 1.02 million, down 32%, while CNN averaged 660,000, down 28%. In the 25-54 demographic, Fox News topped with an average of 351,000 viewers, compared to 150,000 for CNN and 105,000 for MSNBC. In total day, Fox News averaged 1.46 million, up 23%. MSNBC posted 634,000, down 24%, and CNN averaged 500,000, down 19%. Fox News was the top-rated cable network overall in total day viewers. In the 25-54 demo, Fox News topped with an average of 229,000, followed by 106,000 for CNN and 70,000 for MSNBC.

I am surprised.
CNN/MSNBC ratings sinking in sync with Dementia Joe’s abysmal poll numbers.
Explains why the Dementia Joe regime and the fake news media have been out to destroy Tucker Carlson any way they can. All without success. Carlson keeps smashing them.
Tucker has figured out the way to expand both the Republican party and conservative movement — standing firm against cheap labor Chamber of Commerce types and neocons, two cancers that have plagued both.
I am not surprised.
Dims are starting to figure out that they are just as screwed as we are.
Or alternatively they are watching Tucker for opposition research...
They may be watching to hate him, but they can see that they aren’t getting anywhere near the whole story from their outlets.
Maybe, but perhaps for some, the facts will sweetly creep into their study of imagination. Heck, even a leftie like Naomi Wolf has started to see the writing on the wall.
I believe in cases like Naomi Wolf and Glen Greenwald, (also Bill Mahr to a lesser degree), you are seeing the distinction between the libertarian left (closer to classic liberalism) and the authoritarian left (closer to Marxism).
We should be taking note of this rift and exploiting it... Tucker certainly is....
Agreed. Some of the lefties (not many, but some) are not willing to lie to themselves when they smell a rat. Tucker Democrats.
Schadenfreude.
They do that for the same reason I occasionally stray over to MSNBC...to see what the enemy is up to. Difference is, they believe Tucker is lying; we KNOW that Joy is lying!
Now if Tucker and Fox would cover election theft, we could save this country.
No, the difference is Tucker is sane.
His show is very good. I liked how Jesse Waters put that slug Bill Barr on the hot seat last night. These Libs and elected officials are not our friends and the hosts cant be friends with them, they need to hold them accountable. Hannity needs to learn that lesson and stop cuddling up with Graham.
101,000 viewers .....doesn’t seem like that’s very many. All the other dem’s are watching MTV and South Park.
Another difference...
