The week President Donald Trump was acquitted in his impeachment trial was Fox News Channel’s best in the ratings since the weeks he was elected and inaugurated.

It was the fifth most-watched week ever for Fox’s prime-time schedule, and highest since election week 2016, Nielsen said.

FBN was better. Lou Dobbs had quite the story...
“FBN was better. Lou Dobbs had quite the story...”
Yes. Wasn’t that great when Nunes broke the news of Trump pulling the judge’s nomination? Dobbs’ earlier reporting on that show may have given PDJT the info that made him decide to do that.
Dobbs is an annoying interrupter and over-talker, too, like Hannity, but he isn’t AS aggravating.
I stopped watching him also, I sent him a Twit telling him to drop the pen when he shakes hand with a quest.
