The movement to "NFL" Fox News is Real - and it's working.

Fakes News led election night coverage, but were down 40% from 2016. After the call for Arizona, it's like a switch went off. Viewers started flying away in massive numbers.

This is NOT anecdotal evidence. Legions are walking away from Fox News, and outlets like Newsmax, CNN OAN are demonstrably reaping the benefits. The numbers don't lie... unless you're calling Arizona for Biden.

Read the links and TURN THEM OFF.

I’m not canceling my dish, but have removed all of the MSM news channels from my remote except OAN and Newsmax. FWIW.

I wonder if never Trumper Paul Ryan who is now on their board (”Report: Paul Ryan Pushing Fox News to ‘Decisively Break’ with Trump”) is the cause of this?

Would like to see Carlson and Hannity show their patriotism and jump ship from Fox and join Newsmax. I do thinks their days at Fox are numbered.

I stream Newsmax TV over the internet for free. A number of cable providers include Newsmax in their channel packages. I do not use cable TV, just the internet. I can connect my tablet to my TV and watch it that way.

Jockeying between local weather channel and NASA channel, here in the metro PHX area, when not watching NEWSMAX. OANN unavailable. The repetitiveness of any one of the alternative news channels wears oneself down rather quickly.

Boycotting ANYTHING at all to do with the domestic terrorist / Alinsky group- Black Lives Matter. Every single major league and collegiate sport is DEAD to me. spit

GOP is now the MAGA Party, every Republican that won their race won because of Trump. It’s our Party now, @@@@@

It’s only our party if MAGA Republicans take over the local county, state, and national GOP positions of leadership. The RINOS still live in these places and make local and national $$ decisions and candidates.

WWG1WGA!

Also here in PHX. Subscribed to OANN last night via Hulu (4.99/mo). Initial viewing showed similar repetitiveness, as well as college station-quality reporterettes. Will see if they’re any better over the coming month before deciding whether to pull the plug.

I can understand folks/conservatives leaving Fox, but going to CNN? That is hard for me to believe. I only watch CNN when I’m in an airport, and the last time that happened was in 2008!

They may have an “anti-competition” clause in their contracts. However....I’m sure they are already sitting on some “FU money”.

I love this one...

“CNN Scores Largest Audience on Second Night of Election Coverage”

Conservatives dumped Fox for CNN! If we’re going to be lied to...we want to be lied to by professionals...not the namby-pamby fibbers at Fox.
