Former Fox News host Eric Bolling didn’t hold back when speaking about the network on Monday, claiming that staffers there told him they are worried in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.

Bolling, now a Sinclair TV host, spoke to a throng of young Republicans at Turning Point USA’s annual Student Action Summit on Monday.

The former Fox News host went on to explain the rise of networks like Newsmax and OAN, both of which experienced a ratings surge in the aftermath of the 2020 election, as Fox News called first Arizona and then the presidency for Joe Biden. Bolling said some Fox News hosts are worried about a loss of viewers to conservative rivals.

“Here’s what happened guys, let’s be honest with you, I can talk about this, Donald Trump on November 3rd — Fox declared Biden the winner in Arizona. MAGA-world went ballistic, they said ‘I’m not watching Fox News,’ they switched over and they looked and they found Newsmax,” Bolling said.

“Fox lost about 40% of their audience. 40 percent. That’s a big number,” Bolling continued, a statement that sparked roaring applause from the audience of young conservatives.

“I have friends still there that say they are very, very nervous about it, they’re sucking wind on it and they don’t know how to turn it around,” Bolling said.

Youtube is getting boring too. Still useful for how to fix washing machines, broken zippers, and that sort of thing, though.

I am old enough to remember that IF you killed a fox & brought the ears & front paws to the fish & game, you got paid $5. That was alot of extra $$$ in the 40’s—50’s, etc.

Laura signing the new contract explains her sickening betrayal of President Trump, and, by extension, 80 million Americans. The last time I saw her she had that smug smile on her snarky face, telling the president that whatever he undertook in the future, he’s always welcome on her show. I hope two things....a) he undertakes a second term, and b) she doesn’t have a show to come on, or he tells her to pound sand.

If you you watch Fox, you are paying Donna Brazille and Cavuto’s salary.

Advertising rates get adjusted with ratings reports. They are already feeling pain.

FoxNews, like NFL and other sports, will not feel the pinch until advertisers begin demanding new rates based on the decline in viewership.

That is when the hurt really comes for them.


Fox advertisers are no doubt already getting discounts due to the advertiser boycott. No way some of those small outfits could pay full freight to advertise on Tucker, etc.

I’m guessing that someone in the future will be able to buy the Fox network for pennies on the dollar.

If I can find any way to help, I will put FOX out of Business.

So far Ive contacted most of their advisers and told them I'm done buying their products.

Including Pillow Man !

Their advertising revenue must have gone way down.

They’ve probably had to issue refunds.

“...they’re sucking wind on it and they don’t know how to turn it around,” Bolling said.”

They will never turn it around.

I will never watch Faux Newz again...
