You are wrong. There was never a Fox ratings collapse in 2016 after the election on Fox except for Hannity.
Carlson’s ratings are in freefall now no matter how you look at the numbers.
Carlson has lost 4 years worth of ratings as of Monday!
His ratings are 30% lower NOW at 8PM than O’Reilly’s 4 years ago!
O’Reilly 8pm Mon 12/19/16: 4,156,000 viewers
Carlson 8pm Mon 12/21/20: 2,932,000 viewers (-30%)
And his ratings are lower now than back in 2016 when he was on at 7pm, a worse time slot.
Carlson 7pm Mon 12/19/16: 3,448,000 viewers
Carlson 8pm Mon 12/21/20: 2,932,000 viewers (-15%)
Carlson has lost 4 years worth of ratings gains.
Gone.
History.

Look, I m not saying that there isn't a post election drop off at fnc, nor that they don't deserve it, but you are making it appear that their world is over, and it isn't.
If you want to see a real fall into the hole, you should focus on laura.
The angle has turned into spiral, and she will not recover.
The murdoch's did this on purpose, and don't care that it is costing them large sums of money, why should I?
