Both CNN and MSNBC scored a ratings win over Fox News for the first time in 20 years on Friday, January 8, according to Nielsen, via Mediaite.

-snip-

Friday night saw CNN average 4.36 million total viewers, and 1.31 million in the key demographic of viewers aged 25-54.

This was closely followed by MSNBC, with 4.32 million total viewers and 838,000 in that same demographic.

Fox came in third place, with 2.98 million total viewers and 513,000 in the 25-54 demographic.

Newsweek has contacted Fox News for comment.

Conservatives eating conservatives again.

Nope. They did it to themselves. Conservative folks have actual principles. When they are betrayed by their 'allies', they remember and take the appropriate action.

Do you somehow think we should just continue to support these people who stabbed us in the back right there on live tv?

The thing that is really funny about this is that liberals have been programmed for literally decades to view Fox as "Faux News". Did the morons in charge think that would suddenly change? They are never going to win over people who think msnbc is actual news, and not just liberal propaganda. Never.

When you shoot yourself in the foot, it is supposed to hurt. This whole debacle is going to be a great object lesson for folks someday. The reaction of actual conservative was immediate and massive. Hopefully the next 'fox' will take heed.

“That’s part of corporate America now - companies will accept fewer profits if it means they can stay on the good side of liberals, who will punish them viciously if they get out of line.”

What you described right there is the very essence of fascism.

Welcome to the new day in fascist America.

Great idea for decals t-shirts posters...............

I was confused about the willingness to accept financial losses for their wokeness. This post election convinced me that they aren’t losing anything. China is clearing out all of the red ink and even handsomely adding to the pot.

They just won’t realize that for a year and 10 months.

Goodbye, GOPee Earl...

Fox News ignored the Drudge collapse which happened 6 months before the so-called Election.

Drudge’s collapse was a warning and now Fox is surprised it happened to them too?

And of course the GOP is ignoring both the Drudge collapse and the Fox collapse. They’re stupid.

[bgill]

Faux News.

That’s what happens when you dump on your viewers.

Stupid submissive owners wanted to please their liberal 'elite' witch wives. These 'men' need to sell FOXNews to someone who DIDN'T INHERIT their money... someone who will run FOXNews as a business...not a kink fetish.

Sell - travel the world with your shallow wives... give money away to liberal 'causes' and get out of the real world.

RAGS TO RICHES TO RAGS IN 5 GENERATIONS (we have better money managers so losers with smart daddies can keep the cash a few generations longer)

[GOPJ]

The wives wanted FOXNews more liberal - witchy Biden supporters.

So their submissive husbands ran FOX like a kink fetish rather than a business. Rags to riches to rags in five generations...

True. I don’t care or watch. Greg Kelly, Dan Ball and Steve Bannon totally better.

Well, crowing about the success of the CNN / MSNBC Brainwashing Leftists isn’t on my agenda. The higher their Ratings, the more People believe that WE are the problem.

I still watch Tucker. Don’t agree with his assessment that POTUS Trump’s Speech contributed to the idiocy at the Capitol Building (handing the Left their own Reichstag Fire), but he is spot on calling out the lying Left and is giving Airtime to People (like the Parler CEO) to highlight the Censorship Insanity we are going through right now.

I still watch snippets of Hannity and Ingraham depending on their guest lists. Enjoy Victor David Hansen’s perspectives when he is a Guest on their Shows along with Mark Levin’s rants on Hannity.

Flame away.

[marcusmaximus]

Tucker Carlson and his fan club.

[Kickass Conservative]

If you say so.

I’m not cheering for the success of CNN and MSNBC like many here are, sorry.

[marcusmaximus]

We’re not cheering CNN msnbc.

We’re paying back Fox for helping steal the election for Pedo Joe.

And Tucker Carlson was a collaborator in the steal for his Murdoch overlords.

[Kickass Conservative]

If you say so.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face just helps CNN and PMSNBC. Fox is FAR from perfect, but I am very particular in who I choose to watch on there rather than just throwing out the good with the bad.

I watch Newsmax as well, but I can’t stand Sean Spicer. I don’t stop watching Newsmax because he is on there.

We disagree, so be it. My Opinion differs, big whoop.
Somebody has to be the Baby Ruth Bar floating in the Pool, might as well be me.

Now millions have vacated Fox, and they lost their way by spitting in the face of their audience. No one needs another CNN, even watered down. Fox was created because there was an audience out there with no real home, and it was found! Now they squandered it because Murdock’s sons wanted to be “part of the team” with all the other outlets. A very big mistake.

[Parley Baer]

I did my part.

The only reason I hear Fox news radio is because it’s the same station that carries Rush.

I signed up for Rush 24/7 in order to avoid listening to my local station’s CBS updates. Now instead of dealing with them harshing Rush’s mellow, I get to instead hear classic Rush parodies. Wish I had done this years ago!
