Pundits and media analysts have suggested that President Trump’s low approval ratings and an election cycle that seems to favor Democrats may have contributed to the drop at Fox News.
No, it's TDS BS like the above that has caused the stampede.

“No, it’s TDS BS like the above that has caused the stampede.”

Hollywood reporter citing raw ratings then making a rookie error guessing at the reason, using their TDS as a basis

Hollywood Reporter pretends Fox is pro Trump and that Fox audience has soured on Trump suddenly, a month before the midterms

Fox is anti Trump. Brett Bauer, Martha Mc whazzername, Laura Ingraham are unwatchable since the 2020. You can’t look at them

Fox interviews El-Sayed, he’s on all the time. They won’t touch Trump’s rallies. That’s Fox, not the audience.

Right Side News on line carries Trump news. Maybe that’s where the audience went

FOXNews is turning into “young women in their late twenties and old men”. It’s NOT a good look and it’s morphing into ‘bimbos emoting’ and ‘men trying to impress them’. This needs to be ABOUT THE VIEWERS.

We’re in the midterms of a lifetime and morning is one puff piece after another. Then it appears to save money FOX uses the same people over and over for different shows - recycled to do many jobs - that doesn’t work. A little yes, but not at the level it’s being done.

The old FOXNews was young conservative men - - and women who could match them. The men grew old. Most are still great. Some not so much. Bret (who I’ve always liked) acts like he’s getting DNC ‘news packets’ that push his ‘lets all get along and give both sides’. Well that’s great for him but that gives the viewers 6 ALL LIBERAL ALL THE TIME networks and half of FOX. And I suspect MSNOW and CNN are NOT getting fair and balanced news packets. Yes, Bret can still be fair and unafraid but our side should NOT be carrying all the same liberal stories. Sometimes our interest overlap but often they don’t. A progressive ‘flash’ might be Trump has swollen ankles - a story that ranks low with conservatives who know that happens with 80 year olds. Hire a few focus groups - - see if FOXNews has become out of touch with their base.

The NEPO thing doesn’t work either. NEPO kids are prep school liberals - even if they try to talk the conservative talk. How can anyone who’s had it all handed to them on a silver platter expect to understand us?

Is Jesse the only man under 60? FOX still has the smartest women, (and the smartest men) but the young ones aren’t livening up to that original standard. It’s time to hire men in their twenties for intellect, passions for conservative values, and good looks that make the old men realize it’s time to get real. If HR doesn’t get it together, in twenty years FOX will be run by middle aged women who ‘emote’ more than think...(heavy on feelings and light on facts). Probably won’t be conservative either. Most of us have been fans and supporters of FOXNews forever and still care about our team - but let’s be more careful about fresh new blood hires. Hire like you did when FOX started...
