I thought you should know. We've seen bits here and there of MSNBC wins, sporadically, but it's becoming much more frequent. Coincidentally, most of the these wins for MSNBC began when Rupert turned the reins over to his kids several months ago and Bill Shine left Fox for the White House.

Freepers noticed the change in Fox at about that time. It's coming full circle.

I'm not surprised Fox would lose viewers. You ?

But it still puzzles the hell out of me. Who would listen to that claptrap. Their numbers are still low compared to conservative talk, but I don't get it. Trump hatred in spades ?

I think we all turned FIX off while they were going through hysteria over the Syria pull out. FOX never seems to learn. We are not stupid like the average MSNBC and CNN viewer. We have lives and when watching becomes unpleasant we turn it off!

How many viewers are FNC losing to its own sister network FBN and OAN?

Fox is trying hard to hate Trump and be as liberal as other nets. Therefore a fall in their viewership does not mean the viewers are becoming more liberal.

It is just that conservatives have no where to go except radio and internet for news, and hopefully new conservative TV, satellite and/or internet news networks or shows.

Too soon to tell. They are highly energized, though, and it’s evident on social media. It’s one of the reasons I could tell they would get the House. Occasionally, you find some person on Twitter whining they regret voting for Trump, and you look at their timeline, and it turns out they watch MSNBC and it helped turn them against Trump.

Probably not MSNBC love so much as disenchantment with Faux News and the left turn it has taken.

I watched OAN for the first time last weekend. It is amazing the difference between them and all the other “news” networks.”

I have. It disgusts me that others watch hate filled insanity on MSNBC, especially during the shut down

Just the beginning of the decline for Faux.

There is an old saying in business about never abandoning a franchise. FOX had a franchise provinding “conservative” news.

Insread they have chosen to go head to head with PMSNBC and they lose.

Fox has gone to the dogs.

Pun intended.

Fox News is about as conservative as a major news outlet can be and still be a major news outlet.

The kids are home from school this week and in control of the remote.

Fox News will be back when they clear out.

Maybe FOX should bring in more unbearable libtards like Jessica Tarlov and Marie Harf-Wit so they can boost CNN into second place.
