Tucker Carlson Is Most-Watched Host In Cable News For Last Week

[USA Conservative]

With an average total audience of four million viewers, Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson finished the week of June 8 through June 14 as the most-watched host in all of cable news, despite the decision by some advertisers to abandon his program over comments Carlson made about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Tucker Carlson Tonight finished ahead of FNC’s usual first-place finisher, Hannity, which ended the week in second place with 3.9 million viewers, followed by The Ingraham Angle (3.5 million total viewers) according to ratings data compiled by Nielsen.

Last week, Carlson drew criticism for remarks he made about Black Lives Matter, saying “this may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through, but it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you. And at this rate, they will.”

The only one that tries to expose the Deep State!

"The only one that tries to expose the Deep State!"

_____________

Not really.

Tucker has been great recently, but Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiroma, Elizabeth MacDonald, Mark Levin, and a few others over on OAN do a great job too.

Generalizations like yours are not too helpful. There are others trying to expose the "Deep State" but certainly NOT NEARLY ENOUGH.

****

The MEDIA is taking this country down.

Yes.
Plus Laura, Hannity, Greg Gutfeld, Judge Jeanine, Jessie Waters and so many others. Every one of them great warriors against the deep state, the media and the evil Dems.

Earned.

Really? You jumped on him for that comment? I don’t think it was going to change the world. :-)

Light enough. Most people still don’t even know what oan is

Good for Tucked.
Hannity never asks Linda Graham tough questions when Linda is on
his radio or TV show. Hannity NEVER asks Linda about the numerous
promises he has made but never delivered. EVER.

Let us acknowledge Sean Hannity's irreplaceable contribution to unmasking the Russia hoax, to exposing the FBI in the DOJ, to exposing Moeller and his gang, for defending the president in impeachment. His ensemble team was very effective and Sean himself was tireless in his crusade.

But why, oh why, cannot Sean Hannity shut up enough to let his interlocutor speak? When will he learn that a question should not be much longer than a simple declarative sentence instead of consuming more time than allocated to the guests for an answer? Why cannot he have some intelligent young intern write out the questions for him instead of treating his listeners to a wandering dialogue over irrelevant issues before he manages to pop the question like a nervous suitor?

When will he learn to stop informing us of his personal upbringing or his personal predilections? When will he cease to inform us of his martial arts expertise? In other words, when will he stop expecting us to view the world through the prism of his eyes only and grant us our own experiences?

When will he learn that if he intends to persuade he should persuade on one issue at a time and not throw multiple allegations against the wall. Let the circumstances of the issue persuade on their own.

It is no surprise the Tucker Carlson is leading in the ratings race and I suspect he is in the process of transforming television news.

Excellent! Every time I see that old Confederate dude, I know there’s something there that’s worth reading!

[JonPreston]

If you can’t watch Tucker, DVR him. That also helps his ratings. He’s showing cowardly America that one can survive and thrive by not taking a knee.

I believe the answer is: Hannity's ego.

Yes, he has done some good things for the Conservative cause. But like Glenn Beck, he wore out his welcome a long time ago.

These days, Hannity's personal life is a mess.

He left his wife, and is now trying to get into the pants of the twice divorced Ainsley Earhart.

You have to wonder how long their "harmless flirting" went on.

With all due respect to Tucker his and Foxes viewers are solid but the liberal side still beats them with CNN, MSNBS and CNBC combined in viewer ship.

In other words it's not one against one.

[Fishtalk]

I agree with all you say about Hannity.

Did you know he does martial arts?

Did you know his mother was a prison guard?

I got about a million more and yeah, he needs to stop making the world revolve around him.

Tucker Carlson is doing a terrific job!!! But.....the Trump Brigade of pundits, has gone to political war to save the USA Nation Republic. IMHO.....the Trump supporters realize that if Democrat, Joe Biden and the Democrat Party/Media Fake News control the government, the USA is dead as a free, with liberty, opportunity, equality, nation and, then the only path left for freedom’s survival is “ARMED” civil war.

For obvious reasons, I would not want to be a Democrat or Democrat Media person if armed conflict breaks openly out, which can happen sad to say!!!

However...I do believe the POTUS, Donald J. Trump will be re-elected in a massive, overwhelming landslide victory. Stay tuned!!!

Um, Fox Business channel crushes CNBC even though Fox Business was started long after CNBC.

[SmokingJoe]

Posting trash from the tabloid People magazine huh?
You should be ashamed of yourself.

[Fresh Wind]

You’ve been around long enough to remember Hannity’s feud with Free Republic over posters who weren’t sufficiently respectful.

He doesn’t mention FR any more, but other than that, he hasn’t changed at all in 20+ years.

[eartick]

Do not watch on Faux live but watch all recorded sessions. This guy is usually right with my thinking. Never did like Shammity and do not watch in interrupt interviews or shouting matches

But why, oh why, cannot Sean Hannity shut up enough to let his interlocutor speak?

If you want to torture yourself try to listen to Sean on the radio, it can't be done for more than a few minutes.

BTW, did you know that Sean's relatives were among the 99.9999999999% of the good cops?

Did you know that Sean is a martial arts expert within 7 different disciplines?

Did you know that Sean is _____ Ainsley Earhardt? It is his business, but he tells us everything else that he does, trains with an expert, works out 5 times a week, goes to Walmart etc.....

I don't remember those details. Can you give me the Reader's Digest version?

Thanks.

Did you know he used to work in construction?
