Longtime Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly says cable news networks are going to “collapse” after President Donald Trump leaves office.
In an interview with Sinclair Broadcasting’s “America This Week” on Wednesday, O’Reilly said “something’s going on” already at Fox News.
“NBC News, CNN, and the other networks are going to collapse almost entirely,” O’Reilly said after Trump leaves office and a Joe Biden administration begins.
“They don’t have any credibility,” he said, adding “everybody knew… they were trying to destroy Trump.”
“Now you’re going to tell the truth,” he scoffed. “It’s over.”
Trump himself has blamed O’Reilly’s former network, Fox News, for his re-election woes.
Earlier this week, Trump tweeted that Fox News “daytime ratings have completely collapsed.”
Trump added that the “biggest difference between the 2016 Election, and 2020, was @FoxNews.”
Fox viewers have joined with Trump and are exiting the network and tuning into Newsmax TV.
On Thursday, Nielsen reported that more than 1 million cable viewers per minute were tuning into Newsmax’s "Greg Kelly Reports" – as the network estimates an additional million viewers tuned in through streaming OTT devices.
CNN’s media analyst Brian Stelter tweeted Saturday, “At this point, I think we can confidently say that Newsmax is cutting into Fox’s base . . . “
Stelter noted that Newsmax is gaining market share for its strong pro-Trump positioning.
And O’Reilly is warning viewers that liberal media outlets that harshly challenged Trump won’t hold Biden to the same standards.
“Whatever Biden does will be the greatest thing,” O’Reilly said.
“He’s not going to hold many press conferences, he’s not going to be around.”
But O’Reilly said it won’t be Biden who wields the most power.

Newsmax can be found on Dish Network channel 216 and on-line here.
Newsmax has replaced Fox as my home page.
“...many of you don’t like Bill O’Reilly.”
He’s a spinning pinhead who doesn’t care about you.
Newsmax is channel 1115 on Comcast.
yeah, he is right, it was already headed in that direction, but this incident will speed the process along.
A lot of somebodies will discover they have left their cakes out in the rain!
Good time for a FReepathon, no? (Ahem, I no longer see the loot bar on top.)
Nah, the cable networks aren’t going anywhere. As long as there’s advertising revenue to be made they’ll be there like crab grass.
It’s about the money.
Nonstop Self promoter.
The fact that Bill is already accepting the narrative that Biden will become President voids the rest of his statements.
Truthfully, we need 2 or 3 networks.
Not just newsmax. The dems have a bazillion networks to watch. Why should we only have 1 that can turn on us at any time. (fox).
The Newsmax website has often been anti-trump, pro-neocon over the years.
Don’t know about NewsMax.tv because I don’t watch it.
But don’t put all the eggs in one basket.
I just started watching Newsmax. The programming is better than I thought it would be. I get it with Comcast cable, ch 1115
The broadcasters (including NPR and PBS) have outed themselves to be nothing but shills for the Rat socialist party. They are the modern day equivalent to Pravda, which was the mouth organ of the Soviet Union.
They have NO credibility but will continue to benefit from the spoils of crony capitalism.
One day, they will be destroyed and no one will care.
Amen, brother! BO is still full of himself and still thinks he’s a know-it-all.
Will the idiot audience of leftist cable news be enthusiastic about “here’s some bad stuff we want to tell you about the horrible Niki,Pence and Ted Cruz. Got a half hour?”
The phrase “out to continue to Trump policies of the past” will be saddled on all the GOP except Romney. Not a compliment to Mitts.
For more than four years they have been attacking conservatives. Reaching its peak in the last four years. Then they censor any competing voice against them. That right there cost them over 70 million viewers.
They will loose the rest when the left takes a look at the censoring that happened to the conservatives and thinks to themselves what else are they censoring.
You can’t take back your viewers once they know they have been lied to.
Shuddup O’reilly.
This interview by Leland Vittert on Fox was one of the worst interviews I’ve ever seen (via Citizen Free Press)

I watched BOR on his “The First” program. He appears to be just as anti-Trump, anti-conservative as ever.
