Bill O'Reilly Predicts 'Collapse' Of Cable News Networks Post-Trump
Newsmax ^ | 11-15-2020 | cathy burke

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.

Drop cable altogether. You are paying ATT, Time-Warner et al.

Defund the beast.


Ditto!

“The dems have a bazillion networks to watch.”

And now there are none. Should we think that is accidental or planned?

Censoring of conservatives
ANTIFA and BLM being protected
Defunding the police
Election fraud
COVID shutdowns
Media blackout for negative info on DEMS
Protection of deep state

Don’t get me wrong as Newsmax is my go to channel. Their problem during the week is they turn out the lights at 6PM PST. They need to provide live programming until at least 9PM PST. Not sure about their weekend programming schedule as I’m usually out duck hunting.


As they grow, the programming and talent will improve.

No question that will happen. Cord cutting, conservatives waking up to Fox’s betrayal, etc.

I keep hoping one adult will be put in charge at AT&T or Disney or Comcast. All it would take would be some executive actually interested in the bottom line to move his network over to the vast unserved right of center market to immediately gain large market share. Just one.

Did Bill O describe any of his phone sex techniques?

Bill O just another PERV. Like Brett Favre, back doing commercials now and even a shout out by Trump.

Both of these degenerates should NEVER be heard from again!

Once a PERV always a PERV. A proven fact.

That is what I have done. I returned my cable box this last week. I have internet only now. ATT, Comcast-NBC, and Disney corporation will get no more revenue from me.

I know. Bill O. used to be on ABC before he started on cable news. Same for Brit Hume.

“But don’t put all the eggs in one basket.”

We like OANN equally as well as Newsmax. Their investigative journalism pieces are detailed and well done. Chanel Rion does a great job in that area.

At night, Dan Ball’s show, “Real America”, is interesting. He has a smart-ass personality, and might need to mature some, but he has good info. Stephanie Hamill and Alex Salvi are good, too.

Their daytime just-the-news coverage is a bit grueling, with most of the global news clips running in a loop. Locust attacks in Bumf**k India — not what we’re interested in.
