Fox News reclaims top spot in cable news ratings
American Thinker ^ | 03/05/2021 | Peter Barry Chowka

Posted on 03/05/2021 7:18:23 AM PST by SeekAndFind

It was a tough couple of months for Fox News after the November 3rd election. Clips of questionable moments on the channel fueled the meme that the conservative house that Roger Ailes built was “going left.” For the first time in two decades, Fake News oracles CNN and MSNBC actually pulled ahead of FNC in the ratings. The main reason behind that blip, in my opinion, was the fact that progressives were flocking to their two main electronic echo chambers to celebrate the end of President Trump’s first term.

Now that the Biden Administration has set its course – a chaotic mix of ruling by Executive Actions to open the borders, destroy blue collar jobs, and reboot Obama’s America Last policy, led by a Sleepier-than-Ever Joe, who seems more cognitively challenged every day, things in the cable news landscape seem to be getting back to normal. In other words, Fox News is now starting to beat CNN and MSNBC again – and FNC is just getting started.

CNN and MSNBC basically have hit the wall. Their and their audience’s enemy and the main reason for their existence since 2016 – Donald J. Trump – has left the stage. Lacking the Orange Man to pummel on a daily basis, they appear rudderless. And who except leftist diehards wants to hear ad nauseam about the “accomplishments” of the Harris-Biden Team? At least half of the Democrats in the country must be as shocked as we are, at where Team Biden is taking us, with the prospects of life getting a lot worse looming larger every day now. The questionable and self-destructive policies of the new Democrat administration – and their fellow radicals who control the Congress – can only benefit Fox News in the months ahead.

Much of the audience is returning. Just like it did for the NFL, the NBA, etc. The GOP establishment is confident the base will return in 2022 to faux conservatism because it has no other choice.

In today’s mail is an appeal from “Paul Ryan”. My went straight to the trash but how many others are going to send in a check?

Yesterday I went to the website of my new GOP congressman (I was redistricted). My new one is a long serving member of the establishment and faux conservative. I called the 1-800 number on his website. A recording came on saying the phone was no longer in service. Called his Washington office and left a message. Obviously it isn’t the electoral cycle so he really doesn’t want to hear from the sheep.

So, MSNBC lite is doing better? Ok.

I’ll never know, because I don’t need commentary from Brazile, Williams, Harf, Tarlov and company.

I don’t watch any of the media news channels, it’s all propaganda. I’ve even given up on most TV show, they’re all full of leftist propaganda including the commercials.

It is funny how my life is more at peace since I stopped watching Faux News.

You can always tune them out and watch Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Igraham.

By doing that you are empowering Paul Ryan and the Murdoch evil spawn.

“Fox News reclaims top spot in cable news ratings”

Kinda like being the least ugly man in an ugly man contest ain’t it?

Sort of like being named MVP of an 0 and 16 football team. Who cares.

I haven’t watched one minute of Fox since election night - not even Tucker.

The propaganda media ratings are also way down since Biden took office. Without 24/7 TDS they can’t get ratings. The Fox “resurgence” may not be viewers returning, but the other propaganda outlets sinking to Fox’s new level. Curious to see where NewsMax and OAN rank.

I like Tucker, but he’s not immune, for a long time he had that clown Goodstein offering stupid opinions.

Hannity is a bit too “hair on fire” for my tastes. Lots of bombshells and breaking news that turn into duds and breaking wind.

Ingraham is ok, but not a reason to watch.
