Fox News tops election night ratings
The Hill ^ | 11/03/2021 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

More people watched Fox News than any other cable news network during coverage of Election Night on Tuesday.

Fox had the largest audience of any of the three major networks in each hour from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. according to early data from Nielsen Media Research, peaking with 5 million viewers during the 10 p.m. hour, including 988,000 in the coveted 25-54 age demographic.

When the Virginia governor's race was called for Republican Glenn Youngkin during the 12 p.m. hour, 2.8 million were tuned into Fox News, compared to 800,000 viewers on MSNBC and 716,000 on CNN.

Last time I watched Fox News was about three years ago, and then for only long enough for them to break for a commercial, which as I recall was a total of about seven seconds.

I watched CNN and MSNBC. That was much more entertaining.

Yup. With streaming, we no longer watch television and get our news from YouTube clips. Yeah, I know, YT is owned by some lefty crook.

I flip to all 3 channels. First one mentions Trump I change the channel. Second and third one same thing. Then I binge watch That Chapter while reading FR. Until I spot a Ladies of the View thread. TDS and VDS. Not interested.

I watched CNN. Tapper was actually pretty good. Every time John King went after Trump or some leftist talking point, Tapper slapped him down. I was hoping for more entertainment value, but I made up for it by watching Morning Shmoe.

I stayed with Newsmax pretty much all evening but did dip into both CNN & MSNBC for their graphic analyses.

Basically avoided any Faux News coverage whatsoever—and it’s really a shame that they managed to garner top ratings. They have totally abandoned conservatives and turned into a biased disreputable excuse of a news operation.

Newsmax is now the finest overall news channel for honesty and credibility IMO. It’s just too bad they hired CNN exile Santorum who became the proverbial t**d in the punch bowl last night, especially with his not-so-subtle swipes at President Trump.

I hate to hear that.........I hope others will join in the streaming community or seek alternative media like NewsMax, AmericasVoice, OAN and others instead of hanging on to a network that once was something worth watching. I hate that there are those on there that are more right-leaning and I hope that they will be picked up by others that still have common sense in reporting when they renew contracts. It’s all about giving us REAL reporting instead of lying about what they’re reporting.

I went and saw Dune and found out the results after the movie. Why would I give money to Fox News? They have Tucker Carlson, with Mark Steyn as a frequent guest, and Brian Kilmeade and I still don’t watch them. Not live not on YouTube not on instagram not even on rumble. I

Fox News. Garbage. Last night Fox showed Youngkin giving a wonderful speech and a split screen with Biden walking out of an airplane. Rude interruption of Youngkin. Fox just telling the viewers who they incorrectly thing is the real boss: China.

I quit watching FOX on election night 2020. Last night I tuned in to Newsmax for the whole night and it was very informative and interesting. And they kept poking at FOX, telling viewers not to watch FOX, because after all, remember how FOX handled the presidential election!

I watched America’s voice - haven’t watched fox since 2020 election. Had already quit watching most of the shows a year or so before that.

I was stuck on the max all night. Felt good about 8:30pm.

Fox strings this out so Hemmer can show off his county by count examination. No one cares. Use your exit polls.
