Jewish Viewers Find a Refuge in Fox News
https://www.nytimes.com ^ | Nov 3, 2023 | By Jeremy W. Peters

Ross Abramson, a software engineer and recent New York University graduate, had a fairly conventional news diet until recently. He regularly checked his phone for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. And as a Jew with an interest in Israel, he would browse a handful of outlets like The Times of Israel.

Then the brutal Hamas-led attack on Israel happened on Oct. 7, and Mr. Abramson found himself turning to an outlet he said he didn’t rely on much before: Fox News.

“Did I watch it religiously before? No,” he said, adding that he found Fox’s reporting and commentary on Israel’s military campaign in Gaza “less antagonistic for sure” than that of other news organizations...

It’s somewhat of an improbable alliance. Jews overwhelmingly identify as Democrats...

...

There are no specific metrics available on the religious affiliation of Fox’s audience since Oct. 7, the day Hamas first attacked Israel. But ratings data from major metropolitan areas with large Jewish populations, including New York, Miami and Los Angeles, show a spike in viewership that outpaces its rivals.

Since September, Fox News’s audience has grown by a larger percentage than CNN and MSNBC in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Washington and Miami. And in the New York market — the nation’s largest — Fox has lately beaten its left-leaning rival, MSNBC, by a few percentage points. In September, Fox was drawing 16 percent fewer viewers than MSNBC in New York.

Fox News — with the largest audience in all of cable television in recent years — draws a sizable number of Democratic and liberal-leaning viewers. Among viewers who are 25 to 54, the demographic most important to advertisers, Fox News had more people who identify as Democrats watching in prime time than either CNN or MSNBC, through August...

And that form of self-persecution will never change — it was written

I know a lot of folks quit watching Fox but from what I’ve seen they are pro Isreal and don’t spew the Hamas BS.

Tonight my lifelong Jewish liberal Dad said he is going to become a Republican! He knows his party is now completly leftist. Them spraying paint on, and vandalizing the White House fence was the last straw.

Those bastards broke through the security gates, threw red paint on the outer White House walls, and put a Palistian Flag on White House grounds!😡

They are claiming and staking their turf.

(Also, another security fiasco from the Ass-clown secret service. I think Trump replaced the leadership twice, but it didn’t improve).

Wow - That's fuel for Trump's trial that has been going on this week. His defense team has been showing video's of RAT's using same language he used, all week long. They may add this video and ask if it's an insurrection. (Some Insurrection witness keep's saying everything Trump says is illegal, but he won't say anything against the Rat's saying same on video)

That sounds good and I hope so, but I don’t believe it. Your dad will never vote Republican. The American Jewish community has created its own political concentration camp. They will not vote Republican they would sooner die than vote Republican. They never saw this coming just like the Israelis. They were blindsided also. At least the Israelis got up off the mat and decided to fight for themselves. I don’t see the American Jew doing that they’re locked in.

Do not be so negative. Some (probably a small percentage) will start to vote republican, and in a few places this may be enough. More importantly there will be more that while they do not become Republicans will either stop donating to Democrats or vote for third parties. Remember Jews are a very high percentage of Dems small dollar donors (Republicans too BTW), losing this flow of money will be more painfully embarrassing than ruinous.

There are three states where even a relatively small shift in the Jewish vote could tip the state. AZ, PA, and MI Digging into the numbers for WI could also get interesting.

“And that form of self-persecution will never change — it was written”

I’m afraid you’re right. And sadly, of late, Whites have come down with the same disease vis-a-vis other races - an epidemic of self loathing and groveling.

Quite depressing to see.
