Fox News Ratings Plummet After Election. Is President Trump’s Criticism the Cause?
Time ^ | 11/24/2020 | David Bauder

Posted on 11/25/2020 6:25:44 AM PST by marcusmaximus

In a bizarre video retweeted Tuesday by President Donald Trump, a sinister-looking Randy Quaid is seen in a closeup with flashing lights illuminating his bearded face as he intones, “Fox News daytime ratings have completely collapsed.”

Did the actor, who posted his proclamation nearly two weeks ago, know what he was talking about?

Fox’s daytime viewership dropped 32 percent from the two weeks prior to Election Day to the two weeks after, the Nielsen company said.

The post-election, weekday average daytime viewership of 1.63 million was roughly equivalent to that of CNN (1.68 million) and MSNBC (1.71 million). CNN was up 33% and MSNBC up 9% during that time period, Nielsen said.

Fox has a news channel? It’s been so long. Oh well, I’m not interested, it’s probably like everything else Fox does, a mess.

Trump didn’t have to say a thing. We Americans know when we are told lies and are listening to communists try to thwart our will.

Trump’s criticism just echos our own. We have brains of our own and we can see faux for the fraud that it is now.

faux is dead to me as are all that are on it.

Friends, acquaintances and enemies. Once you are on the bottom of the list you can never go up.

F Faux.
Many here on this site are still watching certain Faux shows.
I can’t understand why. Do they like being abused by a Network
that hates them? Do they have crushes on certain host? Do they
enjoy being peed on over and over again? Does being peed on
float their boat? I can’t understand their need to be abused.

Shep Smith should have been a clue many years ago. After Trump got elected in 2016 i realized Fox was anti Trump and they were calling Trump voters names. At that point I pulled the plug. No point in paying for being called names. Unfortunately, tuning them out is not the answer. You have to cut cable and not pay any of these people to lie to you and call you names.

I stopped watching Fux news a long time ago. I’m not even watching TV. I just read the internet.

When I saw that Chris Wallace rated 33rd on Sunday shows it warmed my heart.

Marc was #1 and Maria was #2.

Considering that Chris's show runs 3 times on Sunday, that is pretty pitiful.

FoxNews ratings are collapsing because:

1. They have been going Left for a couple of years.

2. They guaranteed a suppression of Conservative votes in the West when they ‘called’ AZ for Biden before the polls closed on the West Coast.

3. They have become so Leftist smarmy that most us us simply cannot stomach watching them anymore.

I used to enjoy The Five. But Perino’s comment about President Trump put an end to me watching that show anymore. Tucker’s rant at Powell put an end to watching that show. Those were the only two I was watching anymore. Buh-bye, FoxNews Creeps!

IT MAY BE PLANNED.

It’s no secret that the sons are liberal twits.

They may want to destroy FOX News conservative base so they can rebuild it in their own image, i.e., liberal, just like ABCNNBCBS.

That way, they believe that the conservatives will just go away and sulk in the corner while they ruin the world...................

Trump didn’t have to say a thing, Fox was already going downhill and their ratings showed it before he ever said a word.

I turned fox off almost a year ago. They hired donna brazille, then took on paul ryan (board of directors), and murdoch’s idiot sons took the reins.

At that point, the only thing I watched was their morning crew 4am or so till around 8, sometimes Laura Ingraham, and Lou Dobbs on fox business. now and then Steve Hilton on weekends when I remembered it.

I shut off Tucker long before that, I got tired of him laughing at his guests pretty quick. I probably didn’t watch his show for 3 months when he first started, got disgusted and turned him off long time ago. Hannity was too redundant, stopped watching him long before I turned them off completely because of the liberal influences I could see.

No. It is Fox’s betrayal of its base that has caused its ratings plummet. Trump has called it out over a period of time. He was proven right.

If you don’t want to watch FOX, turn it off, but please don’t be like the left and insist everyone do the same or face outrage and ridicule.

Its not “criticism “ - that can be constructive. It was the deliberate sticking the knife into his back and twisting it.
