As host Dana Perino told
Republican Strategist Colin Reed on November 11, 2020:
“[T]here is this RAGING issue about fox losing tons of viewers and
many watching—get this—newsmax! Our viewers are so mad about
the election calls (as if our calls would have been any different. It’s just
votes!)….So this day of reckoning was going to come at some point –
where the embrace of Trump became an albatross we can’t shake right
away if ever.”
FBN President
Petterson told Gary Schreier on November 12 that Newsmax’s 7pm host had
“delivered over 1 million total viewers,” to which Schreier responded, “I see it.
Jesus.” Ex.512; see also Ex.407 (“newsmax is getting a huge spike in ratings”
related to election coverage); Ex.130, L. Murdoch 145:20-147:24 (Fox’s drop in
ratings was “absolutely” a concern).
