"Heartwarming to see all of the tremendous support out there, especially the organic Rallies that are springing up all over the Country, including a big one on Saturday in D.C," Trump tweeted Friday. "I may even try to stop by and say hello." Trump went on to say the "Election was Rigged" but Twitter labeled the tweet with a warning that Trump's fraud claims are disputed. His campaign has yet to provide evidence of the systemic fraud he has alleged. The latest vote tallies from the Nov. 3 election show massive turnout and influx of mail-in voting due to the...

Years and years ago, when I first began to explain how cable TV is screwing everyone, how even if you didn’t watch channels like CNNLOL, MSNBC, MTV, etc. — you know, channels dedicated to your destruction — you were still making them rich, people had two reasons for hanging on to their overpriced cable TV package… Okay. Fine. So now what’s your excuse? Sports is insufferable, woke, an insult to decency and Americanism. Watching sports only aggravates and annoys you… ESPN, the NFL, and the rest of them all freakin’ hate you… Why are you making these Marxists rich? The...

Fox News ratings continued to plummet last night with Nielsen ratings just released. Compared to last Thursday's ratings: -Cavuto has lost 58% of his viewers -Ingraham viewers were down 42% -Hannity viewers were down 30% -Carlson viewers were down 29% There's no recovery in sight for Fox. Nielsen ratings at the links.

Murdoch avoided discussion of President Trump and President-elect Joe Biden, but praised "live news, analysis, and clear and strong opinion" at Fox News. If you follow President Donald Trump on Twitter, Thursday morning marked a renewed broadside against Fox News Channel. -snip- If you were at the Fox Studio Lot in Los Angeles, however, you could be forgiven for being unaware of the attacks. That is where Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch held court at the company's annual shareholder meeting, which was held in-person on the lot. The names Biden and Trump were not mentioned in Murdoch's 15-minute introductory statement,...

President Donald Trump, angry at what used to be his most prominent champions in conservative media, is sending his followers to Newsmax, the conservative website and cable channel based in Palm Beach County. Newsmax is relishing the attention from the president — and the surge in interest. Christopher Ruddy, the Boca Raton company’s CEO, a longtime friend of Trump’s and reportedly a member of the Trump-owned Mar-a-Lago Club, appeared on one of the channel’s programs on Thursday to describe a conversation in which the president praised his network and trashed his former favorite, Fox News. Ruddy quoted the president as...

President Trump's fans who don't think Fox News is right-wing enough have another option on cable and satellite: Newsmax TV. And something dramatic has happened in the past week: A big audience has sought out Newsmax TV for the first time. Those two facts are connected. Some Trump loyalists are raging against Fox and changing the channel to Newsmax instead. On Newsmax, voter fraud innuendo is everywhere. Conspiracy theory chatter is constant. And perhaps most importantly, Joe Biden is not the president-elect. The channel is tapping into a real vein of rage on the right. And Trump is encouraging it...

Class A shares of Fox News parent-company Fox Corp. dropped as much as 6% on Thursday as President Donald Trump retweeted support for its rival right-leaning news networks Newsmax and OANN. Some of Trump's Thursday retweets include: "#FoxNews is dead," "Fox has been completely unfair and untruthful. Moving to Newsmax," and "Newsmax and Oann are great alternatives [to Fox News]." Those retweets were then followed up by a direct message from Trump, who tweeted, ".@FoxNews daytime ratings have completely collapsed. Weekend daytime even WORSE. Very sad to watch this happen, but they forgot what made them successful, what got them...

President Trump has told friends he wants to start a digital media company to clobber Fox News and undermine the conservative-friendly network, sources tell Axios. The state of play: Some Trump advisers think Fox News made a mistake with an early call (seconded by AP) of President-elect Biden's win in Arizona. That enraged Trump, and gave him something tangible to use in his attacks on the network. "He plans to wreck Fox. No doubt about it," said a source with detailed knowledge of Trump's intentions. With loyal viewers and longtime dominance, Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch said on a Nov....

Karl Rove, the architect of former President George W. Bush's gubernatorial and presidential campaigns, acknowledged Wednesday that the 2020 presidential election will not be overturned regardless of the flurry of lawsuits from President Donald Trump challenging the results.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) defended the state’s election process on Wednesday against accusations of voter fraud and irregularities from the Trump campaign. Appearing on Fox News, Brnovich was asked by host Neil Cavuto about recent disputes over voting currently being argued in Arizona, including one in which a Trump campaign attorney claimed to have evidence that votes in Maricopa County had been “incorrectly rejected” and requested that the evidence be sealed. Election official attorneys successfully argued to leave the evidence unsealed because the public “has a right to know how flimsy Plaintiffs’ evidence actually is,” according to the...

Fox has come under the gun for how they’ve dealt with the election including calling Arizona early for Joe Biden early on Election Day when indeed the count is still ongoing and the state may yet flip to President Donald Trump. Whatever they were thinking, they were obviously wrong to call it early, even if Trump ultimately were to lose the state. That wasn’t all they did, as we reported. They had Sandra Smith caught on a hot mic absolutely mocking a guest, acting as though it wasn’t reasonable to question any of the results of the election or the...

While watching The Five today on Fox News Channel, I noticed two glaring advertisements: the first was welcoming Judge Janeen (sp?) back to her regular time slot and the second was a long advertisement promoting Tucker, Hannity, and Laura Ingraham's like they were rock stars. This was pure grovel, grovel trying to get back on the right side of their loyal viewers. They won't get me back for Special Report or most of their other shows (goodbye forever, Chris Wallace!), but they know they can't survive without these prime time money makers.

The Fox News Channel crashed in ratings on Saturday, coming in a distant third place to leader CNN and second place MSNBC. In the week before TuesdayÂ’s election Fox News averaged more than double the viewership of CNN and MSNBC. The FOX News Channel hit rock bottom when they defended and ignored the massive fraud in this yearÂ’s 2020 election. Two days ago Bret Baier deleted the tweet that exposed the exploding on-going backlash against Fox. Many of their hosts were openly hostile to their conservative audience. And several FOX News hosts absolutely HATE President Trump and his supporters. The...

I can almost remember the moment I gave up on Fox News.It was in 2015, and they had just had another “expert” panel on of ultra neverTrumpers—people like Jonah Goldberg or Guy Benson who sneered in the face of evidence. It was one thing, I thought, to have an opinion on why someone might be a “bad” candidate, but it was entirely something else to deny the reality that (as I recall) by that time he had led the entire GOP field for the entire summer. Sure, he might fade, but at that point, all the evidence suggested it would...

According to Sensor Tower, Newsmax’s rank among free apps in Apple’s App Store climbed from No. 1,061 on Election Day to No. 8 on Saturday. On Saturday, when major decision desks were calling the 2020 election for Joe Biden, Fox News joined them. For much of the day, the conservative news outlet was splashed with chyrons about Biden’s victory as its correspondents covered the historic moment in earnest. Over at Newsmax, meanwhile, readers could find stories about how the “mainstream media” called it for Biden, but that Newsmax itself had not. Lines were drawn in the sand, and for Newsmax...

Neil Cavuto is a real pro and a rock at Fox. https://t.co/z9AHV0HJCX— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) November 10, 2020 Left-wing Cancel Culture is out of control. https://t.co/B68LgQyAff— Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) November 10, 2020 Fox News needs to fire Neil Cavuto.— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) November 9, 2020

Fox News interrupted White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Monday to fact-check her untrue voter fraud allegations, the latest instance of Fox and other members of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire — once key allies of President Donald Trump — pushing back on Trump’s baseless refusal to accept defeat and priming viewers for a post-Trump future. After McEnany baselessly suggested in a press conference Monday afternoon that President-elect Joe Biden’s supporters are willfully engaging in voter fraud, anchor Neil Cavuto cut her off and said she has no evidence, saying, “I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this.” In...

Fox News has given a directive to their daytime hosts to not have anyone from the Trump campaign or the White House legal team on. They have been told to not entertain or discuss any allegations of voter fraud and to keep reassuring the public that Joe Biden is the President Elect. There has been a complete insurrection at Fox News and there are talks among the Murdoch run management of terminating the Pro-Trump hosts. Judge Jeanine’s show was suspended a few days ago because she wanted to talk about voter fraud.

Fox News viewers appear to be deserting the network in droves as they tune into Newsmax TV. Nielsen data confirms the trend in the post-election period last week. During Wednesday through Friday last week, Newsmax TV led Fox Business and CNBC in all key day parts. Newsmax is also seeing a terrific surge across its media properties, starting with its cable and satellite news channel. OTT viewership of the channel is also up on devices like Roku, YouTube, and Xumo. The company also saw over a half million downloads to the free Newsmax TV APP, and earlier Tuesday hit the...
