Fox News is seeing a massive drop in ratings for the second month in a row after their massive betrayal of the American people, and it is doubtful they will be able to compete on the left as easily as they believed they would have been able to. On Election Eve Fox News execs made the decision to drop the burden of reporting news to supporters of President Donald J. Trump by chasing them off with anti-Trump propaganda. Specifically, the news card readers on FOX did this by “calling” states for their pal Democrat Joe Biden, that should have never gone to him.
Fox News had slowly been working up to the final betrayal, by inserting Democrat propaganda, but Nov. 3rd was the final straw for at least half of Fox’s audience.
Trump called it weeks after the election:
“Fox News ratings are getting really bad. ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ viewership has dropped to 12th place. ‘Hannity’ has fallen to 19th place. ‘The Ingraham Angle’ viewership has fallen to 24th place,” one ratings water posted on Twitter.
Consider this:
December’s Ratings Collapse for Fox News Weekend continues to be a nightmare. Going from record ratings before their duplicitous Arizona call to massive rating collapse by Sat-Sun 12/19-12/20.
Here are the current Fox News weekend rating losses according to Nielsen as of 12/19-12/20.
Negative means a drop in ratings.
Neville/Shawn -60%, Scott -59%,Kurtz -57%, Fox and Friends (Sun) -56%, Jeanine -55%,Cavuto -52%, Wallace -52%, Gutfeld -50%, Fox and Friends (Sat) -47%, Bartiromo -44%, Watters -44%, Hilton -31% Levin -21%

A recent article from the Daily Wire gives some great background chatter from a former Fox News host.
Eric Bolling Says Employees At Fox News Are ‘Nervous’ About Drop-In Ratings:
According to Sinclair TV’s Eric Bolling, a former host at Fox News, staffers at his previous network is worried by the change in audience numbers in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election.
Speaking at Turning Point USA’s annual Student Action Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida, Bolling explained why networks such as Newsmax and One America News Network had surged in popularity after the election on November 3rd.
“Here’s what happened guys, let’s be honest with you… on November 3rd — Fox declared Biden, the winner in Arizona. MAGA-world went ballistic; they said ‘I’m not watching Fox News,’ they switched over, and they looked, and they found Newsmax,” Bolling said.
Bolling then sparked rapturous applause among the TPUSA event attendees when he said that “Fox lost about 40% of their audience. 40%. That’s a big number.” In recent weeks, Fox has disputed such claims, pointing out that while some programs have dropped a third of their viewers since election night, they still atop the cable news ratings.
Bolling then continued to discuss those who remain at Fox News who are concerned by the growing popularity of competitors such as Newsmax and OAN.
“I have friends still there that say they are very, very nervous about it, they’re sucking wind on it, and they don’t know how to turn it around.”
Fox News’ decision on election night to call Arizona for Biden “far before any other outlet” did indeed stir controversy, with the network “drawing the ire of many Trump supporters for other on-air decisions.”

I hate it for the few remaining who are true Trump supporters but for the rest. I’m happy to see them squirm. They should have been hammering the truth about fraud and demanding that DOJ bring charges against the members of the “coup”. Holding Lindsey Graham’s feet to the fire. How long does it take to indict someone in government? Any one of the proletariat would have hung by now. How does this happen in our USA? We will never be the same unless the truth comes out and there is still time.
It is truly sad that we are blaming a news station to do the jobs of the people we have in place already. The policing of our government has all but disappeared. We are desperate if we think the news will save us.
So glad to see FAUX FOX NEWS dropping like a brick in water…and it’s only begun. Conservatives will not rest until Fox News is completely decimated.
THEY BETRAYED US. WE KEPT TELLING THEM BUT THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE SMARTER. GUESS WE’LL SEE ABOUT THAT!
People are wanting truth! It’s not people just wanting nothing negative about Trump. It started before election day, that was just the last straw for many. The best thing Fox news could do is infiltrate and investigate the mainstream media and find out why everyone is corrupt and lying to the American people. It’s more than just the fact that they hate Trump. It’s way deeper than that. We know the democrats are corrupt, the republicans are corrupt, the FBI has serious corruption issues and the mainstream media and social media networks are extremely biased and misleading the American people. The first news company to break this wide open is the winner….lol….but I’m sure they are all corrupt and will do nothing new.
I noticed Fox News real turn, when they hired Donna Brazile and then others here is the women that gave Candidate Hillary Clinton the question she was going to be asked in the Debate. Previous to that hiring Juan Williams really didn’t bother me.
Fox treated O’Reilly and Bowling very unfairly. Now we know that Young Lachlan Murdock married an Clinton Climate Initiative operative, Mrs. Kathryn she is the limousine liberal that takes the company Jet everywhere–carbon footprint after footprint –Kathryn Murdock when the illegal election was called for Biden she tweeted out “We did it !!!!” It was no surprise–Hiring Paul Ryan and his devotion to Mitt Romney was concerning and it turned out to be a real concern conservatives
My TV is mostly off as to News –I now have the Newsmax apt and also a long time subscriber to the WSJ, they only have a few journalists left. I soon will be saving money with that subscription. I did take on Epoch Times, early last year.
74 million voters are not giving up and never forgetting — we need to help Trump now, whatever it takes
Great points, Jack! Thanks for reading!
I enjoyed “the lineup” on Fox during the week night evenings – Tucker, Hannity and Laura. It was hard breaking away from them but I had to after 11/3. I was so disgusted watching that weasel Chris Wallace and Militant Donna Brazille I was ready to beat them both.
This article gives me so much pleasure to hear Fox is sinking! Great news I need to hear!
Thanks for reading! I am glad it brought happiness. 🙂
This article makes it sound like they lost viewership when and because they called Arizona before the other channels. It goes way beyond that. I switched to Newsmax about a month before the election. I was already getting tired of Fox. They didn’t say squat when Donna Brazille showed her self. She wasn’t punished, fired, not anything…no comment or apology. The whole channel has gone down hill and I was complaining to a friend. He told me about Newsmax as he had switched long before. I tried it and liked it and haven’t watched Fox since. I have watched Carlson and Hannity a few times but they didn’t seem to say anything about what is going on at Fox and that pissed me off as well that they just seemed to ignore it. I haven’t watched any Fox since. At this point I don’t see how they can put the tooth paste back in the tube.
Here’s a thought. President Trump buys CNN, he goes in and starts cleaning house starting with Cuomo. He turns CNN into the number one conservative cable news channel. I’m sure Carlson, Hannity, and Ingrahm will be glad to join him.
I LOVE THAT IDEA, I WATCHED FOX FOR YEARS,BUT I DON’T HAVE MANY CHOICES. SO I STARTED WATCHING NEWSMAX AND OAN ONLINE SINCE I AM LIVING IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Thanks Billy!
Stopped watching when they brought that juan williams boot-lip out to roll his eyes at anything conservative. It was obvious back then.
I saw the path that fox was going when Murdock’s sons took over with their liberal progressive wives and stopped watching. I have not been back since and thing the idea of cnn be bought by trump is a awesome idea and believe me they would have so many sponsors begging to run their ads on the network. I pray it happens so we have a real conservative network.
Fox needs to have a real house cleanning by getting rid of Donna Brazille, Chris Wallace, Martha and Breit Bere as starters they are the worst Fox has. They are no Walter Cronkite. Bret Hume is no conservative either.
Since Disney bought it it has become the new CNN so I stopped watching it too.
