    ​Fox News takes a beating in post-election ratings

    -Cable network news behemoth Fox News took a rare beating in prime-time ratings in the week after election night, according to the latest Nielsen ratings.

    Fox News garnered 5.736 million viewers for its prime-time coverage between election day and Sunday, according to ratings released by Nielsen, while CNN came slightly above Fox News with 5.941 million average viewers.

    Both fell short of NBC, who averaged 6.33 million viewers partly because of the Sunday Night Football game between the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

    Election night saw Fox News crushing the competition with 14.158 million average viewers in prime time. CNN saw 9.47 million viewers, with MSNBC coming in at third place with 7.661 million viewers.

    Fox News has had to weather numerous incidents that have caused many of their previous fans to seek alternative news outlets, including the YouTube channel of BlazeTV host Steven Crowder.

    Fox News was excoriated by allies and supporters of the president after they called the state of Arizona early on election day before any other news outlets. When pressured by online outrage to change their call, Chris Wallace said that the Fox News decision desk would not waiver in its decision to call the state. Biden currently holds a lead of just over 11,000 votes in the state...

    Good.

    Seems I read a story that the head caller at FOX (who they did interview on election night) is a registered Democrat. Bret Baier really grilled a couple of those guys after they called AZ for Biden. You could tell Bret was stunned when they did that.

    Just found this:

    Fox News' "decision desk" team, which makes the network's election night calls, was the first to call Arizona for Joe Biden Tuesday night.

    Fox's call came so early, in fact, that the network's anchors seemed surprised. President Trump was reportedly furious with his favorite network, and he criticized the decision in an early morning White House appearance, specifically dismissing "the gentleman who called it."

    That gentleman was Arnon Mishkin — a Jewish registered Democrat from New York who is the leader and face of the Fox numbers team.

    Meet the Jewish Democrat at Fox News’ ‘decision desk,’ the man who called Arizona for Biden early – J.

    REPORT: FOX News Hires Crisis Management Team to Handle PR Over Ratings Crisis

    Attachment 8490

    FOX News hates their viewers.
    They want a new audience.


    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 Tuesday'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 year'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 exodus from FOX News is so immense that the station reportedly hired a PR firm to save what is left of the floundering channel.

    To bad FOX was bought and changed into what it has become. Even here on the local FOX28, I watch the weather and change the channel, I don't watch the news on tv anymore due to the bias liberal blah blah they put on..

    Fox failed to realize that it serves one group primarily: the conservative bloc. By ditching the conservatives and trying to join the liberals, it gained no friends and lost all friends.

    It didn't gain any liberal friends because liberals already have CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc. and have no need for Fox. Furthermore, liberals have already hated Fox for decades.

    But it lost all its conservative friends.

    They will never recover from this IMO. They can try all the PR they want to, the viewers that left are for good just like most of the NFL & NBA fans that quit watching.

    I am very curious what Tucker, Hannity, Jeannine & others will do. This has to be hurting their ratings too.

    I'm still shocked Cavuto cut away from Trump's press secretary. I thought I was watching CNN for a second. Boggles my mind. Then of course the woman that was rolling her eyes and making comments at somebody else talking about election fraud. She didn't know she was on camera.

    The Lord is using every bit of this to expose what has been hidden...kinda like a really big church softball league game.
