Fox News betrayed their viewers when they went full on anti-Trump on election night. Today they are paying the price in the ratings. The network will never again retain the trust of President Trump’s supporters, who will gladly obtain their news elsewhere. Hannity, Carlson, Pirro, and Levin should start planning their exit. Fox News is finished.
Report: Fox News Panics, Pressures Guests To Not Appear On New Competitor, Newsmax
By The Federalist Paper, November 28, 2020
Story continues below advertisementAs thousands of former Fox News viewers will gladly tell you on Twitter — the traditionally right-leaning network took a hard turn toward the left on election day when they made the controversial and bombshell call on the state of Arizona, awarding it to former Vice President Joe Biden when just a fraction of the votes were in.
Not long after that, several of the network’s hosts and reporters began to show what many believe was obvious bias in Biden’s favor, especially host Neil Cavuto, who took fire on social media after he pulled away from a news conference by White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany as she discussed allegations of election fraud.
Fox News viewers quickly turned to an up-and-coming conservative news network called Newsmax. They’ve been around for a while, but their original programming is gaining quite an audience as former Fox News viewers search for a new home where they can digest the conservative news by conservative commentators that they demand.
While Fox News executives would never admit it out loud, according to Business Insider, it appears as if the corporate giant is starting to worry about the rise of their new competitor, as the network is reportedly keeping an eye on which guests do appearances on Newsmax, while encouraging them not to appear on the network.
Fox News is threatening their regular guests to NOT go on @newsmax now….WOW.
They don't like seeing their A list guests spending time on another network.
What total scumbags.
— Brigitte Gabriel (@ACTBrigitte) November 27, 2020
Reportedly, Fox News inside sources told CNN that network management is keeping close tabs on guests who appear on Newsmax, although Fox News has since denied such reports — as expected.
Newsmax has been repeatedly promoted by President Donald Trump, in a string of recent tweets. As a result of Trump’s promotion and the Fox News viewer refugees flocking to the conservative network, Newsmax evening host, Greg Kelly, has seen staggering ratings growth, going from 80,000 viewers a day to over 800,000.
And that number is expected to grow as more conservatives are made aware of the network through Trump and other high-profile conservatives who are actively promoting it. Not to mention the fact that Newsmax is available for free through virtually every streaming service.
It's really amusing that @FoxNews thinks it can threaten their guests to not appear on @newsmax.
Real conservatives won't listen to a liberal-owned outlet with Paul Ryan and Donna Brazile running the show and NeverTrumpers whining in every time slot.
Fox is finished.

While Fox News still dominates the ratings game, the mass exodus of former viewers is definitely making a mark.
Only time will tell, but I have a feeling that, for the first time in over two decades, Fox News will soon have to figure out how to win back viewers and convince them that they’re worthy of their eyeballs. In the meantime, Fox News’ loss is Newsmax’s gain.

Back in the day when I was a Demoncrat just hating on GWBush, a website was devoted to explaining Fox News to people, “We watch Fox so you won’t have to.” Back then the station was owned by an Arab Sheik and an Australian Murdoch.
Actually, if anyone paid attention, the slave nation we have started after 9/11, with the sexual molestation by TSA on passengers waiting to board airplanes. When I saw a picture of a TSA woman agent wearing a hijab feeling the crotch area of a Catholic nun in her habit, I knew this nation was under a big Chinese Communist bus and we’ll never be rescued.

I agree. However, there WILL come a time before the antichrist when Americans WILL HAVE TO FORM A COALITION OF SORTS to stand against all this TYRANNY, even from the tyrannical Governors, Senators, etc., such as Mike DeWine, a Republican who has closed down Ohio. THAT MAN SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM GOVERNORSHIP. He will never get my vote again. I will vote INDEPENDENT or not at all.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE ALL WENT OUT TO THE STREETS TOGETHER AS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH AND WENT ON ABOUT OUR BUSINESS AS USUAL, WITHOUT MASKS, WITHOUT ANY FEAR WHATSOEVER?
CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS: We need to form a UNION OF OUR OWN!!!!
NOT A REPUBLICAN PARTY. A CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE PARTY.
There doesn’t seem to be much of a difference between Dems and Repubs these days…………very few are actually CONSTITUTIONALLY CONSERVATIVE.
OHIO DOES LOVE JIM JORDAN, THOUGH!!!! WE DO!

Send that clitless wonder (hijab wearing TSA b-tch) to China. They have a very nice re-education camp with plenty of room for her.

Fox honored Islam (highlighting persecution of Muslims in China) at every opportunity while ignoring Christian persecution in China and elsewhere. Another instance where “follow the money” paid huge dividends.

Judge Jeanine, Greg Gutfeld, Tuckler Carlson, and 2 more need to LEAVE and go over to OANN. I am not that fond of Newsmax because they are mostly pre-recorded, at least from what I have seen unless I am wrong. And, I do NOT like Bill O’Reilly, who to me, is another John McCain.
We pay $4.99/month for Oann on our Roku and it is LIVE and awesome!

I agree with you. I’m skeptical about newsmax since the ceo is a Hillary and Clinton foundation supporter. Duh. It will turn. And any time you have stories like this, plus it’s offered free everywhere, plus cnn is publicizing it, you know it smells a little. OAN is truly conservative and the only place I can get it is KlowdTV app on my roku. So, I am with you on this.

I’m not “skeptical” because all these networks are human, thus fallen. Most if not all will eventually yield to blandishment and $ and that most addictive of all narcotics, ACCEPTANCE.
That’s OK. Another will come along and so it goes. Only God is perfect and just look at His ratings-

If the “A list guests” are looking long-term and hope to maintain their influence than they should be telling Fox that if that is their final answer, than FOAD! Nexmax, OANN, Bongino Report, Parler, whatfingernews and justthenews.com is where the real action is. Fox got woke and is going broke!

NO ON PARLER. They recently (last week) removed a user’s comments (WHICH WERE **NOT** OBSCENE in any way) when they had claimed that they were PRO 1ST AMENDMENT and would not do that. THEY DID IT. I would stick with GAB, WHICH HAS DONALD J. TRUMP ON IT, AS WELL.
NO TO PARLER.

Yes however it’s not going to take Newsmax that long. They will inject comments, items into the news that undermine confidence in Trump and other conservatives. They already do that. Just the fact that the major platforms make it so widely available makes me mistrust it. I saw online yesterday something from newsmax showing Biden with over 300 electoral votes and Trump far behind, there was an ugly Trump meme…it disappeared before I could get a screenshot.

I think that we are getting the right attention from the right folks now. To paraphrase someone else’s comment, what the ‘Woke Left really did was wake up the right to the fact that a theft of our rights is currently in progress.

Yes, more people are waking up thank goodness. Just be really careful about what you believe. Fox cultivated a conservative audience for years, then the sons of Murdoch, who are also Hillary people, took over a couple of years ago, and little cracks started appearing. Finally, on election night, they call it for Joe Hidin” , thinking that we’re all stupid and will believe it because it’s Fox News. That was their plan. Newsmax is the same set up, I guarantee you. They STILL think conservatives are stupid. So, what I say is, don’t make them right, don’t be gullible, don’t trust Newsmax! I hear you, just sayin’.

FOX News was riding high with good ratings thanks to Donald Trump and his supporters.. Then the fraudulent election took place and FOX immediately disowned their audience.
And their audience walked.

Funny that Fox took for granted their perceived position of unbiased reporting and as a fighter for conservatives, stabbed their viewers in the back, and then expected to carry on as usual. Hope they wither and fade to oblivion.

Interesting as the Drudge report turned into a leftwing rag after being a conservative news outlet for years. My question is who’s paying off these networks to turn agains their fans. Fox is toast in my book. I can’t even look at their conservative hosts as I can tell their also being pressured to lie to the public about the election.

I am watching Rob Schmitt, former early morning host on Fox, now at Newsmax w/his own show, “Wake Up America” and it is current and awesome to watch. Not a lot of fluff, just good news reporting. I cut Fox after Tucker started lamblasting Sydney Powell, who is working hard to save America. Not much else to say about Fox but “adios”.

Actually, there are numerous news sources on internet, talk radio, other cable networks, even Twitter, Parker and Facebook, although there is online censoring, but these talking head wonders need to understand they will need to move to the back of the room when people access all these other news sources on a live news basis.

I live in VA. I could not for the life of me figure out why Fox News called VA with 18% of precincts reporting. This was at 5 in the afternoon. Polls did not close till 7. Nick Fretas was running against the Spangler lady incumbent with a D behind her name. He was leading by some 30,000 votes. All of a sudden, out of the blue a memory stick was found. Marked “provisional ballets”. It had 120,000 votes on it. Guess what….all 120,000 votes for the Spanky woman. Oh by the way she worked for the CIA years ago. Just say’in.
