Fox News Loses Ratings Battle to Competitor Newsmax for the First Time Ever

44

Keep it up, Team Trump. Fox News has betrayed President Trump and his supporters, and they must pay a big price for doing so. And President Trump is right. Most of the anchors on Fox News are not watchable. It is Hannity, Tucker, Levin, and a few others who are keeping this sinking ship afloat.

Fox News Loses Key Ratings Battle to Competitor Newsmax for the First Time Ever

By Patriot Project, December 9, 2020

Fox News Channel was outpaced by competitor Newsmax TV for the first time ever on Monday.

In the coveted 25- to 54-year-old demographic, “Greg Kelly Reports” on Newsmax outrated “The Story with Martha MacCallum” on Fox by a narrow margin, CNN reported.

Kelly averaged 229,000 viewers among the demographic and MacCallum averaged 203,000 viewers in the narrow but still significant milestone in the cable news industry.

“We’re here to stay,” Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said Tuesday. “The ratings are showing that.”

The ratings win comes after President Donald Trump voiced his displeasure with Fox in a tweet over the weekend.

“@FoxNews daytime is not watchable. In a class with CNN & MSDNC,” he tweeted.

“Check out @OANN, @newsmax and others that are picking up the slack. Even a boring football game, kneeling and all, is better!”

Fox News prime-time stars carried the network to its highest-rated November last month, with both Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity breaking ratings records, the Washington Examiner reported.

Laura Ingraham also held on to her title as the highest-rated female host in cable news.

“Additionally, FNC’s entire primetime lineup remains up double-digits year over year, with ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ seeing increases of 49 percent with total viewers and 85 percent with A25-54, ‘Hannity’ up 39 percent in total viewers and 89 percent with A25-54, and ‘The Ingraham Angle’ experiencing a 34 percent increase with total viewers and 80 percent with A25-54,” Fox said in a news release.

Newsmax’s viewership has jumped from 58,000 viewers on weekdays to 568,000 average viewers following the 2020 election.

“They don’t know what to do with all of us,” Newsmax television personality Grant Stinchfield said.

We’re killing it here on Newsmax with a tactic they’ve never tried. It’s called the truth, the stone-cold truth, and once you get a taste of it, you will never tolerate being lied to again.”

Fox Corporation’s chief financial officer Steve Tomsic said that Fox has “stood the test of time.”

FOXNEWS sucks. I prefer OANN and my 2nd favorite is NewsMax. OANN GETS IT RIGHT EVERY SINGLE TIME!

O’REILLY on Newsmax IS STILL a moderate and always will be. A moderate is a compromiser even when what is being compromised is EVIL. A true Constitutional Conservative AND/OR GODLY PERSON NEVER COMPROMISES ON THE BIBLE OR THE RIGHTS GIVEN TO US BY GOD.

Same thing happened to NetFlix….I quit them -along with thousands of others – when they put Obama and Moochelle in there to “create new content”. I’d seen enough of their “content” for 8 years I I dam sure wasn’t going to pay to see more.
This was followed by putting Susan Rice on their Board…and then Valerie Jarrett. I now call them “NUT-FLIX.

FOX principals does not care about its stockholders. Only Lefty ideology. Will continue its downhill slide irrespective
of ratings collapse. FOX principals do not care if shareholder value is not maximized.

The KRAKEN report is apparently in the hands of SCOTUS. It is devastating in that China, Iran, Canada, zuckerberg and Obama had access to the vote.

No, Maria is their tool too. Look: They all know not to take it too far. The truth I mean. Their rule is, if you really care? You’re outta there. Cavuto and Wallace are simply more overt about it. But I can’t stand the sight of any of them because they’re all STAYING THERE. OK?

When Hannity shows up on Newsmax he’ll have credibility again. Until then, no.

I could see FOXNEWS buying Hannity out(since Tucker and Laura want to stay) but they’ll put in his buyout that he can’t work at Newsmax or OANN for at least a year. They’ll probably let him have a radio show, but it won’t have anything to do with FOX.

This also shows that more of the population in America is behind President Trump or this would not have happened. Just another validation that Trump won this election and there is no way Biden got as many votes and they are saying.

Add Lou and Maria on Fox Business to the highly shrunken list of watchable Fox anchors. One has to wonder: why is Fox not only betraying its loyal, long time viewers, but, committing suicide by doing so?

Because Chinese, arab and Soros money speaks loudly, and this is the end for the Father. He is leaving at the end of 2021 or sooner. The younger son(who doesn’t even work there) and the 2 wives of the sons don’t care about money. They went the network(and all FOXNEWS anything) completely SHUT DOWN. They do not want there to be any Conservative news outlets anywhere.

Fox somehow betrayed Trump by occasionally showing some independence? Since when is Fox or anybody else required to take a Fueher Oath of unconditional loyalty to Trump?

Independence? Since when does the MSM media take the President’s side? 97%(or more) of the news from the MSM about the President has been NEGATIVE since he took office. That’s not only TV. That’s newspapers and magazines, facebook, twitter also. Anyone who was 97% negative about the monkey in his 8 years in office would have been driven out of business.

Rupert Murdoch was an apolitical businessman who realized that he wasn’t going to make any money selling the same left slanted news as everyone else. So he made Fox News ‘Fair and Balanced’. His sons realize nothing except they won’t get invited to parties unless they make Fox News that they now control ‘Biased and Unbalanced’ – in the left direction, of course.

Only his older son is there. The Younger son works for Viacom and has been booted off the board of FOXCORP and the WSJ. It is the wives of the 2 sons, along with Ryan that are destroying this network. I barely watch anymore. Except for certain people(like 4) they are unwatchable.

Hey Fox CEO Tomsic: “Stood the test of time”? Try that on your Board of Directors next meeting. I’m sure that’ll assuage all their…displeasure.

When Newsmax and OAN become relevant, the NWO will purchase them. Boycott cable and turn off the idiot box in your living room for a few minutes each day. You’ll be surprised how much you get done when you aren’t wasting your time being brainwashed by deviant vermin.
