In one sense, this has been a difficult period for Fox News: a star anchor fired after being accused of sexual harassment, a lawsuit depicting a misogynist workplace, a top writer exposed as a racist internet troll, advertiser boycotts and outrage after Tucker Carlson called protesters “criminal mobs” and questioned the patriotism of a senator who lost her legs in Iraq.In June and July, Fox News was the highest-rated television channel in the prime-time hours of 8 to 11 p.m. Not just on cable.
But the Fox News ratings also demonstrate the size and resilience of America’s audience for pro-Donald Trump opinion and the loyalty of Fox News viewers who shrug off the controversies that routinely swirl around the network. “The belief that hydroxychloroquine is something between a therapeutic and a miracle cure is wildly popular in conservative media, especially talk radio,” Hemmer said. “Tucker Carlson’s controversies have never really hurt his ratings, though they have cost him advertisers.”
The evening newscasts on ABC, CBS and NBC are notching their biggest audiences in years. David Muir’s “World News Tonight” on ABC has been a standout: In July, its episodes were the top 18 telecasts across all of broadcast and cable television, drawing more viewers than usual summertime ratings leaders like NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.”
MSNBC, whose liberal prime time is an ideological inverse to Fox News, has increased its audience from a year ago. But Rachel Maddow, once neck and neck with Hannity at 9 p.m., has fallen behind all three of Fox News’ prime-time stars in total viewers. Ingraham, who appears in the less desirable 10 p.m. slot, has drawn more viewers than Maddow for many months.
People love the Novelas...Soo much drama
And those people don't answer polls. But they do vote.
Very indicative of the path America is on. FOX News’ journey of hate, misinformation & mendacity is rallying ppl who REALLY believe that minorities, liberals & illegal aliens r the root cause of their misery. These ppl have no idea that FOX is advancing authoritarian propaganda.
Trump and Fox news unites the left and Socialists. If Trump and Fox news were to disappear, the Socialist movement may just fade away.
there are a lot of gullible fools out there that watch these two jackasses....
so these two are the most popular on TV in the US? No wonder the US is walking backwards, like a crab.
If you are conservative. It is either Foxnews or nothing. So of course they will have a big audience.
