Oh that’s a surprise, if anything I’d say 2020 was the year the mainstream media (Fox included) lost all credibility

Then why does Trump worry about CNN and all that since FOX is more popular?

Naw, they blew away the competition because it’s not just conservatives but also by Democrats, Libertarians and others that watch the network even if they lost over 45% of Trump supporters and 20% of registered Republicans.

Yes agreed and why is Trump complaining about them just as much as CNN. Why do Trump people think that Trump is better than Bill Gates. Microsoft is a real company

They didn’t abandon Trump, Trump abandoned them, his choice, but the network in general is still behind him, now management has changed and gotten a bit more liberal, but that’s the behind the scenes people, overall he’s fine even if he wasn’t happy with how they handled Arizona during the election.
They can do whatever they want, they don’t make policy so it’s irrelevant what or how they feel.

Two worst propaganda mouthpieces. OAN is actually nuttier than North Korean news.

Don’t know about that, CNN, WP and NYT have definitely taken the lead on that.

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

Broadcast Network News still reigns supreme. Fox News getting 3.6 Million views in primetime is pathetic. CBS evening news (which is the lowest rated) gets over 5 million views, NBC gets over 7 million viewers and ABC gets over 8 million viewers. Cable news is a bubble that thankfully the vast majority of country does not watch. Network news also blows cable news out of the water in the key 18-49 demo.

Nothing in those articles disputes broadcast network ratings trashing Fox News ratings on the daily. Fox did better than CNN or MSNBC. So what? ABC, NBC and CBS nightly news all beat Fox News like a drum. The ratings are a matter of public record.
Though it should be fun to see what happens to Fox now that Newsmax is getting loaded into more cable systems.
