FOX News takes major hit in viewership--the Trump effect.

If they think they're upset now, wait until Trump loses.

Then it will be bacchanal.


I agree with that. FOX News--and all these Reich wing radio talk show hosts that have been promoting this Chimpanzee will have a lot to answer for.

There's going to be millions of pissed off Republicans.

This was bound to happen. It was FOX News that gave Trump unprecedented news coverage during the debates, and it appears that it has pissed off their number one fans. Republicans.

The Trump effect:

Just last week, a years-long tradition came to a screeching halt. “You want me to put it on Fox News,” I asked my wife. “No,” she replied. “I’m done with Fox News.”

My job is to monitor the mainstream media, which is something that eats up about 14 hours of a day that begins at 6 a.m. when the cable morning shows begin. Lying next to me, my good sport of a wife suffers through about an hour of “Morning Joe,” whatever they call that left-wing garbage fire on CNN, and the rest. Out of habit, before I head to my desk, without really asking I always ask, “You want me to put it on Fox?”

Fox News has a problem, and not just with my wife. According to a YouGov Brand Index survey, the perception of Fox News among Republicans has hit a three-year low, “has declined by approximately 50% since January of this year.”

Basically, perception of Fox News has returned to those bad old Dick Morris days after President Obama won re-election. Much of the fall has come in the last few months. There is no question that this precipitous drop is the result of Fox’s ongoing war with Donald Trump.

This might be a good time to tell you that my wife is not a Trump supporter. Her frustrations and disappointment in Fox News have nothing to do with her personal political preference. Like many, it is something much larger than that.

1) Bias

Whether or not you support Trump, FNC’s pro-Rubio/GOP Establishment bias is still as hard to swallow as the mainstream media’s left-wing bias. Bias is bias. It’s manipulative and dishonest, and no one likes to be manipulated or lied to.

Cluelessness

When it came to grasping the Trump phenomenon, Fox News was every bit as clueless and caught off guard as the BubbleDumb in the mainstream media. A few of the opinion-driven FNC pundits, like Sean Hannity, Eric Bolling and Andrea Tantaros, saw the writing on the wall, but they were outliers who, when you look back, only make the rest of the network look clueless, especially the straight news division.

And once the Trump phenomenon became achingly real, Fox either refused to acknowledge it, or pretended it wasn’t real.

I watch about 30 minutes of Fox News a day, the roundtable on Bret Baier’s “Special Report.” The three-person pundit panel is supposed to represent the smartest thinking in politics, and yet for months and months, every Friday during Candidate Casino, a feature where the pundits award up to a hundred chips (points) to various presidential candidates, no one would acknowledge the “Trump” writing on the wall. Some even admitted they could not acknowledge it.

Here is something I never thought I would write in my lifetime: CNN’s handling of the Republican debates has been infinitely more professional, unbiased, and fair than Fox News. It’s not even close. If you go back and look at the debates, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer have out-classed Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace, and Bret Baier by a wide margin.

When I asked my wife why she is “done” with Fox News, her answer was simply, “They’re just like all the rest.”
Trump-Effect: Fox News Channel's Brand Takes 50% Hit Among Republicans - Breitbart

"Many people are pointing to Fox News’ unrelenting pro-Trumpism for the falling numbers. Sean Hannity, Eric Bolling, Greta Van Susteren, and Bill O’Reilly have all been accused of coddling The Donald while going after his competitors. And that just doesn’t make for interesting television."

Heck he’s even gotten Megyn Kelly to befriend him, after months of very public feuding after the first Fox News debate – and Donald Trump’s supporters have been giving her death threats!!"
Fox News Takes A HUGE HIT In The Ratings - No Longer First, Here's WHY!

Trump received 400 million dollars in free media coverage in one month during the debates, most of it coming from FOX News. That's more than any other candidate in the history of this nation. Now you can kind of see what's going on with FOX News and their viewership. Fox News turned into Trump news.

I'm sure that's a fascinating article, if I hadn't fallen asleep 8% of the way in. But the fact is, ratings don't measure any kind of "assent". They never have. They measure attention, and that's it. If Fox Noise is getting good ratings it means they're snagging people into watching whatever the Fear Factor is that day. If they get bad ratings it means they're failing to do that.

That's all it means, that's all it ever meant. Audience ratings have one purpose and one purpose only: to set advertising rates, based on how many eyeballs the channel can deliver the advertiser. Regardless how it gets them.

Bingo! Best tip I got from an old program director when I first started out in music was that the songs were the fillers for the commercials. That was pure gold to making me understand the game right away.

Remarkably similar to what a ClearChannel exec said to one of his TV station managers: "Do you know what the definition of programming is? Programming is the shit we run between commercials".

Yeah I know that too well.

If you go back and look at the debates, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer have out-classed Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace, and Bret Baier by a wide margin.

When I asked my wife why she is “done” with Fox News, her answer was simply, “They’re just like all the rest.”
Trump-Effect: Fox News Channel's Brand Takes 50% Hit Among Republicans - Breitbart

"Many people are pointing to Fox News’ unrelenting pro-Trumpism for the falling numbers. Sean Hannity, Eric Bolling, Greta Van Susteren, and Bill O’Reilly have all been accused of coddling The Donald while going after his competitors. And that just doesn’t make for interesting television."

Heck he’s even gotten Megyn Kelly to befriend him, after months of very public feuding after the first Fox News debate – and Donald Trump’s supporters have been giving her death threats!!"
Fox News Takes A HUGE HIT In The Ratings - No Longer First, Here's WHY!

Trump received 400 million dollars in free media coverage in one month during the debates, most of it coming from FOX News. That's more than any other candidate in the history of this nation. Now you can kind of see what's going on with FOX News and their viewership. Fox News turned into Trump news.

Thank you, Jesus! Maybe the world is starting to correct itself.


We can only hope that when Trump goes down the toilet--so does all these Reich Wing Talk Radio show hosts. Starting with Mr. Talent on loan from Gawwwwwd-d and all the rest. I hope they take the Tea Party with them.

This was bound to happen. It was FOX News that gave Trump unprecedented news coverage during the debates, and it appears that it has pissed off their number one fans. Republicans.

The Trump effect:

Just last week, a years-long tradition came to a screeching halt. “You want me to put it on Fox News,” I asked my wife. “No,” she replied. “I’m done with Fox News.”

My job is to monitor the mainstream media, which is something that eats up about 14 hours of a day that begins at 6 a.m. when the cable morning shows begin. Lying next to me, my good sport of a wife suffers through about an hour of “Morning Joe,” whatever they call that left-wing garbage fire on CNN, and the rest. Out of habit, before I head to my desk, without really asking I always ask, “You want me to put it on Fox?”

Fox News has a problem, and not just with my wife. According to a YouGov Brand Index survey, the perception of Fox News among Republicans has hit a three-year low, “has declined by approximately 50% since January of this year.”

Basically, perception of Fox News has returned to those bad old Dick Morris days after President Obama won re-election. Much of the fall has come in the last few months. There is no question that this precipitous drop is the result of Fox’s ongoing war with Donald Trump.

This might be a good time to tell you that my wife is not a Trump supporter. Her frustrations and disappointment in Fox News have nothing to do with her personal political preference. Like many, it is something much larger than that.

1) Bias

Whether or not you support Trump, FNC’s pro-Rubio/GOP Establishment bias is still as hard to swallow as the mainstream media’s left-wing bias. Bias is bias. It’s manipulative and dishonest, and no one likes to be manipulated or lied to.

Cluelessness

When it came to grasping the Trump phenomenon, Fox News was every bit as clueless and caught off guard as the BubbleDumb in the mainstream media. A few of the opinion-driven FNC pundits, like Sean Hannity, Eric Bolling and Andrea Tantaros, saw the writing on the wall, but they were outliers who, when you look back, only make the rest of the network look clueless, especially the straight news division.

And once the Trump phenomenon became achingly real, Fox either refused to acknowledge it, or pretended it wasn’t real.

I watch about 30 minutes of Fox News a day, the roundtable on Bret Baier’s “Special Report.” The three-person pundit panel is supposed to represent the smartest thinking in politics, and yet for months and months, every Friday during Candidate Casino, a feature where the pundits award up to a hundred chips (points) to various presidential candidates, no one would acknowledge the “Trump” writing on the wall. Some even admitted they could not acknowledge it.

Here is something I never thought I would write in my lifetime: CNN’s handling of the Republican debates has been infinitely more professional, unbiased, and fair than Fox News. It’s not even close. If you go back and look at the debates, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer have out-classed Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace, and Bret Baier by a wide margin.

Rupert and
megyn-kelly-saudi.jpg

Are not happy.


Tell us, derp, what percent of Fox does he own?

50?

30?

10?


I imagine after the election night slaughter he'll have to buy FOX news out just to get his mug on Television again.--LOL No one else is going to tuning in to that Network that's for certain.

I could care less, I don't watch Fox or MSNBC

Too partisan for my taste.

I only asked derp how much of Fox Alaweed owns.

He acts like it's a big deal
deany won't answer.

At one time he owned like 7%, which got him exactly zero influence in anything Fox wanted to do and no seat in the boardroom where strategery is formulated. Subsequently the corporate structure underwent a change, splitting into two separate entities. At that time Alaweed switched all but about 1% of his investment into the new corporation that does not include Fox.

None of which makes any difference to deany and his fellow low info dopes who've been beating the "an Arab owns and influences Fox" drum for years. One of those clowns once served up the Kool-Aid in here that Alaweed was in charge of all Fox programming, and the dumbbells swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. I guess being stupid does have an upside or two.
 
It's not much to brag about. Fox has only been # 1overall for 176 straight months. For you mathematically challenged lefty nitwits that's just a tad shy of 15 friggin' years!
And how does that fact benefit you? Do you have stock in that corporation?

Yeah isn't Fox News the RINO channel these days?


No you've got it backwards. The Rino's or 70% of the Republican party just turned off FOX news, the only ones who would be watching FOX are the Trumpkins. They may just as well call it the Trump cable news network.

That is what Ailes and Comrade Trump are working on now. Trump Television
