CNN targets rivals OAN and Newsmax.
Fox News’ ratings have plummeted in the aftermath of Trump supporters abandoning the network, with the broadcaster registering its poorest showing since September 2000.
The Daily Beast reports that Fox News finished third to both MSNBC and CNN for three days running last week, their worst performance in over 20 years.
“On Wednesday, CNN averaged 5.941 million total viewers and 2.074 million in the key 25-54 demographic for the entire day, compared to MSNBC’s 4.543 million viewers overall and 1.106 million demo audience and Fox News’ total audience of 3.464 million and 852,000 in the demo.”

Host Chris Wallace’s debate moderator performance, during which he was seen to protect Joe Biden while shutting down Trump, also infuriated MAGA types.
With viewers defecting to Newsmax and OAN, both those networks are now being targeted by CNN in a transparent effort to have its competition silenced.

"Abandoning implicit support?" How about "jumped onto the Biden kiss-ass bandwagon?" Fox has been handed the same script as the rest of the MSM. It tries to disguise that fact by twisting a word here and there, but it's like sugar-coating a turd.
ReplyDeleteI support Trump because he supports America. I don't swing with the wind. Fox needs to learn this...
I quit FOX so long ago, I don't recognize very many there. I was quits before Magfly hit the road. Glad they are finally catching up. Pip-pip.
