Former Fox News host Eric Bolling of Sinclair TV says that Fox is worried by the change in its audience after the 2020 presidential election.
At Turning Point USA’s annual Student Action Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida, Bolling explained why networks such as Newsmax and One America News Network are becoming more popular after the November 3rd election.
“Here’s what happened guys, let’s be honest with you… on November 3rd — Fox declared Biden the winner in Arizona. MAGA-world went ballistic, they said ‘I’m not watching Fox News,’ they switched over and they looked and they found Newsmax,” Bolling said.
Attendees of the event gave him massive applause when he said that “Fox lost about 40% of their audience. 40%. That’s a big number.”
Fox has denied such claims, saying that while some programs have lost a third of their viewers since election night, they still dominate the cable news ratings.
Bolling then talking about those who remain at Fox News, but are concerned by the growing popularity of competitors such as Newsmax and OAN.
“I have friends still there that say they are very, very nervous about it, they’re sucking wind on it and they don’t know how to turn it around.”
Since election night, Nielsen TV ratings showed that many of Fox News’ programs had a dramatic decrease in views. From November 2nd to November 11th, viewership dropped by 40% for Neil Cavuto, 40% for Bret Baier — who hosted one of the presidential debates between Trump and Biden — 40% for Martha MacCallum, 36% for Laura Ingraham, 33% for Sean Hannity, and 29% for Tucker Carlson.
Don’t need fox, put them with cnn and msnbc. Newsmax and OAN for me.
I will never watch Fox news again. They, like the RINOS in Congress, turned their backs on Trump. I really don’t believe anyone really wants change in Washington anyway
True. I’m so disgusted with fox. I have gone to newsmax.
Fox got exactly what they deserve plain and simple
LIke to watch Lou Dobbs still ONE you standing out of all the rests, only wait for him to leave Fox News VERY SOON , he must have grown tired of his FOX Management trying to be as bad a CNN or MSNBC
Will the FOX decision make ion calling the Arizona election premature be fired, I do hope so it he is a disgrace! and will pay for the drop in revenue!
Start over a a truth based programing and you might be better off than pushing the lies.
Fox will have to be as it was or go down in flames.
OAN. Reports news. Not opinions. Don’t start your news feed with, I think, We should, They should… It’s an option. Not news. Report facts, I know it’s boring but you’re really not all that and a slice of pie. I really can make up my own mind based on facts.
Honest, patriotic, hard working Americans are not stupid! We MUST honor the sacrifices of our parents, grandparents and great grandparents and keep this country free!
Truth MUST prevail along with the Judeo-Christian ethics for which this country was founded!
This is the only country in the history of the world founded on Christianity and if we lose that foundation we lose America!
We MUST stay connected to the TRUTH and we Americans WILL find a way. If you betray US will find another way and we know God is with us!
Beware! We will turn from traitors but God will count your transgressions!
I used to watch Fox News and had confidence in their reporting. Then the bullshit started to hit. False news, hosts like Chris Wallace who let us all down….SCREW HIM, his reporting, his bullshit and the fake media bullshit, spewed by some of the hosts…..So, for me, it’s goodbye Fox News, which I now refer to as FUX NEWS………This election, whether you believe or not, was corrupt, flawed, connived, impeded, finagled, interfered with, and false narratives to hurt a sitting president who has accomplished more than all the PHONY demoCRAPS have ,over the many years they have held office. The demoCRAPS have shown everyone that they are NOT the demoCRAPS from the era of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman or John Kennedy. Today, they are a bunch of FUCKEN SCUMBAGS and should all be removed to the prison they belong in. Disgusting, disgraceful, deplorable actions by them all, and the media including FOX, sat by and went along with the bullshit. Sorry, will never watch FOX again, or trust their reporting…..
It seems that FOXNews has turned on true reporting & complete honesty with some of its programming. I was a faithful watcher until I found out about Murdoch’s business dealings with the scum of the earth, George Soros. Why this criminal is still allowed to operate in the U.S, is a mystery to me. Can you say money? Can you say greed? How about sedition or outright treason? As far as I’m concerned, there are only 3 people still worth watching at Fox. Otherwise, I’m done!
We can no longer trust FOX to be truthful. They have caved to their owners’ warped political views. Lack of loyalty to hard truth from them, lack of loyalty to slimy FOX from us.
I don’t watch Fox News for the reasons you mentioned. Bret Baier should have been fired for how he handled the Presidential debate. He should go work for CCN Communist Channel News.
Chris Wallace is totally to blame for Fox News drop after that horrible debate
i’ve been very much fox for yrs i started looking for alternative about last 2 yrs ago fox definitely been going left for sometime i only watch little of tucker & ingram watch news max
We as a family switched since Fox LOST THEIR DIRECTION
We can’t afford to lose the only few reporters and programs left that actually report the news the way it was intended to be reported, especially Eric Bollinger and Sean Hannity , my two personal favorites !!! If there is a way to change this trend we MUST DO SO !!!! If we get left with fake media stations( we all know who they all are ) then most of Americans who depend on those media outlets , they WILL be brainwashed to the way of the left. If that happens America as we know it will be lost!!!
How to win them back. Be disarmingly honest. Work with your audience. Show them love, respect and transparency too.
That was not the only reason, just one. Fox News has veered away from it’s base, and it shocks all of us who counted on Fox to think and say the same things we do. The new boss is showing, Fox, and it’s ain’t what it used to be!
After many years watching Fox News Its over…..Screw Fox News and its liberal assholes.
The new game ii NEWSMAX
I will NEVER watch Fox new again!! They too are traitors.
They are on the side of the left, and we are all leaving them.
I moved from always having FNC to deleting them totally from my schedule.
My Liberal friends have said forever that Fox is the FAKE news. Fox proved it on
election night when with “Glee” that Biden was winning everything and called
him winner before the totals were even close. NEVER AGAIN FOX !!!
I used to watch Fox news 100% of the time BUT now I’m watching Newsmax 80% of the time. I used to watch Ingraham & Hannity every night but now I watch Stinchfield instead f Hannity. He is much smother then Hannity.
FOX, simply showed their true colors! And, they clearly exposed themselves to the world at large! I’m one former “FOX” viewer that will both never forget how they all but completely turned their backs on President Trump! In, this man’s mind “FOX’ will never be able to ever lift itself up again to the vast majority of the American public! I’m done!
There are already multiple news networks preaching communist Marxist bs. Fox was one of the few Republican networks until Murdock passed. Now sorry to say Fox is just another pile of shit reporting. aI watch it about 80 % less now.
Their daytime staff, especially mike wallace were all Biden supporters as evidenced by their shows.. Only Tucker, Hannity and Laura were still for Trump. I switched to newsmax during the daytime but still watch the other 3 at nite on fox at times . And I still like Mark Levine along with Sharon beamer.
When you hire a person that tells you that they fed the answers to Benghazi Killer Hillary in the presidential debate (Donna Brazil ) and you expect them to be fair ; you start to put two and two together. Wallace is a chip off of dear old dad ( leftist elites).
And they are getting a good laugh at us !
