Ever since election night, FOX News has plummeted towards the bottom of TV ratings.
And it only has itself to blame!
First, they egregiously called Arizona for Biden before other major networks.
Post election, they’ve mocked viewers for questioning the validity of the results and kicked Trump supporters to the curb.
Who could forget this clip:

It’s hard to believe that the network was flying high just a couple of weeks ago when its audience was larger than CNN and MSNBC combined.
Oh, how quickly things change when you expose your true colors.
CNN also beat Fox News across the board in daytime (9 AM to 4 PM), finishing first in both the key 25-54 demo (382,000) and total viewers (1.719 mill).
Fox News finished third in total viewers (1.511 mill), just behind the 1.528 mill from MSNBC.

At the same time, Fox News continues to easily lead in total viewers in primetime, with Tucker Carlson still pulling in 3.618 million on a Friday night.
Overall, CNN finished third in total viewers in primetime on Friday, pulling in 2.310 million to Fox's 3.067 million.

Last Friday, Fake News CNN topped FOX News for EVERY SINGLE HOUR in the 25-54 demographic!
That’s just insane.
If it wasn’t for Tucker Carlson’s primetime show, FOX News would likely be at the bottom during primetime as well.
Check out just how far they’ve fallen with Republican viewers:
Fox News’s favorability has tumbled among Republicans since Election Day.
From late Dec 2019 thru Nov. 2, 67% of Republicans viewed Fox News favorably. In polling Nov. 9-16, network’s average favorability rating among GOP respondents dropped to 54%https://t.co/f2v3OSivQh pic.twitter.com/jGtVQ5ztt1— Catherine Rampell (@crampell) November 23, 2020
And it’s only going to get worse!
@FoxNews does not want the conservative audience anymore. Remember to unfollow all Fox anchors from your twitter feed. Take it off Roku and Sirius and your favorites.https://t.co/jftzcSEAhK

The Miami Herald commented on the rise of competing conservative networks that are drawing viewers disgruntled with Fox News:
Trump has pushed for viewers to move toward Newsmax and OANN(One America News Network, two right-leaning networks.
“Fox has never seen competition like this,” CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter said of the emerging networks. “There is demand for a fictional universe… Reliable news sources are mostly moving on to cover President-Elect Biden. There is an entire constellation of websites and talk shows that are in denial just like Trump.”
Newsmax, founded by Trump’s longtime friend Chris Ruddy, saw its primetime ratings increase tenfold the week after the election, according to the Associated Press.
“We’re killing it here on Newsmax with a tactic they’ve never tried,” Newsmax personality Grant Stinchfield said on air Monday, the AP reported. “It’s called the truth, the stone-cold truth, and once you get a taste of it, you will never tolerate being lied to again.”
Its website also overtook Breitbart as the most-visited right-leaning website, according to Axios.
Like Newsmax, OANN has pushed conspiracy theories relating to voter fraud, USA Today reported. There has been no evidence of widespread election fraud.
OANN has began to rise out of Fox News’ shadow as an option for right-wing viewers, a trend that has partially been fueled by Trump.
You can tell leftist media is already afraid of Newsmax and OANN by directing their insults at the rising networks.
As for Fox News, we know they’re nothing more than wolves in sheep’s clothing.
If you haven’t already, make the switch to one of the networks that still welcomes conservatives.
