Wait, wasn’t Fox Information purported to be useless by now?

In April 2023, I learn the obituaries. The corporate was reeling from a large $787M defamation settlement with Dominion Voting Methods. It clumsily and inexplicably fired Tucker Carlson, the community’s high star.

Rankings plummeted as conservative rival Newsmax pounced, tripling its viewership in Carlson’s timeslot. Fox shares took successful on Wall Avenue.

CNN’s Brian Stelter, who’s made a profession out of hating Fox, led the dance social gathering on Fox’s grave. He predicted that Tucker’s “sudden ouster will have profound consequences for Fox News, for TV news and the Republican Party”.

Effectively, the results are in, they usually’re profound certainly: Fox is totally crushing it, and the GOP runs the nation.

Within the aftermath of Trump’s victory, Fox is as soon as once more totally dominating the cable information panorama. It averaged 1.57 million total-day viewers and a couple of.64 million primetime viewers final quarter, surpassing rankings for broadcast networks ABC and CBS. The highest 13 cable information exhibits? All Fox.

In the meantime, MSNBC and CNN have shed lots of of 1000’s of viewers, with MSNBC’s primetime viewers dropping 50% and CNN drawing solely 337,000 whole day viewers within the week after the election. Liberal viewers will lick their wounds and return, however Fox will nonetheless win for the foreseeable future.

So what occurred? Math.

They’ve a whole lot of proficient folks at Fox who all deserve a whole lot of credit score, beginning with Rupert Murdoch’s billion-dollar wager, and Roger Ailes’ genius in constructing the community from scratch. However beneath all of it lies a easy actuality: Fox is the lone conservative voice in a polarized tv panorama. That’s an unbeatable structural benefit.

Image a city break up between steak lovers and BBQ aficionados. Loads of steakhouses, however only one BBQ joint. The place do you assume the crowds can be? The true shock is that opponents haven’t emerged.

However that’s precisely what occurs with conservative cable information, the place Fox has a digital monopoly. Sure, Newsmax exists, however after a decade, it nonetheless produces mediocre tv and even much less spectacular journalism. It briefly spiked when Carlson departed, however couldn’t maintain that momentum, and Fox recovered within the rankings by that summer season.

Zoom out to the broader media panorama, and the ideological imbalance is even starker. Community information exhibits have gone past mere liberal bias into overt hostility towards conservative views. However these tens of hundreds of thousands of conservative eyeballs must go someplace. Fox offers it.

In 2024, Trump was an everyday on the community, and even their sit-down with Kamala Harris shattered data. That drew over 10 million viewers throughout a number of airings, the best rated non-primetime cable information interview ever.

So regardless of the 2023 drama, Fox emerges as a kingmaker as soon as extra. Trapped in a declining cable enterprise, despised by half the nation, the community however stays the preeminent platform for conservative politicians and concepts on tv.

The partisans will maintain raging, however the numbers inform the true story. Betting in opposition to Fox Information continues to be a dropping proposition.
