Since Election day, viewers have jumped ship from MSNBC to FOX News

[Canada Goose]

Rachel Maddow opened her MSNBC show on Monday night with a sobering 26-minute monologue.
Between deep sighs and the occasional shake of the head, Ms. Maddow went through the people President-elect Donald J. Trump had named to his new administration. To say the least, she was not a fan of his selections. But it was important to go through them, she said.
“It is better to be cleareyed about these things and to see them coming,” she said, “than to be in denial or to be surprised by them when they come around.”
It seems her audience does not agree, at least for the moment.
“The Rachel Maddow Show,” the liberal network’s highest-rated program, drew 1.3 million viewers on Monday, about a million shy of her October average, according to Nielsen. In a crucial ratings metric — viewers under the age of 54 — it was the least-watched edition of the show since April 2022.
That performance mirrors much of what has been happening at MSNBC in the week since Mr. Trump’s election win. MSNBC has averaged 550,000 viewers since Election Day, a 39 percent decline compared with the network’s average in October. In prime time, MSNBC’s audience has declined 53 percent, according to the Nielsen data.

The opposite has happened at Fox News, MSNBC’s conservative rival. Fox’s audience in prime time has grown 21 percent since last Wednesday, with an average of 3.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen. Its total day audience has jumped 38 percent.
As Mr. Trump has turned to some Fox News talent to help fill out his administration, the network’s coverage has been more euphoric than sober. Mr. Trump has named Tom Homan, a Fox News contributor, as his “border czar,” and on Tuesday night said he had selected Pete Hegseth, a co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend,” as his defense secretary.

CNN, which has struggled with ratings for months, has also had falling viewership since the election. The cable news network has averaged 413,000 viewers since last Wednesday, a 22 percent decline from its October averages. In prime time, its viewership declines stand at 43 percent, Nielsen said.

Stupid mfs really thought that focusing solely on the mentally ill and the (non-rights) of border crossing LEECHES would actually resonate with the average (non-fakkit) American.

Cable news channels in general seem to be I thought viewership would fall off on all three after the election. These HAVE to be mostly boomer CACS watching these cable news channels in 2024. I always imagine flabby CAC Boomers watching FOX news looking for shyt to get outraged at Democrats about

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Good. That's what they get for playing their part in sane-washing Trump for ratings.

Succeed in what way? What policies earned Trump your support that's not immigration related? No bullshyt. I'm genuinely curious. And what do you do for a living?

Nobody wants to watch Joy Reid and whatever bullshít she has on her head on any given day?

 

[get these nets]

And I'm sure that there was a comparable spike for MSNBC(and CNN) in the weeks and month after Biden beat Trump four years ago.

 

[Starman]

Succeed in what way?

Reduce inflation faster/improve the economy, end conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, streamline the government.

If Trump does these things, I think it will be seen as a success. But that's a BIG if.

Immigration was my number one issue, but okay.

I liked that he didn't start any new wars. That seems to be hard for recent presidents to do. Wars should be fought reluctantly.

I'm also pro life and I think Trump damn near did the impossible by getting Roe tossed in the bushes.

I'm also hoping for vengeance against the CIA/FBI for what they did in 2016.

And what do you do for a living?

Get paid around $120k a year

[Da King]

Why would anyone tune in to MSNBC? They have been dead wrong about everything over the last four years.

 

[King Poetic]

Fox News give u fukkery with bullshyt stories and fear tactics especially with the racist at night with ingraham, jesse waters and hannity
