Fox News Revenues Nosedive Despite Trump's Constant Viewing (MSNBC is up 2 percent)

Fox News Revenues Nosedive Despite Trump’s Constant Viewing
MSNBC is up 2 percent and CNN is down just 1 percent.

Fox News is having trouble keeping its advertisers happy.

Ad revenues plunged 17 percent in September over the same month last year, according to the most recent financial data for the operation.

Statistics from the Standard Media Index, which tracks media income, showed that Fox News took the biggest hit of any cable news operation. CNN, which President Donald Trump frequently describes as “fake news,” lost just 1 percent in revenue, and MSNBC was up 2 percent.

maybe reality can begin to dawn on them: Their party hates them.

It's very hard to ever get someone's trust back after losing it.

Although I am certainly no fan, it starts to get much worse outside that bubble. You see they created other 'micro' bubbles like Brietbart and Alex Jones that makes Faux News almost sane.....

Aon. I think it's called America online or online America. Somethin like that but it's picking up a lot of fox people. I only know this because my brother always has fox on6 and he switched over

Even Putin's Fox news organ can't cover it up anymore.

Lord I hope the deplorables get WOKE!

There is actually quite a bit of disdain for Russian in the GOP however they have no issue using their resources to take on the DNC.

But Fox is always spewing the Kremlin talking points as well.

I guess Putin doesn't have to run Fox, they are voluntary traitors.

E.g., Maddow powering the MSNBC drive, Megyn Kelly finding out that FOX viewers are fine with FOX Blonde # 357 and haven’t switched, and Tucker is just not providing the virtual viagra for Billo’s fan club, so they’re drifting (or dying) off.

He is running them non stop on CNN and MSNBC and my local stations too (but this is a blue area). Will Fux Ruse run his NeedToImpeach.com since they need the $$$$?

rw radio and fox were both subsidized propaganda operations. fox managed to make a profit after the initial losses, but now maybe not so much.

but they will keep repeating that they represent the people.

rw radio has been in debt for many years and they keep supporting it so maybe fox also.

dems could destroy both rw radio and the fox operation by merely ending their policy of ignoring rw radio.
