The Wrap reported, "Ratings: CNN Beats Fox News Again on Night 3 of Election Coverage.”(Snip)"Fox News had 5.6 million viewers last night, MSNBC got 4.9 million."
Hahahaha.
They cry all the way to the bank, sure, but nevertheless, they cry.Fox won Election Night bigly. Their 14 million viewer were yuge.
Then the network began showing its RINO side, and then its liberal side.
WTMA reported, "Conservatives ditched Fox News for Newsmax TV’s election coverage in droves.

Just got off the phone with Dish Network. Cancelled Fox. No sense in pay for a network I am never gonna watch again. I suggest others do the same. I’m very happy with Newsmax and OANN

I will be adding Newsmax to my Roku channels.
Ditched cable years ago, so I have not missed Fox. Not at all!
But at this point, they have lost the privilege of being a part of my home. Sorry, Tucker. But thankfully, you are available elsewhere.
Mike Wallace may have lived in a world where his arrogance didn't affect his standing in society. Those days are gone and his son Chris is an insult.

My dream: Trump starts a network and recruits Tucker, Laura, Jesse, Greg and Dagen as its stars.
No brainer. Bury Fox.

Boycott Fox News. I am done with them. The open hostility toward President Trump and dishonesty about the cheating by Democrats is beyond my capacity to forgive. I am done with them and on to Newsmax and OAN. I am hoping the Trump organization buys one of these networks and goes head to head with Fox, as Fox drops to CNN rating levels. Enough is enough.

If Trump starts a conservative TV network it will not be long before the Fox News Channel with all their remaining liberal Democrat talking heads will be toast, as they will then be just like the liberal alphabet networks, and up there with CNN and MSNBC. Talk about committing corporate suicide!

I’ll watch, as time permits, 8pm-11pm. Maybe 5-6 unless Donna Demented is or if Juan is too crazy. That’s it. Directv has OANN and Newsmax 👍👍

Newsmax is also streamed via Pluto, and perhaps other "free" services.

I watched Newsmax all night and their coverage and analysis was superb. Lots of outside voices with interesting views. Lots of running discussion of the other nets bias. Thumbs up for Newsmax.

FOX IS DEAD! Stick a fork in it, it’s done. Jumped the shark.
Since when does the news media have the right to pick the President of the United States? If that had been done in 2000, Democrat’s would have lit up every city.
None of the states in dispute have officially called the race. And can’t when recounts and lawsuits are pending. This isn’t over until the American people have their say, when every legal vote is counted.
Demo at MO is in place. Shove their will down our throats regardless of what we think. Remember Obamacare, like your doctor, keep your doctor? Lie...Like your life and liberty, you can keep it...Lie!
NOT GIVING UP!

Its time for a bowl of popcorn and PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Watched OAN and NEWSMAX on election night. When I turned on FOX and saw Donna Brazille and Chris Wallace I couldn't change channel fast enough. I have watched FOX from the very beginning because I though we had enough left leaning 'news' stations. Now, they have gone to the dark side. So, I am hoping OAN and NEWSMAX will be able to grow and continue to improve. I am so very tired of the left calling me names and trying to silence me. I remain a very proud TRUMP CHUMP..

One America News (OAN) is also very good and was the one who broke the Ukraine connection to Benedict Biden.

Did anyone see Dana Perino a couple hours ago? Bret commented to her about Trump supporters who had congratulated Biden, and that democrats dod not do the same when President Trump won. I paraphrase — “well it is always good to be gracious but it is not appropriate to compare how gracious you are to others.” What! She would not even compliment Republicans for being gracious. It was a strange answer, I think a prepared remark to a question she knew was coming. Dana is a rino at best. She looks like a china doll after too many cosmetic surgeries. I am done with The Five, Bret, and Martha. Prime time lineup is solid.

With the exception of 2 or 3 Fox shows, I'm a convert to Newsmax. As a bonus they don't have nearly as many commercials.

I am not boycotting Fox News any more than I am boycotting the NFL!!!
A "boycott" indicates a temporary stoppage to watching or supporting something. No, both Fox News and the NFL have lost me forever. It doesn't matter what they do from this point on, I am never going back to either!!!

Newsmax has been around for 20 years online and have always had a great line up of conservative reporters. Chris Ruddy, Founder and CEO of Newsmax is a good friend of President Trump. I've been tuning in to them regularly since they officially went cable. Since I'm in the MT time zone, I can watched their early shows (which is their prime time) and if I miss them, they repeat them again in my Prime Time MT time.
They have a great line up. It usually start off with Spicer & Company. Sean and Lindsay are great duo. Greg Kelly is next and is fun to watch. He lightens up the show with his quirky charm and personality. What he does differently from everyone else is he takes a leading topic and tells you a story and adds to it interesting points you'll never hear elsewhere. I remember him from the early days of FOX before he was sent to Iraq with the Marines. Hi father, Ray Kelly is the former and legendary NY Police Commissioner. After GREG comes Grant Stinchfield. He's been around a longtime, very good, but relatively unknown. He's trying hard to get good ratings so give him a go. You'll like him...he's no squish. Then after Grant at 11 pm MT time is WAR ROOM with Steve Bannon and his pals. He has a following from around the world with breaking news and information that's very reliable.They don't make things up and they are not media bot types. It's fun to watch and they have a good time.
On the weekend, there's Diamond & Silk, Michelle Malkin with their own shows.
I give Newsmax five stars as a conservative cable New Channel.

I had to search for Newsmax (our Comcast doesn't carry it), but easily found it live on u tube. I was pleasantly surprised how calm and enjoyable Newsmax is. It's not as flashy as FOX, but on the bright side, no Juan Williams, Donna Brazile, Chris Wallace, Dana or Harold Ford Jr. The people on Newsmax are ALL Conservatives. I won't go back to FOX! EVER! I was ready for change before the election returns, but when they called Arizona for Biden early in the evening, but wouldn't call Florida for Trump, that did it for me. It was the Line they crossed! I hope Newsmax grows like crazy as people like me find them and dump FOX!

Their ratings would skyrocket permanently if Hannity, Carlson, and the rest of the evening lineup jumped ship.

I still love Fox & Friends which i have watched since they began and we could get it in Newburyport, MA, and where I got to "know" Donald Trump (never watched his show). Still watch Tucker, Hannity (yeah he has some annoying quirks, but he is loyal and fearless--tried to warn the country about BO, for example), Laura. Levin on Saturday (replay at 7) and new on Sunday, sometimes Jesse, Judge Jeanine, sometimes Greg; and Steve Hilton, who has great panels, on Sunday night after Levin. I always like Harris Faulkner,, she is fair. Fox programs still have awesome guests, among whom are VDH, Candace Owens, Herschel Walker, Johnny Joey Jones; and most conservative/repub candidates who'd never get a hearing on any other channel. Further, Fox has always made time in schedules for programming honoring our Military.
So, i am not getting rid of Fox, although i change the channel before and then after programming we like.
My sister brought Right Side Broadcasting Network to my attention when i couldn't find the President's rallies. I love it! Young people, really smart, and uninterrupted, no side commentary during the rallies.
C-span is fine, but the comment line following, not worth the aggravation.
In short, Fox has not lost me completely, yet. Only there, not on the other cables or on the networks, was coverage of the Russia hoax, the Ukraine hoax, played entire covid task force presentations, exposed Biden, and so on and so forth. If they keep the great folks on Fox & Friends weekdays and weekends, and some of the other hosts who have spoken the truth consistently, and they honor the Military and our heroes, we will keep Fox, not on all day, just selectively. The owners may get the message. Because why would people who watch the other cables switch to Fox? Why bother.

Excuse the follow up. More from Dana Perino late this afternoon. Again, I paraphrase: Katie Pavlich cited increased support for GOP among blacks and hispanics. Dana said, “but can that support be retained, or was it just rented.” That was a foul insult by Perino! She owes an apology.

I sometimes catch F&F and sometimes on the weekend. I watched a few minutes this morning. The hosts and the guest (I don't remember who) were all up on the screen and it looked like a hostage tape. The word has obviously come down from on high. Maria Bartiromo's Sunday show is head and shoulders above Chris Wallace.
I cannot watch The Five anymore. Can't stand Juan Williams.
Fox had a great niche. They'll drive away their present viewers but will win no new viewers. In the same way that RINOs can never win by acting like a RAT. People will choose the genuine article every time.
Congratulations, Paul Ryan.

CNN is offered for free in airports, bus stations and most hospital lobbies and doctors' offices. CNN is the moral equivalent of wearing a mask. IOW, wearing a mandatory mask is like CNN. It's everywhere, it's everywhere.

We're done with FOX. We'll watch Tucker, but hope he goes over to Newsmax. Newsmax had much better analysis of election night coverage and their coverage was much more balanced. Newsmax it is. Unfortunately, Dish doesn't offer OANN in the package we have. Too bad. #6 had it about right. Juan and the Donna Brazille (communist) sympathizer did it for us. We're gone FOX.

I have Compost Cable and they do have Newsmax. Take your remote control, press the button that turns on the mike, say Newsmax and it will take you to it. At the moment am not in the mode to watch any news. Feel like I've been robbed, called the police, got a recording that they have been defunded, and they sent a social worker to play a power point slide on systemic racism.

Owner of Newsmax may be a "friend" of Mr. Trump but, he has played both sides of the aisle with his campaign contributions. There is big money in serving or pretending to serve the conservative point of view.
ROKU has Newsmax free subscriber service; OANN is paid, Daily Wire is free, Fox/Fox Business/Fox Nation is available only by paid/cable subscriber log-in; Blaze TV is subscription only, and something new called The First TV - new home of Bill O'Reilly. C-SPAN has always skewed left. But it is usually great for coverage of political events primarily because there is no commentary, from either side, during the event.

And its RINO side has continued ever since. Bret Baier? Martha Mac Callum? Insufferable. She can’t even get facts straight - and then repeats them, erroneously.
