Fox News Has Significant Viewership, But …
From MoveOn:
Here are the five most-watched cable news shows in America:
- “The Five” on Fox News
- “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Fox News
- “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Fox News
- “Hannity” on Fox News
- “Special Report with Bret Baier” on Fox News1
Notice a pattern? The far right is dominating cable news in America, pushing their agenda to tens of millions of Americans for hours and hours each and every day.
This is exactly how lies about COVID, conspiracy theories about the election, and despicable attacks on the LGBTQ+ community are spread.
Let’s add some perspective here. “The Five” has an audience of 3.5 million viewers. These are the same 3.5 million people who watch Tucker Carlson, etc. Obviously, it’s not good that anyone consumes this hateful garbage, but this is approximately 2% of the U.S. voter base.
