    This is an old form of agitprop, trying to make Fox News out to be "number 1" in viewership, ratings, popularity and all of that. It's a silly thing to do, making a thread at a political forum just to tout Fox News and its supposed popularity. Is it supposed to upset people? I see no other reason to post this sort of thing.

    Tucker is the only one who talks about demographics. The number one issue of our time... But yes, they are mainstream and won't cross some lines that need to be.

    Misappropriation of funds from a charity, would you believe that is corrupt?
    What about forcing taxpayer funds to his private businesses?
    Easing restrictions on China in exchange for a $500 million loan from a company owned by the Chinese government?
    Placing his family members in key positions — some with unwarranted security clearances?
    Paying off prostitutes so they don’t hurt his campaign?

    We could also go into the numerous scandals that have plagued his cabinet and administration officials but we will ignore those as he may have only been indirectly involved.

    Demographics are the largest issue of our time?
    Not healthcare, education, climate change (manmade or natural), plastic pollution, corruption, extreme wealth divide, the deficit and debt?...
    Demographics are an interesting issue but I wouldn’t even place it in the top 10

    "Fox News is destroying the liberal media every quarter because of great Patriots like Tucker and Hannity! But the liberal msm media is so mean and unfair to Fox's dominance in the ratings!"

    LOL, can't make this comedy gold up.

    It started as soon as he took office with the Trump Russia Collusion lies. Hell, NY Times and WaPo got Pulitzers for reporting FAKE NEWS.

    Trump may suck. He may be corrupt. He is clearly a narcissist, but he has done some strong positive things for this nation and a 95%+ negative reporting rate is called PROPAGANDA for stupid people. You are living in Orwellian times and you don't even realize it.

    And the propagandizing/politicizing of the mainstream media has been so successful that the low information voters, in particular, don't even realize how they are being manipulated. Orwellian indeed :(

    It's an entertainment show that gets 1/2 the viewership of the average Colbert nightly show ... whatever ...

    Bragging about ratings is a way for Fox and their viewers to believe that they represent a majority view, its a form of self-congratulation and self-affirmation. The truth is that most Americans do not really spend that much time watching any news channel let alone a network all day long. Those that do become immersed in silos that spin stories which give their viewers confidence and a sense of belonging to a special group. Fox has made billions off this strategy.

    Watching Colbert is as interesting as watching paint dry.

    Colbert's audience is miniscule when compared to what Alex Jones had on youtube. So you guys banned him. You have now banned multiple different independent content providers who were all bigger than Colbert. Hell you guys censored a 15 year old girl (Soph) who was kicking Colbert's ass. One video of hers had more humor in it than an entire year of Colbert (and he had a writing team and MSM support).

    What number is bigger? 700 thousand or 21 million? Instead of taking the L, the elites are censoring the most compelling voices. They simply will not allow us to watch what we want to watch. They have successfully memory holed about 25% of my favorite content providers (each of which were an order of magnitude more interesting/informative than Colbert), at least they haven't gotten to the remaining 75% yet.

    The bottom line is that the MSM does not understand how to create entertainment... at all. The most creative people in the world are no longer associated with them. They are the people that the MSM are shutting down.

    No one believes that. But what is instructive is that as a share of total viewership, the amount that Tucker et al get is increasing as a percentage of the whole. Fear not comrade, your Pravda still rules the airwaves.

    ROFL, we've got folks who can't even figure out which news sources are "mainstream", and you guys want to slap them in the face with math?

    You mean because the Right has got one outlet and the Left has got around 101? Propaganda works best via non-stop blanket coverage and control of the messaging. That's how so many citizens can buy into endless and nation-harming leftist propaganda. Fox and the tiny handful of other right of center news sources are simply tiny voices shouting to be heard over the endless roar of leftist propaganda babble.

    Fox News is almost double the next two largest networks. There are just as many right wing secondary outlets as there are left wing — trump supporters just label anything that is not 24/7 pro trump as left wing, even if it is centrist.

    When some believe the largest media network isn’t “mainstream” they should probably shy away from trying to tackle math. Basic comprehension needs to come first.

    I am not surprised y’all are trying to act like fox is the very definition of MSM. That mental gymnastics would power the world if we could use the excess energy generated.

    Speaking of horses, this police horse smacks a bitch.

    She Started it, Police horse puts her ignorant privileged ass right on the asphalt, she runs off holding her rather sizable nose.
