How long before CNN MSDNC and other democrat strongholds are no longer

Not long I suspect.

'Fox News Reigns Supreme: They’ve Obliterated CNN and MSNBC … Combined'

'To say that 2024 was a hectic year in the news industry would be an
understatement.

There were devastating natural disasters, all manner of political
scandals, incredible celebrity falls from grace, a controversial
Olympics, presidential assassination attempts (two of them), and a
somewhat significant event known as a general election.

And that’s just barely scratching the surface.

One would think that with such momentous news throughout the year, major
cable news networks would’ve had a bountiful 2024 in terms of
viewership.

One would be partially correct.

As the network itself reported, Fox News utterly trounced its two
closest peers when it came to viewership in 2024.

The network boasted that it finished the year “with its highest share of
the cable news audience since 2015.”

“Along the way, Fox News Channel averaged 1.5 million total day viewers
and 2.4 million during prime time to top all cable options,” the network
reported. “Fox News has now finished No. 1 in both categories for
nine-straight years and increased its audience by 21 percent among total
day and 30 percent during prime time compared to 2023.”

By the numbers, Fox was sure to point out how its competition did.

“MSNBC averaged 791,000 total day viewers, and CNN managed 481,000,” the
network reported. “During prime time, MSNBC averaged 1.2 million viewers
from 8-11 p.m. ET, and CNN settled for only 685,000 as Fox News topped
them combined in both categories despite the historic year of news.

“It was Fox News’ highest share of the cable news audience in nearly a
decade, as the network held 56 percent of the cable news audience in
prime time and 53 percent in total day.”

Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott told her own network that she was
especially proud of the “entire team for proving once again why we are
the nation’s most-watched network as we outpaced the competition in
covering the stories that mattered most to everyday Americans.”

Scott also boasted that “viewers across the political spectrum” would
watch Fox News.

And therein may lay at least part of the reason Fox News is lapping the
competition.

While the network is undoubtedly conservative-leaning, it has long given
platforms to liberal voices like Geraldo Rivera. Even conservative
firebrand Sean Hannity will have respectful discussions with leftists,
like ESPN host Stephen A. Smith.

Compare that to MSNBC and CNN, whose left-leaning sensibilities give the
biggest platforms to race-baiters like Joy Reid and far-leftists like
Don Lemon.

(Though, in fairness, CNN has recently platformed conservative
commentator Scott Jennings.)

Fox News’ dominance has been in place for decades now. The network has
been on top in daytime and primetime viewers for 23 straight years'
