Fux Noise and Tucker Carlson use 'minute-by-minute' ratings that show their audience loves Nazism
Fox News and host Tucker Carlson look closely at minute-by-minute ratings that show there's an appetite among its audience for talking points embraced by white nationalists, according to a report published Saturday by The New York Times.
The Times published a three-part series called "American Nationalist" that's all about Carlson, cable TV's highest-rated primetime pundit.
Three former Fox employees told the Times Carlson specifically relied on "minute-by-minute" ratings data. Such data is more expensive than "quarter-hour" ratings used by other cable newsrooms, but it provides feedback down to the minute on what leads viewers to change the channel or stick around.
Carlson's stories about immigration or warnings of demographic change in the US, like the white nationalist "Great Replacement" theory, were a hit, the outlet reported.
