Fascist Fox viewers see little or none of the explosive January 6th testimony

And Fox continues to grow and gain more market share against its competition.

"The network drew 2.27 million total viewers in primetime, up 4% from May, 2021. MSNBC averaged 1.02 million, down 32%, while CNN averaged 660,000, down 28%. In the 25-54 demographic, Fox News topped with an average of 351,000 viewers, compared to 150,000 for CNN and 105,000 for MSNBC." Deadline.com

The good bad news is that only 2.7 mullion out of 330,000 million Americans watch primetime news. So 320 x million do not actively watch the news and 2.27 million get fascist propaganda.

How can we win the hearts and minds of the Americans so we can save our Democracy with this kind of problem?

8. And when they air them their viewers tune out.

NEW YORK – Fox News Channel is airing the Jan. 6 committee hearings when they occur in daytime hours and a striking number of the network's viewers have made clear they'd rather be doing something else.

During two daytime hearings last week, Fox averaged 727,000 viewers, the Nielsen company said. That compares to the 3.09 million who watched the hearings on MSNBC and the 2.21 million tuned in to CNN.

It completely flips the typical viewing pattern for the news networks. During weekdays when the hearings are not taking place, Fox News Channel routinely has more viewers than the other two networks combined, Nielsen said.

Last Thursday, Fox had 1.33 million viewers for the 2 p.m. Eastern hour before the hearing started — slightly below its second quarter average but on par for early summer, when fewer people are watching TV.

After the hearing started, Fox's audience's sank to 747,000 for the 3 p.m. Eastern hour and even lower, to 718,000, at 4 p.m. Fox cut away from the hearing at 5 p.m. to show its popular panel program, “The Five,” and fans immediately rewarded them: viewership shot up to 2.76 million people, Nielsen said.

The apparent lack of interest explains why the frequently Trump-friendly network stuck with its regular lineup during the committee's only prime-time hearing, while ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC all showed the Washington proceedings. “The Five” has also been cable television's most-watched show, on average, for nine months.

10. Your OP title has no relationship to the cited articles.

Fox has shown all but the first prime time Committee session, and it’s commentators were describing yesterday’s revelations as “devastating”.

11. Fox News web site on the day linked had no articles on the Jan 6th hearing. And does not now

so . . . .

12. Website readers aren't the usual definition of "Fox Viewers"

I'm thinking there are a lot more watching TV.

14. Read Pew research in this regard.

That is why fox viewers won't watch

15. Too many people have been living in their little bubble for too long.

A huge problem.
