1. Impressive stats!

[ananda]

2. I am a big Joy Reid fan!

I love her show.

[AwakeAtLast]

15. Me, too!

3. Happy they are doing so well.

4. Ratings are like elections, it means people are watching!

This is THE best thing that's happened so far this year. If you have the eyeballs, you can inform the public.

Rachel is scorching it!

6. Yes, people are waking up!! The spell is breaking!

Very good news indeed!

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. People are not waking up, they are just seeking more extreme sources for news. Nt

[liberalla]

16. You consider MSNBC a "more extreme" source of news?

[Fiendish Thingy]

17. You're not paying attention- Fox ratings down as Newsmax and OAN ratings go up

That’s why MSNBC has #1 status (ratings raw numbers are never mentioned)- the former #1 Fox, has lost tons of viewers to the more extreme networks Newsmax and OAN.

MSNBC doesn’t need more viewers to be #1, they just need the former #1 to lose viewers.

More Americans get their news from right wing extremist networks than from MSNBC and CNN.

5. That is a very good sign, people want to be informed and might be avoiding the bull from Fox

To me, that is the most important thing of these news.

[liberalla]

9. I agree! Very good and important news! People want truth and change.

[Fiendish Thingy]

18. No they don't - they want more extreme echo chambers

That’s why viewership has exploded at Newsmax and OAN, not at MSNBC.

MSNBC has retained their regular core viewership, but not expanded it since the election. They are #1 only because the Q cultists left Fox for more extreme sources.

[Jon King]

7. Fox News ratings always drove me nuts.

MSNBC and CNN would always split the ratings of the sane people, and Fox News would brag about how high their ratings were. It was never a fair comparison.

Now that they split with Newsmax, OAN, and Crazybook online made up news, we can compare the ratings on an equal footing.

[tavernier]

8. I wonder how CNN did?

Some of their shows are better than MSNBC... certainly better than Chuck or Mrs. Greenspan.

[Botany]

10. More of us then they are of them

11. Are Republican/Nazi's losing their ability to watch Fox entertainment?

[hkp11]

12. this is good news!

people want the truth and accurate info instead of lies!!

Considering we are off of Drumpf news - and onto Biden truthful & empathetic president - that people do want to watch so called boring news by repukes (it is not boring to me).

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. What's not said is did MSNBC's ratings go up significantly, or did Fox's just go down?

We know Fox has been bleeding viewers to Newsmax and OAN, dropping them from their usual first place slot, but nowhere in the data I have seen are any info on MSNBC’s raw viewership numbers- have they gone up significantly or stayed the same?

I think it’s safe to say that if you combined the numbers for Fox, Newsmax and OAN, they surpass MSNBC’s numbers, and probably MSNBC and CNN combined- more Americans are still watching RWNJ news compared to other sources.
