<p class="wp-block-paragraph">FOX News remained the number one cable news network since &#8230; God knows when. It has been years. Not only has FOX remained king of the cable mountain, but according to a report in the New York Post, the Rupert Murdock network “trounced” the competition. According to Nielsen Research Center, July was “the most viewed month ever.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">FOX was the most watched network during the month’s major events – including the assassination attempt on President Trump, the Republican National Convention and President Biden’s national address announcing his withdrawal from the campaign.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In primetime, FOX’s 3.5 million viewers – with 500,000 in the highly coveted 25 to 54 year old demographic &#8211;crushed second place MSNBC. ; The hardcore left network attracted 1.2 million primetime viewers &#8212; and only 82,000 in the key demographic category.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(Whoa! ; You mean that the left-leaning network that is said to appeal to the younger generation attracted only one-sixth of the FOX number in that group? ; Something to ponder. ; But I digress.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">CNN – the once self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” – did not even hit the one million mark in primetime viewers. ; They came in with a pitiful 856,000 viewers and 200,000 in the 25 to 54 year old demographic group. ; (Gads! Even CNN beat out MSNBC with young viewers.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Jesse Watters Primetime” got top billing with 4.4 million viewers – and 600,000 viewers in the key demographic. ; It was the strongest showing since the show started in the 8 p.m. time slot. ; And for the first time, it took the top spot from “The Five,” which averaged 3.9 million viewers – and 400,000 in the key younger demographic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Daytime viewership was similar in terms of the competitive relationship. FOX brought in 1.9 million viewers &#8212; 260,000 in the 25 to 54 demographics. ; MSNBC attracted 712,000 viewers – 82,000 in the key graphic. ; CNN had 523,000 viewers – 110,000 in the key demographic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When compared to the 2020 presidential election year viewership, FOX is up 17 percent and MSNBC and CNN both lost 40 percent of their audience. ; As has been the case for most months, FOX viewership exceeds that of MSNBC and CNN combined. ; And the gap is getting wider.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">FOX overwhelms the competition despite the fact that both CNN and MSNBC – especially MSNBC – have gone on the attack against the Murdock-owned network.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, there ‘tis.</p>

CNN and MSNBC cannot catch a FOX
