Cable News: Sorta FOX News


FOX has increased its domination of cable news ratings. Its top two shows, "Tucker Carlson Tonight" and "The Five", nearly double the audience of their MSNBC and CNN competitors combined. The competition is so weak that "Fox Primetime," at 7 pm Eastern with no permanent anchor -- hosts rotate weekly -- handily beat the combined total for both Joy Reid (MSNBC) and Erin Burnett (CNN). 

"Fox Primetime's" audience meant every show in the 4 pm to midnight line-up -- every show including non-prime Cavuto at 4 pm and Gutfeld at 11 pm -- topped the highest rated non-FOX show (MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow").

CNN had no primetime show with an audience over 870,000. The one-time cable news standared finished behind both FOX and MSNBC in every hour.

“It’s Over” indeed.

Julian Epstein is a Democratic Party strategist who helped President Clinton navigate through sticky political issues. Epstein faults Obama for “a set of ideas and tactics” causing the Democrats’ 2024 loss, including “Demography is Destiny” — “a kind of manifest destiny of the left, adopted in the second Obama term, that promises an ever-diversifying electorate would inexorably vote Democratic [influenced by] cartoonish appeals to identity and big government wardship.”  Epstein also hit Obama’s emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), on the era’s hormone therapies and surgeries on youth, and the failure of Obama’s leaning toward Iran and away from Israel in the Middle East. We welcome Epstein’s January 4 burial of the “Obama Era.” Readers will recall our “It’s Over” blog entry on November 12, 2024 , documenting Obama’s political passing.

And our second founding fathers—abolitionists like Frederick Douglass—made it so. America would never be perfect, but we could always strive toward building a more perfect union. No longer. American liberalism is under siege. — Bari Weiss, Tablet   Bari Weiss resigned in protest last July from the New York Times .

It’s Over.

  since the rise of Barack Obama, Democrats have seen themselves as destined to rule. With his presidential victory in 2008, they created a seemingly unbridgeable political empire. With the support of big cities, young progressives, universities, the media and an ever-expanding government workforce, the party [] imagined it could stay in power indefinitely. — Joel Kotkin, spiked the time has now arrived for Barack Obama to leave Washington and exit American politics, now that his Shadow Presidency — which proved to be even more counter-productive and chaotic than Trump’s first term in office — has gone down in flames. — David Samuels, UnHerd   The worst thing about Obama America: the absence of excellence. Democrats care about government. So it’s unsurprising they used to be about governing well, bringing out the best in leadership. FDR New Deal and World War II victory; Truman Marshall Plan, NATO, UN defending Korea; JFK to the Moon, Cuban Missile Crisis, Tax Reform, Nucle...
