FOX News lied to its viewers to maintain ratings

“Newly released messages show Fox executives fretting that month over an uncomfortable revelation: that if they told their audience the truth about the election, it could destroy their business model”

“Getting creamed by CNN!” Murdoch wrote to Scott on Nov. 8, a day after most news organizations declared that Biden had won. “Guess our viewers don’t want to watch it.”

Their “business model” is to tell stupid people what the want to hear.

Gutfeld comedy show has higher ratings than CNN.

Gutfeld! has outperformed other late-night comedy shows, including those hosted by Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert.

CNN's response is to fire all the lying journos that drove their viewers away. Who would have thought endless shows covering Trump during a Biden administration could be such a turnoff!

However, twice as many people are watching  Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert in total as  compared to those watching Gutfield.

That's no consolation for Colbert's bottom line. Or Don Lemon who got kicked off his prime spot.

To a comedian....

Maybe Colbert can siphon some ratings from "comedienne" Samantha bee viewers ...all 10 of them...now that her show is cancelled.

So 67 percent of night viewers are watching someone other than Gutfield.  And 33 percent are watching Gutfield.

OMG, 33 percent  is the percent of the population that support Trump!

And 10 Samantha Bee viewers support Biden? OK.

No doubt you are one of the millions of idiots watching Guttfield and think they are watching news.

To enjoy works of fiction often requires a form of participation called the "willfull suspension of disbelief", in which we suspend critical thinking for the sake of enjoyment. 

I think it's the same thing with Fox News, sure they are lying, but that's what the audience wants them to do, it's supply and demand, they are suppliying lies to meet the demand. They aren't really lying to the audience because the audience isn't fooled, telling them what they want to hear, because that's what they want, they use Fox News to lie to themselves because it feels good and they enjoy it.

Unblock me.

Stupid people want to hear stupid stuff. FOX gave it to them. When FOX  tried to tell the truth to their viewers, OANN and Newsmax were waiting in the wings to offer more stupid stuff. FOX had to go dumb or they would be out of business.

Now McCarthy gives the security tapes of the 1/6 committee to the liars.  Just FOX News - why?

What about all the lies by FOX News that have surfaced about election fraud?
