Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Fox's Entire Primetime Ratings Absolutely Crasha newsmanHannity is now at #26 in the demo, below the lowly Anderson Cooper, Joy Reid, Jake Tapper, Katie Tur, and Erin Burnett. The Ingraham Angle is at #28. Gutfeld's two shows are now #1 and #2. Jesse Watters is also weathering the storm. JustTheNews: Fox News' prime-time viewership dramatically decreased without Tucker Carlson, according to Nielsen, the data and marketing measurement firm. ... Carlson's eponymous 8 p.m. ET show averaged 3.2 million viewers during the first quarter of 2023, meaning that ratings fell 47% without him.The Paul Ryan-led Brain Trust at Fox corporate has a plan of how to dig itself out of this hole: They're just going to keep on leaking video and texts of Tucker saying possibly, maybe?, politically-incorrect things to Noted Conservative Standard-Bearers the New York Times and Media Matters, and trust that Tucker's audience, once they hear him saying non-woke things, will abandon him. Great plan, Irena! Fox wants you to know -- through the Dirt Laundering Service of the New York Times -- that Tucker Carlson said "it's not how white men fight" when he saw J6 protesters gang-attacking an antifa militia member. A text message sent by Tucker Carlson that set off a panic at the highest levels of Fox on the eve of its billion-dollar defamation trial showed its most popular host sharing his private, inflammatory views about violence and race. The discovery of the message contributed to a chain of events that ultimately led to Mr. Carlson's firing. In the message, sent to one of his producers in the hours after violent Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Mr. Carlson described how he had recently watched a video of a group of men -- Trump supporters, he said -- violently attacking "an Antifa kid." It was "three against one, at least," he wrote. And then he expressed a sense of dismay that the attackers, like him, were white. "Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously," he wrote. "It's not how white men fight," he said. But he said he found himself for a moment wanting the group to kill the person he had described as the Antifa kid.By the way: In that text, Tucker criticizes himself for feeling this way. Tucker Carlson January 7, 2021 -- 04:18:04 PM UTC A couple of weeks ago, I was watching video of people fighting on the street in Washington. A group of Trump guys surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living shit out of him. It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It's not how white men fight. Yet suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they'd hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it. Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn't good for me. I'm becoming something I don't want to be. The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does, much as I'm sure I'd hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn't gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don't care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is? Sean DavisFox News should consider the post-Tucker environment in which Tucker Carlson not only competes against Fox, but releases all of his dirt about Fox to conservative outlets. So far, he hasn't. But what happens when Tucker begins spilling the beans about Fox's very liberal management and the routine censorship they impose on hosts? The sudden unscheduled vacations, which Fox then lies about and claims had been secretly scheduled for weeks? Maybe this isn't about damaging Tucker. Maybe at this point, this is about justifying Rupert Murdoch's senile, egotistical snap decision to fire Fox's number one draw. Maybe this is about attempting to convince shareholders not to fire the entire f***ing board. Below: Media Matters and the New York Times are now running The Video of Tucker's terrible statements that a woman is "yummy" (he immediately says "just kidding" and that he doesn't even know what that woman looks like, which the media did not report) and that "post-menopausal women," his hair and makeup team, are checking to see if he looks good.

Catastrophic. ++++ What was it before? Is his relative movement greater or smaller than Carlson's? Hannity's figure is an absolute - "Less than 100k!!!!!" - but Carlson's is a relative figure - "Down 70% OMG!!!!!!" Was Hannity's relative move larger or smaller?

Fox News' loss appears to have bolstered viewership at Newsmax.
"Eric Bolling The Balance" had 562,000 viewers during Carlson's typical 8 p.m. slot, marking a fivefold increase from last Tuesday when Carlson was interviewing Elon Musk. Newsmax's "Rob Schmitt Tonight," "Prime News" and "Greg Kelly Reports" also all doubled in size from last week. ++++ How much of Fox's vanishing audience does Newsmax's doubling represent? If Fox lost 1.5 million viewers but a doubling at Newsmax represents a net addition of 1 million viewers, that probably means that 500k have dropped out of the cable news market. That's good, if true. An actual *shrinking* of the cable news audience (rather than a reshuffling) would be a net positive. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at May 03, 2023 02:43 PM (O4oKn) 34

I heard someone on I think Charlie Kirk's show surmise that the Murdochs have chosen to shrink their audience and tack closer to the middle/McConnel/country club conservatism in order to gain advertisers and more importantly get back into the social graces of the oligarchy.
When you're at a party and having to apologize for running FOX, it's got to get tiring for these people. If there audience shrinks but their ad revenue increases and those invites that were not coming finally come in, I think the Murdochs will call that a win. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters to them. They're foreigners, they don't give a f**k about this country. Posted by: Thomas Bender at May 03, 2023 02:44 PM (up/3i) 36

So maybe Fox isn't releasing this. Maybe Media Matters and the New York Times have been stealing these clips for a while, and then Fox fired Tucker when Media Matters and New York Times asked for comment.
That doesn't explain how his texts got released, though. ++++ Occam isn't always right, but he usually is. Fox leaking it requires the fewest assumptions, so that's what I'm going with in the absence of other evidence. It helps that Fox itself leaking this stuff makes sense.

The problem the NYT - and now Fox News - has is that they honestly think that conservatives not only watch/read them, but that conservatives care/can be influenced by what they say.
They don't realize that not only are we not watching them, WE DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY, because they have ruined their credibility in our eyes, and they aren't ever going to get that back. If people don't believe what you say, then what you say has no influence. It's always hard for these folks to realize that the peasants can - and do - think for themselves. Oh, well....

Hannity has long been insufferable. I'm lazy, but I actually made the effort to turn off the TV after Tucker, before I had to hear Hannity's voice. There's no other reason I can imagine anyone being tuned into Hannity except laziness in changing the channel.

The city of Kherson near the front line in southern Ukraine will be under curfew for 58 hours from Friday evening, a local official said, as Ukraine prepares for a spring offensive.
"During these 58 hours, it is forbidden to move on the streets of the city," the head of Kherson's regional military administration Oleksandr Prokudin said on Telegram on Wednesday.

I don't think this tactic will work well.
A great deal of our society now views news through a new lens. We understand it's all infused with propaganda intended to elicit a response, because none of it is even fact-based anymore. So people don't really read stories and become suddenly shocked by the revelations anymore. They see the intent of the story, not the substance of it. In this case, the vast majority people that enjoyed Carlson's presence in the information realm don't care. They follow him because they believe his intention is to bring to light dissident views based on facts instead of narrative. Unless they can produce a live boy or a dead hooker, it's all a waste of time and space. Fox News is now the drunken, whore ex-wife slurring out her tales of how unbearable her husband was to a bar full of people that only see an aging, drunken slut that they find increasingly annoying.

One thing I'm noticing is just how much the anti-Tucker strategy of the Fox News bigwigs is similar to the average Hannity show. They focus on the "un-Christian" words used rather than the meat of what was said.
In Hannity's case, it usually is aimed at a Democrat. The Democrat will say, "I hate those fucking gun owners and want to go door to door and take their fucking guns," Hannity will bring on a guest to talk about the horror of someone USING THE F WORD!!!!!!! instead of the extreme tyrannical anti-2A message. In the case of the anti-Tucker leaks, you have the same thing in reverse. He used some strong language in the process of stating reasonable views, even if I disagree with him regarding the morality of hurting, or killing, antifa parasites. The assumption in both cases is that their audience are a bunch of frightened old church ladies who want to feel safe from all the immoral meanies out there. This goes hand in hand with Hannity's stupid country western concerts he's always promoting. Posted by: Ken at May 03, 2023 03:08 PM (3kkL5) 208

I have to consider that this is part of a plan to make sure no conservative candidate gets the white house. FNC used to be the only sizeable alternative to the obvious lies coming from CNN/MSNBC/PBS and every major newspaper. (Admittedly, they looked good mostly by contrast.) With it diminished, maybe destroyed, it's one less way for people to learn anything even vaguely related to reality. That would suit the demented Left perfectly and they would ruin themselves, as well as the country, to get it.

I've known quite a few wealthy people in my life - mostly working for them, with their organizations, or associated with deals that they were involved in - their complete and utter contempt for anyone outside their immediate peer orbit is - astronomical and unmeasurable.
They hate everyone's guts except their immediate friends or people that they want as immediate friends - and that ain't you or me. Thus, buying a broadsheet that allows them all to crow to their friends and spread their empty thoughts - Fox, CNN, ABC, NBC, WAPO, NYT etc - is well worth the loss - it's like wearing expensive clothing brands, buying wasteful and foolish mansions, or showing off in a sports car you too old and dumb looking to cool in. It's just bad dumbass consumption spending by people with lousy personal character with the cash necessary to be all up in everyone's face about it.

I agree that we see news through a news lens.
However, as witnessed with my parents, Tucker covered stories they had no way of ever accessing given their non-use of social media. They are savvy consumers via more traditional press (WSJ, JAMA, a few substack subscriptions, etc) but the never would have heard of Libs of TikTok and her content (just one example) without Tucker. There is no other source to them that does that. Posted by: Lizzy at May 03, 2023 03:19 PM (iT3bv) 301

Related, from the sidebar: This Time It's Different, Fox
Buck Sexton thinks that Fox's only option is to beg Tucker to come back. I don't think that's a realistic option. Fox needs to get someone their mainstream Boomer associates with conservatism, but is actually an Establishment shill. Normally, I'd think Hannity would just get promoted, but if his ratings are dropping, it needs to be someone that LOOKS like a fresh new outsider. Newt Gingrich? He's pretty old, but the main Fox viewers might be interested in him. Shapiro fits the bill, but already has his own network. Bring back Megyn Kelly?

I think that the left will eventually come for the media mogul - he or she either signs up for the lefty Stalin revolution or they have to get walked out to the ditch of "The People's Truth" - a lot of them, having been rich and pushed folks around a lot, will not give in and meet a "poverty event" that they could have avoided - others will attempt to buy it off for a while, meet some limited success (like the Russian Oligarchs did) but finally learn the hard and permanent way that they are ill-suited to navigate that world.
But the current crop of Dem politicos that found financial success using slick and greasy graft and corruption ought to be the best ones' suited to navigate the coming left-wing pogroms - they've instigated and profited off so many of them already.

Fox claims Carlson is still an employee.
Yeah to the best of my knowledge he's just suspended, not fired. Why do it that way?

Sure, Fox is all Dems, and they're controlled opposition media.
But let's not overlook the thing where they are pure garbage, and their product is horrible and it *always has been.* It's the absolute rock bottom dumpster of cable news in terms of quality, including CNN, and the only thing they ever had going for them was pretending to be on the """right.""" That's over now, they can't keep pretending anymore, and I welcome their irrelevance. It's incredibly sad and telling that they had an audience as long as they did.

Fox needs to get someone their mainstream Boomer associates with conservatism, but is actually an Establishment shill. Normally, I'd think Hannity would just get promoted, but if his ratings are dropping, it needs to be someone that LOOKS like a fresh new outsider.

Posted by: Elric Blade at May 03, 2023 02:41 PM (iFTx/) According to one of the talking heads on Newsmax last week, they don't generate as much revenue at 8 pm cuz of scaredy cats not wanting to have ads on the top rated show on fox. So, IF they were back at 2 + mil fairly soon, about the same ad revenue. I am convinced, just like A.B. they thought they could weather this storm (ala Bill O'Reilly) Plus, the Murdochs are swimming in moola....how much do they really care? They want to make Fox CNN circa 1995. Then sell for many billions... That's why everyone needs to never drink Bud Light again (Hey its #1, someone's drinking it) and not watch Fox again too... Posted by: ziggggeeee at May 03, 2023 03:53 PM (3TmQA) 483
What Fox has done, in addition to ruining their brand, is to give me back an hour every day that I used to watch Tucker in. Why watch the rest of the cable channel, when the same people are on multiple shows and say the same thing in every one, talking about things that you have been reading all day on line? Tucker always had something interesting to say. Didn't always agree with him, but he looked at the world through his eyes, not Fox's. He was the only reason to watch.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 03, 2023 03:33 PM (0hOvj) So I can tell that no one here seems to really understand employment contract law - but everyone at Tucker's level has a "non-disparagement" clause, one to essentially prevent what everyone is speculating just happened to The Tucker Carlson Tonight" show employees - Fox can't fire and prevent Tucker or about everyone under him from pursuing or preserving his reputation in the industry - and he can't prevent Fox from doing the same. Unless either party can claim that clause void in court, and there is usually a huge list that voids that - none of which anyone has heard of yet - ie it ain't private texts to buddies or leaked private emails to NYT/Wapo/abc/cnn and NBC buddies. Posted by: Boswell at May 03, 2023 04:05 PM (+Cgut) 485
Meh, Tucker's departure is just the final nail in Fox News. Viewers started abandoning them after their part in stealing the 2020 election. Keeping Tucker as long as they did slowed the hemoraging a little but it was never going to stop.

So maybe Fox isn't releasing this. Maybe Media Matters and the New York Times have been stealing these clips for a while, and then Fox fired Tucker when Media Matters and New York Times asked for comment.
++++ I know I'm late to this one, but I don't think this is possible anymore. It used to be the case that all kinds of people were grabbing off the satellites all the off-the-air interchanges between field reporters and the network, for example. But, after they got embarrassed by a few too-candid moments, everyone started scrambling (encrypting) those off-the-air feeds. Some outlets even scramble the on-the-air feeds, because they want everyone to pay for the direct feeds now. Posted by: No Name Today at May 03, 2023 05:16 PM (vlXMQ) 488
Another story said the "Anonymous sources asked to remain unnamed" because the texts etc were under court seal, and a COURT Order had specifically barred ANYONE from divulging, discussing, commenting about, or releasing them.
IE: Doing so IS A CRIME. Any lawyer who knowingly participates in a crime loses all attorney client privileges, as do their clients. These same anti Trump/Tucker lawyers just got that affirmed to "Get Trump". Requiring ALL email, phone, text, personal correspondence and conversations to be fair game to investigate to see IF any crime had been committed. I hope every outlet that ran these stories gets sued IMMEDIATELY and all communications seized. Posted by: birddog at May 03, 2023 05:53 PM (uAI4S) 489
