Sean Hannity's Ratings Plunge After 

Tucker Carlsons Fox News Exit


Carlson’s finale a week ago drew 2.65 million viewers, according to Nielsen. The data shows that Brian Kilmeade’s substitute hosting gig for “Fox News Tonight” saw ratings of 2.59 million on Monday, 1.7 million on Tuesday, and 1.33 million on Wednesday, respectively. Last Wednesday, Carlson drew about 3 million viewers, Nielsen figures show.

But the 9 p.m. Fox News program hosted by Sean Hannity drew about 2.5 million on Monday, 2 million on Tuesday, and 1.7 million on Wednesday night, according to Nielsen. In comparison, Hannity drew about 2.6 million viewers the Wednesday a week before, the ratings show.



Laura Ingraham’s “The Ingraham Angle” drew 2.156 million on Wednesday, April 19. But this past Wednesday, two days after Carlson was confirmed gone, her show drew 1.55 million viewers.

Jesse Watters’ show also saw a decline. For Wednesday, it saw an audience of 1.558 million, but a week prior, it generated 2.1 million.


Hannity’s Response

Earlier this week, Hannity admitted to having limited knowledge about the reasons behind Carlson's departure. Carlson used to hand off to Hannity after his 8 p.m. show, as both are among the top-rated cable news personalities.

During his program "The Sean Hannity Show" on Monday, Hannity expressed his difficulty in understanding the situation. He mentioned that his phone had been ringing nonstop, and he had no clue about the details. He wasn't sure if Carlson left on his own, if Fox made the decision, or if it was a mutual agreement.

Despite being the longest-serving host at Fox News, Hannity stated that he had no insider information about the matter. He explained that he didn't own the company, and hence, didn't have any authoritative power over its decisions. So, he couldn't provide any valuable insights to those seeking answers.

Newsmax Surges

Since Carlson's departure, one of the immediate beneficiaries seems to be Newsmax, a conservative-leaning news network and a rival of Fox News. According to Nielsen ratings, while Fox's primetime ratings have declined, Newsmax's ratings have surged.

Eric Bolling, a host on Newsmax, had 510,000 viewers on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET, compared to just 168,000 the week before. On Tuesday, Bolling's show drew 562,000 viewers, a significant increase from the 122,000 viewers on the same day a week earlier.

This week, Newsmax has been promoting the claim that Fox News is becoming more liberal and is bowing to left-wing interests by allowing Carlson to leave the network. However, the exact reason behind Carlson's departure is still unclear.

There's Something Very Bizarre About What Was Just Discovered.. (Secret Mystery On Mountain)

Image
 Apparently, a rare event occurred in California just two days ago—a tornado tore through a shopping center in Scott Valley, an unusual phenomenon for the region, as tornadoes are extremely uncommon in California. While this alone is a compelling story, it leads to something even more intriguing. The tornado not only caused damage to the shopping center but also led to the closure of a specific road: Mount Hermon Road. This detail caught attention, especially considering a recent unrelated event involving Mount Hermon. Just a week ago, news emerged of Israel taking control of Mount Hermon from Syria. The coincidence of these two events—one involving a rare tornado in California and the other a significant geopolitical development in the Middle East—adds a layer of curiosity to the story. It raises questions about the name connection and the unusual alignment of events occurring within such a short time frame.

Sen. Tom Cotton Presses Pentagon to Preserve Records on Border Wall Material Sales

Image
Republican Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has sent a formal request to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding that the Department of Defense (DoD) preserve records related to the sale of unused border wall materials. Cotton’s letter comes amid growing scrutiny over the Biden administration's decision to auction off these materials at low prices, a move that has sparked political controversy ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s anticipated second term. Background on the Issue The Biden administration halted construction of the U.S. southern border wall upon taking office. Last year, Congress authorized the disposal of unused border wall materials under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) . Since then, the administration has been selling the materials through auctions, often at significantly reduced prices. This decision has faced backlash from Republicans who view the sale as an attempt to undermine border security policies. Cotton’s Requests In his letter, Cotton urged...
