True, but it was more than three times what they normally get.
They were already moving away from the trumpeter before he was ever out of office, so why would they move back now?noblepa wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 9:28 amTrue, but it was more than three times what they normally get.
The numbers were probably disappointing for the Orange one, but then, he probably doesn't believe them and thinks that 100 million people watched. Nielson is part of the deep state!
My question remains: will competition from OAN and NewsMax push Fox further right?
I don't know, The oldest one running things, Lachlan (sp?) is said to enjoy the chaos. The younger one, James, left the family biz because of it. I'll look for the linky. I know I read about it a few months back.
To hang on to his followers, perhaps. Fox's entire raison d'etre is to promulgate the conservative point of view. Roger Ailes pitched the idea of a conservative TV network to Richard Nixon while the latter was still President. At the time, cable systems were little more than community shared antenna systems, so the idea went nowhere. By the 1990's satellites and cable systems had become ubiquitous and Fox News was born.sugar magnolia wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 9:33 am They were already moving away from the trumpeter before he was ever out of office, so why would they move back now?
I don't have a link, but I have read that faux noise moved back to the former guy because their ratings were going down and they were losing viewers to OAN, etc.noblepa wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 9:51 amTo hang on to his followers, perhaps.

IMHO, Fox has been one of the principle drivers of the political polarization in this country. As their viewers drift even further right, Fox may follow them. Fox has always been obsessed with ratings. If the ratings show that viewers are shifting to OAN and NewsMax, they may follow.
Besides, I don't think that Fox's soft-pedalling on their support for Trump indicated any kind of shift to the left.

I can't recall if I mentioned it, but Brian Stelter's book on all things Fox - Hoax - is now out in paperback with updates relating to 1/6 and beyond. I bought a Kindle edition last year, and the updates were available to download there. The prologue is unsettling. No wonder Kevin McCarthy wants to sweep it under the rug. If anyone is interested, I can highlight some of it and paste here.
New study? It's old news, as it was already know that hydroxy-whatevahh in specific scenarios and as prescribed by hospital doctors (not tv charlatans even when standing in the WH in front of a mic) can *assist* in releaving the effects of lung and breathing issues in general, and such can in specific cases help hospitalized covid patients.
This is the new study they are crowing about: Yahoo - Study shows hydroxychloroquine and zinc treatments increased coronavirus survival rate by almost three timesRTH10260 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 1:15 pm New study?

Actual study - Not peer reviewed, FWIW.
if distributed at higher doses to ventilated patients with a severe version of the illness.

Interesting question. I have not seen any numbers about vaccinated people getting reinfected. I only know that vaccination is highly effective against getting infected in the first place, and I have read that the illness progresses mild if vaccinated.
Give that it appears to be the most pernicious variant, I assumed ▲ stood for "Darwin."
