Melania WHO? She very rarely participated at rallies when Donny was President. She's got an exit strategy, and it doesn't involve supporting her husband's disillusions, imo. She''s gonna take her kid and run.

True, 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?

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.

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 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.

I think I read that too somewhere.

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.

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 times
Actual study - Not peer reviewed, FWIW.

if distributed at higher doses to ventilated patients with a severe version of the illness.

Inquiring minds want to know the survival rate of Covid19 patients who were vaccinated.
