President Obama, in an interview with Bill
Maher before the election last November, said that “if I watched Fox News, I
wouldn’t vote for me either.” After the election he explained why he thought
the Democrats lost the election to Donald Trump. He said, “In this election,
working-class white voters turned out in huge numbers for Trump. And a big
reason is Fox News is in every bar and restaurant in ‘big chunks’ of the
country.” Well, I hate to say it, but (not really, I love to say it)...the ‘big
chunks’ are getting bigger.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings
announcement, Fox News has done something no other cable news network has come
close to accomplishing. They are celebrating 15 years in a row as the most
watch cable news network. And here’s the kicker. In January Fox News averaged
2.8 million viewers, up 35 percent from the previous year. In addition, they
had 14 of the top 15 in cable news in total viewers and 8 out of 10 top
programs for the 25-54 demographic. Like I said, the ‘big chunks’ are getting
bigger.
And if this trend of 35 percent increase in
viewership continues, especially in the 25-54 demographic, it won’t be too long
before these big chunks will be showing up in places like New York and
California. I’ll guarantee you this, the movers and shakers in the Democrat
Party are much more worried about ‘bigger chunks’ than the are about Donald J.
Trump.
