Fox News Digital finishes 2024 as top news brand among key metrics during unprecedented year of news (1 Viewer)

Congrats to Fox News!

I used to prefer watching Santa Barbara myself. Mason Capwell could really crack me up. It"s the only soap opera I've ever watched regularly. The Fox story lines don't make me laugh like that.

Too, not owning a TV has been a hindrance, but it is a requirement among us tofu eaters.

Layoffs, Liquidation and Ratings Collapse, the Legacy Media’s Post-Election Reckoning › American Greatness

The repercussions of last week’s presidential election is sending shockwaves through a number of legacy media outlets which are now being downsized, put up for sale or retreating from the public…

amgreatness.com

Corporate media outlets like CNN are laying off hundreds of staffers, including some of their top stars, following poor ratings on election night that saw the network trailing rivals MSNBC and Fox News.

Los Angeles Times whose owner just fired the entire editorial board and promised to create a new “fair & balanced” one, are distancing themselves from what has largely been a left-wing echo chamber.

MSNBC, whose hosts have been reliable daily sources of anti-Trump content for years, has seen its ratings tumble by 54% in prime time following Trump’s decisive election victory. Now there’s talk that Comcast is considering putting MSNBC up for sale.

ven more remarkable is the decision of large mainstream outlets like the Guardian to withdraw from X (formerly Twitter) because their narrative can be challenged in real time via the platform’s Community Notes feature.

There’s a certain irony when when a legacy media outlet chooses to withdraw from one of the least censored social media platforms because it cannot peddle misinformation without being publicly corrected.

The whole Community Notes bit cracks me up to no end. I mean, if one doesn't want to trust establishment media, ok. However, to posit that "community notes" is an effective way to fact check is like trying to get accurate news information at a dive bar. This kind of thing is a good as the community, and if you have enough bad actors, those notes can become unreliable quickly.

As a service, community notes is as flimsy as the reasons for its existence.

Why? Do you own stock in this deplorable lying media?

If not, and you don't, it seems strange to be so giddy about this.

It seems strange that you would be so hateful towards them.

If you're going to call yourself a news station and lie about the news all the time, of course you'll have huge ratings. Fiction sells better than facts.

Hey way to go Fox News Digital! Let's all give a well deserved round of applause to those guys!! They do a great job!

Fox News Digital finished 2024 as the top news brand among multiplatform views and minutes while seeing yearly growth across all metrics, according to Comscore.

The year featured an unprecedented news cycle that saw President Biden perform so poorly during an infamous presidential debate that he ultimately withdrew from the race, Vice President Kamala Harris emerge as the Democratic nominee without a primary and President-elect Donald Trump survive a pair of assassination attempts. All of that occurred ahead of November's election, which ended with Trump's decisive victory over Harris.

The election-related chaos happened as wars in the Middle East and Ukraine continued, college campuses erupted with anti-Israel protests and everyone from Hunter Biden to alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione dominated news cycles.

Along the way, Fox News Digital secured a staggering 41 billion total multiplatform minutes to grow 11% compared to 2023. CNN settled for 23 billion total multiplatform minutes, dropping 3% from 2023.

Fox News Digital also delivered 21.1 billion total multiplatform views, up 5% compared to 2023. The New York Times managed 18.8 billion total multiplatform views and CNN had 14.2 billion.

Fox News Digital topped a list of news brands including CNN, The New York Times, CBS News, NBC News, Washington Post, ABC News, USA Today and Insider, among others.

Yeah, well, you know.

People are stupid.

This is a thread celebrating that fact. Lack of self awareness results in no embarrassment of posting that your opinion is supported by the least educated states’ voting majorities and by the wealthiest donors to the GOP. who herd the votes of the least educated using the Southern Strategy.

Really? It is MY country they are destroying with misinformation.

Seems very patriot to me.

I'm also old enough to remember having watched Santa Barbara.

Critical thinking easily tells us what news outlets are news.
We should all learn this in school.
Sadly we don't and few take the time to learn on their own.

I'm also old enough to remember having watched Santa Barbara.

When I was living in Ukraine, I discovered that it was massively popular in russia and Ukraine during the 90s. Santa Barbara, the movie Home Alone, and Alf, if you can believe it.

One russian language chat partner I used to practice with said that when she finally visited America, she went straight to Santa Barbara. Upon arriving, she thought, I've made it, I've really made it.

I guess it made America look glorious.

You learned how to think in school?

Yeah, well, you know.

People are stupid.

What group of people are you saying are stupid?

 

[Yakshi]

You learned how to think in school?

You didn't know that critical thinking is developed in schools?

 

[Yakshi]

What group of people are you saying are stupid?

Close your eyes and repeat her question.

See the people that pop up in your head?

Those people.

You didn't know that critical thinking is developed in schools?

No I didn't. I was born with a functioning brain that was already thinking at birth. Life experiences teach critical thinking, not a radical loony college professor.

It's not on me to define that group. I wasn't the one who was talking out of my ass.

 

[Yakshi]

No I didn't. I was born with a functioning brain that was already thinking at birth. Life experiences teach critical thinking, not a radical loony college professor.

So, you made fundamental mistakes early on in life.

That's too bad.

 

[Yakshi]

It's not on me to define that group. I wasn't the one who was talking out of my ass.

You take the posts as they come. It's not on anyone to define that group, either.

It's unfortunate that your critical thinking has led you to believe that your internal rules apply to everyone else.

Perhaps more schooling would have helped with that thinking error.
