Fox News Takes Massive Ratings Hit As It Triples Down on Pro-Data Center Coverage
"Just in case there were any dummies who thought Fox News cares what voters want." The post Fox News Takes Massive Ratings Hit As It Triples Down on Pro-Data Center Coverage appeared first on Futurism .
Fox News is experiencing a massive ratings decline after embracing pro-data center coverage, aligning itself with the AI industry's narrative. A 420 percent surge in positive data center coverage occurred across Fox News in the past two months, with 203 pro-data center claims between August 19 and September 2, compared to just 39 from August 5 through August 18.
This shift coincides with Republican opposition to data centers, driven by grassroots movements against what critics label as "far-left activists" and Chinese government propaganda. Fox News' most loyal viewers have become increasingly disgusted, with one YouTube commenter accusing the network of prioritizing corporate interests over conservative supporters.
Viewership of Fox News has plummeted by 27 percent in October, falling to an average of 1.1 million total viewers, a 16 percent decline compared to the previous three months. The decline is particularly pronounced among the 24 to 54 age demographic, which is crucial for political engagement. This trend may have significant implications for Republican success in the upcoming midterm elections, as President Trump's handling of the economy and the costly war on Iran are increasingly unpopular among voters.
