Donald Trump Criticizes Fox News Amid Declining Viewership and GOP Midterm Losses
Former President Donald Trump used Truth Social to blame Fox News for Republican losses during the midterm elections, alleging the network's coverage contributed to a decline in viewership. Trump specifically cited a 27% drop in ratings as evidence of the network's failure to support his party. Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch attributed the viewership decline to 'viewer fatigue' rather than audience migration to competitors like MS NOW or CNN, which both saw double-digit growth in October. Despite the dip in average viewers, Fox Corp. reported a strong fiscal first quarter with revenue rising 22% year-over-year to $4.57 billion, driven largely by a 47% surge in advertising revenue.
