The Fallout from Tucker Carlson's Departure Reveals Fox News' Vulnerability.
TL;DR Summary
Fox News saw a notable dip in ratings on Monday evening after firing its most popular host, Tucker Carlson, and replacing him with Brian Kilmeade. Meanwhile, smaller right-wing network Newsmax saw a dramatic audience swell, with its numbers exploding in the hours following Carlson's ouster. The numbers suggest that some of Carlson's audience migrated over to Newsmax to sample the competitor's showing. This is cause for alarm for Fox News, as it reveals a potential viewer exodus similar to the one that occurred after the 2020 election.
