In the key demographic (25-54) the audience numbers on Fox are down incredibly. Like two thirds in the 8 pm hour and about half in the Jesse, Hannity and Laura hours. Overall it looks like half their audience are gone. For firing Tucker.

Tim adds:

The purpose of Fox, the reason the Ruling Class didn't crush them, was that they offered a safety valve for the American People, a way to let us blow off steam. When we grew enraged we could turn on Fox and think that maybe things weren't all that bad. But now? Carlson did the unacceptable; he pointed out that the Ruling Class simply vetoed the American People when it our votes were inconvenient. That cannot be allowed. Fox was no longer acting as a safety valve but was instrumental in promoting anger at the elites and the corrupt system.

So they sacked Carlson and Bongino, to get back into the good graces of the real rulers of this country. Fox will never stray beyond certain constraints. They are tolerated as long as they color inside the lines. That is why Fox will never actually accomplish anything of value for America. It is a show channel, there precisely to promote the illusion that we have balance and that all voices are heard. They are not and now Fox has had to tip their hand. (BTW Remember when they fired Roger Ailes, who WAS conservative. He had to go to make Fox into the Royal Crown Cola of news networks.)
