It&#8217;s true!<\/p>\n<p>Just like a marriage, running a news network can benefit from small mistakes as learning opportunities and moments of innovation. However, both marriage and running a news network can seldom afford very many big mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>And just like the kind of divorce that too many big mistakes in a marriage can lead to, the divorce between Tucker Carlson and Fox News appears to be a cataclysmic mistake \u2014 but not for Carlson.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s well-worn territory at this point that Fox News\u2019 unceremonious and still-unexplained ouster of Carlson in late April was bad for the news titan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Angry fans left in droves as calls to boycott the network intensified. Even fans who were on the fence about the whole thing soured on Fox\u2019s lack of transparency.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been bad enough where CNN and MSNBC, two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-may-be-in-the-chopping-block-execs-axe-all-external-marketing-report\/\" title=\"CNN+ May Be In The Chopping Block - Execs Axe \u2018All External Marketing\u2019: Report\">rival news networks<\/a> that Fox News has historically trounced, have earned some big ratings wins against Fox.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s clear that when Carlson departed, he took droves of viewers with him.<\/p>\n<h3>Where Did the Viewers Go?<\/h3>\n<p>According to a new Mediaite report, in the four weeks leading up to Carlson\u2019s unexpected firing, Fox News\u2019 \u201cprime time\u201d block of 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. averaged 2.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oscars-ratings-crumble-nearly-60-to-record-low-as-stars-bash-law-enforcement\/\" title=\"Oscars Ratings Crumble Nearly 60% To Record Low As Stars Bash Law Enforcement\">6 million total viewers<\/a>. The four weeks after Carlson\u2019s disappearance? 1.6 million total viewers, a stark nine-figure drop.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News assuredly banked on many of those same viewers to gravitate towards other, more fledgling conservative news networks. That way, it would be easy to pull those fans back from within the same ecosphere when they figure out however it is that they plan to sell their new Carlson-less prime time block.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, the report notes that Newsmax, perhaps Fox\u2019s closest competitor in terms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/500-preservation-letters-sent-for-investigations-by-gop\/\" title=\"500 \"Preservation letters\" Sent for Investigations by GOP\">conservative-leaning media<\/a>, has benefited some since Carlson left Fox.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>While an impressive figure, Newsmax is still far behind Fox News in terms of ratings. Fox News\u2019 diminished 1.6 million viewers is still degrees above Newsmax\u2019s boosted 383,000 viewers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While there undoubtedly are Carlson supporters who have ditched Fox for Newsmax, those above numbers indicate that many more Carlson supporters simply stopped consuming broadcast news altogether when he left the airwaves.<\/p>\n<p>And that means Fox News\u2019 already colossal blunder might be an even bigger mistake than previously thought.<\/p>\n<h3>Carlson is the Content that Conservatives Crave<\/h3>\n<p>Because the numbers don\u2019t lie here; Carlson is a force when it comes to conservative media.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News was banking on Carlson simply being a popular vessel through which they could bring you (their preapproved) content that you so crave.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Instead, the numbers are saying that Carlson was the content that conservatives craved.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And to be clear, both marriages and news networks can survive a few big mistakes. As for cataclysmic blunders? That\u2019s to be determined, but it\u2019s not looking good for Fox News.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apparently, the same principles that can help govern a healthy marriage are the same principles that can help govern running a multi-billion dollar cable news network.<\/li>\n<li>A marriage can actually benefit from a number of small mistakes, as both learning opportunities and (for the particularly small mistakes) as saucy anecdotes or mirthful memories.<\/li>\n<li>A news network can benefit from a number of small mistakes, similarly as learning opportunities, but also as catalysts for innovation or moments of virality.<\/li>\n<li>Both marriage and running a news network, however, can seldom afford very many big mistakes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fox-news-made-huge-mistake-one-million-people-stopped-watching-since-tuckers-ouster\/\">Fox News Made a Huge Mistake: Over One Million People Have Stopped Watching Since Tucker&#8217;s Ouster<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>network can also benefit from learning from mistakes and using them as opportunities for growth and improvement.
