Liz Cheney (R-WY) leadership vote and the \u201ccivil war\u201d in the Republican Party put MSNBC\u2019s viewership on a downward slide last week, according to the latest Nielsen ratings.<\/p>\n<p>Just one MSNBC show broke into the top five programs on basic cable last week, \u201cThe Rachel Maddow Show,\u201d which rated number four.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the top five shows belonged to Fox News: \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight,\u201d \u201cThe Five,\u201d \u201cHannity,\u201d and \u201cThe Ingraham Angle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although MSNBC finished the week of May 10 as the number two network in basic cable, its prime time audience shrunk by 15,000 viewers, and its all day viewership declined by 17,000 compared to the previous week. The left-wing network also shed 8,000 viewers between the ages of 25 and 54, the age group coveted by advertisers for its disposable income.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/can-partisanship-and-profanity-save-cnn-from-its-ratings-collapse\">Ratings-starved CNN<\/a> gained a mere 1%, enough to rank fourth on basic cable behind Fox News, MSNBC, and the home improvement and real estate network HGTV.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News Channel, meanwhile, continued its briefly interrupted domination of cable news in a stronger position than the previous week.<\/p>\n<p>After seeing its 19-year-long reign as the top-rated cable news network come to an end on January 6, Fox has returned to the top spot in cable news for the last 13 straight weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News\u2019 prime time viewership crept upward from 2.2 million to 2.3 million last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adweek.com\/tvnewser\/week-of-may-10-cable-network-ranker-fox-news-remains-no-1-grows-audience-week-to-week\/478674\/\">according<\/a> to Adweek\u2019s TV Newser.<\/p>\n<p>FNC also saw its grip on the 25-54 demographic increase to 369,000 viewers last week, up from 343,000 during the week of May 3.<\/p>\n<p>Cable\u2019s most popular show, \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight,\u201d saw its audience grow to 3.2 million people. That represents a gain of 300,000 people over the previous week, and 62,000 among the most coveted demographic.<\/p>\n<p>While MSNBC and CNN focused endlessly on the Cheney drama and news about the January 6 Capitol riots, Tucker Carlson reported on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/transcript\/tucker-americans-deserve-to-know-the-real-number-of-migrants-here\">immigration<\/a> \u2014 a subject <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jen-psaki-says-americans-only-think-theres-a-border-crisis-because-of-the-media\">43%<\/a> of Americans say the media have not spent enough time covering, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.journalism.org\/2021\/04\/28\/at-100-day-mark-coverage-of-biden-has-been-slightly-more-negative-than-positive-varied-greatly-by-outlet-type\/\">recent<\/a> Pew Research Center poll \u2014 as well as President Joe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/transcript\/tucker-bidens-making-a-mess-of-us-economy\">Biden<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cnn-talked-about-liz-cheney-four-times-more-than-the-israel-hamas-conflict\">tanking economy<\/a>, the return of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/tucker-carlson-the-white-house-approves-gasoline-shortage-its-their-green-new-deal\">lines at gas stations<\/a>, and parents outraged by sexually explicit materials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/tucker-carlson-in-some-schools-to-kill-a-mockingbird-is-out-sexual-propaganda-is-in\">replacing<\/a> the classics in public school curricula.<\/p>\n<p>The late-night Fox News comedy-commentary show \u201cGutfeld\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/media\/554203-fox-news-late-night-show-gutfeld-nears-top-of-ratings-race?rl=1\">won<\/a> its time slot last week with 1.6 million viewers \u2014 more than network \u201ccomedy\u201d shows like \u201cThe Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon\u201d and \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox\u2019s winning streak continued into the weekend, as CNN\u2019s \u201cReliable Sources\u201d with Brian Stelter drew less than half the viewership of Fox News\u2019 \u201cMediaBuzz,\u201d which focuses on media bias.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChubby Checker\u2019s 1963 hit \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E5n07HkcSP4\">How Low Can You Go?<\/a>\u2019 was about the limbo, but it could double as Stelter\u2019s theme music these days,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/cnn-brian-stelter-hits-another-low-fox-news-thrives\">remarked<\/a> a clearly satisfied Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>MSNBC rebounded a bit on Monday, as Nicolle Wallace\u2019s \u201cDeadline: White House\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/premium\/msnbcs-nicolle-wallace-tops-jake-tapper-sandra-smith-at-4-p-m-in-monday-ratings-fox-news-sweeps-dayparts\">won<\/a> the 4 p.m. (Eastern) time slot; otherwise, Fox won every cable match-up of the day.<\/p>\n<p>The ratings of all cable news shows have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/4-reasons-media-ratings-have-plunged-since-joe-bidens-inauguration\">dropped precipitously<\/a> since President Donald Trump left office, but MSNBC and CNN have found themselves hardest hit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBit by bit, the Trump gold rush slowed to a trickle, and people began to break their cable news addictions,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/news\/2021\/05\/can-cable-news-pass-the-post-trump-test\">reports<\/a> Joe Pompeo in the June issue of Vanity Fair. \u201cThere were, after all, plenty of other things to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo quotes Variety magazine\u2019s analysis that \u201cthe left-leaning networks will have to rely on politicians making the occasional gaffe and just get used to the post-Trump slump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Or they could correct the story selection, tone, and bias that have a growing number of Americans tuning them out.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
