Ex-Fox News star Megyn Kelly humiliated her former network over the abrupt firing of star Tucker Carlson and the ratings crash that came after it. Kelly has been hammering Fox for the shocking ratings decline the network has seen since removing Carlson.
Fox News Channel’s primetime viewership in its first week without Carlson took a huge hit, as Slay News reported earlier.
The viewer numbers dropped 29.6% from the previous week.
For the last few years, Fox News has dominated cable.
The network has shattered record after record and routinely delivers 90 of the top 100 shows on cable.
But that is changing after the shocking firing of star Carlson.
This is not just for Carlson’s timeslot but for the entire slate.
Tyler Carditis, CEO of the Blaze, said: “Since firing Tucker Carlson, Fox News Channel’s ratings in the all-important 25-54 demo have fallen off a cliff.”

And Fox News is now losing the primetime ratings battle with Fake News MSNBC some nights.
Fox News brought in 1.598 million total viewers and 164,000 demo viewers Monday during primetime.
But Fake News MSNBC had 1.693 million total viewers and 176,000 demo viewers.
And Tuesday’s numbers were not much better.
Enter Megyn Kelly, who gave the network a hilarious new nickname: “My audience is calling them Foxweiser”
