Ex-Fox News star Eric Bolling put CNN and his old bosses at Fox News on notice by beating Anderson Cooper in primetime for the second night in a row. Newsmax beat CNN at 8 p.m. for the second evening in a row on Wednesday.
Bolling brought in 587,000 total viewers to Cooper’s 562,000. Bolling’s ratings have been on the rise since Fox News fired Tucker Carlson.
Bolling said about Fox News: “So now Fox is desperate. Window dressing by moving hosts around. Shuffling them around like deck chairs on the Titanic.
“But it won’t work. Americans won’t buy it.”
Glenn Beck said:
“Fox News when I left was very healthy. Fox News, when Megyn left, was healthy.
“When O’Reilly left, it was still healthy, but it needed a star.
“They found Tucker.
“He clicked with the audience; he worked with the audience.
“Now I think that’s their last straw because they watched Fox over the years and have seen, you know, you are not the Fox of Roger Ailes that used to actually care about the center of the country.”
