Ex-Fox News star warned Rupert Murdoch about the future of Fox News after the ratings tanked after he fired star host Tucker Carlson. Kelly thinks the decision to part ways is backfiring like Bud Light’s disastrous marketing stunt.
Ex-CNN media critic Brian Stelter broke down the bad news for Rupert Murdoch and Fox News: “Tuesday’s ratings showcase the new normal for Fox without Tucker: 5pm: 2.72 million viewers. 6pm: 1.89 mil. 7pm: 2.04 mil. 8pm: 1.48 mil. 9pm: 1.91 mil. 10pm: 1.67 mil. Tucker averaged 3 mil at 8pm. So that hour has been cut in half. And the later hours have lost at least a quarter.”

Megyn Kelly said: “Bloodbath. Not even Bud Lite (which is currently giving away its beer in an effort to get ppl to pls pls drink it) lost this much of its customer base.”
