Fux Noise got crushed in the Inauguration Day ratings, falling 77% from 2017

During the meat and potatoes of President Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony, Fox News's ratings fell by 77% compared to Donald Trump's in 2017, according to Nielsen.

The preliminary numbers from Nielsen don't paint the full picture, however.

Biden's inauguration slightly outperformed Trump's by 4% or 1 million viewers, according to the initial batch of ratings from Nielsen. A full count is expected to be released on Monday.

Part of why the Fox News dropoff appears so steep on a percentage basis is because the network broke the record for most inauguration viewers on a single channel back in 2017, averaging 10.5 million viewers.

I didn't watch any of Trump's inauguration but I imagine the Fux Noise coverage was a virtual ass kiss fest.

I taught Science, but i know that Social Study Teachers were not allowed to show Obama's Inauguration because the RW press had them believing these black folk are likely to do something untoward.
