Fox News, the once mighty voice of Republicans everywhere, has hit a major roadblock since parting ways with the beloved Tucker Carlson. It seems their streaming service, Fox Nation, is feeling the brunt of the loss. Reports say it’s basically in shambles without good ol’ Tucker to draw in the viewers.

Not only did Fox Nation have to deal with a whopping $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, but they also had to say goodbye to a large number of subscribers when Carlson left. Talk about a double whammy! An insider at the network spilled the beans, saying that Fox Nation is on life support and they’re slashing it back like an overgrown hedge.
Rupert Murdoch’s son, Lachlan Murdoch, was crowing just a few months ago about how Fox Nation was growing like a weed, with more subscribers and record engagement. But oh, how the mighty have fallen! Fast forward to May, and the network is reporting a quarterly loss. How embarrassing! They’ve gone from the top of the mountain to stumbling down the slope like a bumbling hiker.
You see, loyal fans of Tucker Carlson were so upset by his departure that they vowed to boycott Fox News altogether. And it seems they stuck to their word. The viewership numbers for the network took a nosedive without their beloved host. Meanwhile, Carlson’s new Twitter show is skyrocketing with millions of viewers. It’s like watching a burnt-out car crash while a sleek new sports car zooms by.
To add insult to injury, nine staff members who used to work with Carlson at Fox decided to hop onto his Twitter show, leaving the network with a skeleton crew. It’s like watching your best friends pack up and leave you all alone at the lunch table. Ouch!
In an attempt to salvage what’s left of the sinking ship, Fox News announced some programming changes. Laura Ingraham will now start off the primetime block, followed by Jesse Watters. It’s like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, trying to make it look like everything’s fine when we all know it’s sinking fast.
While Sean Hannity and Greg Gutfeld will remain in their time slots, the network is shifting everything around in a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding. But let’s be real here, rearranging the furniture won’t make the house any less haunted. Trace Gallagher’s show will even be pushed back an hour, because why not? Might as well shuffle everything around while the whole place is falling apart.
It’s a sad state of affairs over at Fox News. They had it all, but now they’re left with a mere shell of their former glory. Maybe they should take a page out of Tucker Carlson’s book and find a new path. One thing’s for sure, though – conservatives everywhere will miss Tucker’s sharp wit and unwavering dedication to his beliefs.
