Former Fox News host Eric Bolling didn’t hold back when speaking about the network on Monday, claiming that staffers there told him they are worried in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.
Bolling, now a Sinclair TV host, spoke to a throng of young Republicans at Turning Point USA’s annual Student Action Summit on Monday.

The former Fox News host went on to explain the rise of networks like Newsmax and OAN, both of which experienced a ratings surge in the aftermath of the 2020 election, as Fox News called first Arizona and then the presidency for Joe Biden. Bolling said some Fox News hosts are worried about a loss of viewers to conservative rivals.
“Here’s what happened guys, let’s be honest with you, I can talk about this, Donald Trump on November 3rd — Fox declared Biden the winner in Arizona. MAGA-world went ballistic, they said ‘I’m not watching Fox News,’ they switched over and they looked and they found Newsmax,” Bolling said.
“Fox lost about 40% of their audience. 40 percent. That’s a big number,” Bolling continued, a statement that sparked roaring applause from the audience of young conservatives.
“I have friends still there that say they are very, very nervous about it, they’re sucking wind on it and they don’t know how to turn it around,” Bolling said.

If you watch ANYTHING on Fox, you’re helping pay Chris Wallace’s salary.
Maybe you can live with that on your conscience. I couldnt.
Too bad for them.
“Fox News hosts wield enormous influence, have a massive audience, and make a lot of money.”

Just like politicians, it’s all about money & power. No place for “fair, balanced” and the TRUTH. I hope the FOX folks are ‘worried sick’, but I doubt it.
Hope they are looking elsewhere. Murdochs don’t care about the people at Fox. Only themselves.
That needs to be on billboards all over the country. Newsmax and Americas voice from now on.
FoxNews, like NFL and other sports, will not feel the pinch until advertisers begin demanding new rates based on the decline in viewership.
That is when the hurt really comes for them.
Tuff titties said the kitties.
I stopped watching Fox as soon as they called Virginia 2 minutes after the polls closed. I knew the fix was in immediately. For grins, I switched over the CNN...they were actually not half as bad AT THAT POINT as what Fox was doing.
I will never watch them again. Newsmax for me.
It won’t just be Fox. Twitter is about to get really boring as well. Won’t be surprised if they quietly unsuspend all the accounts they blocked during the Trump years.
Karma for hiring and obeying Paul Ryan.
screw Fox
If Biden is allowed to steal this election, I'm done with politics. I am never voting or contributing to a candidate again and will close my FR account.
