New York | Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News has captured nearly three-quarters of all US cable news audiences in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election victory, as liberal Americans tune out of the former reality star’s transition to a second term in office.
Fox’s daily audiences have surged 40 per cent since the November 5 vote, while viewership of the more left-leaning MSNBC and CNN have dropped 38 per cent and 27 per cent respectively, according to Nielsen figures.
