Stelter: It Pisses Me off that Fox News Viewers Didn’t Want to See Capitol Hill Officers Testify

‘When Fox and Newsmax aired the hearings, viewers didn’t want to see it’

EXCERPT:

STELTER: "If you want to understand the American divide, just look at the Nielsen ratings. Look at the ratings for the January 6 hearing when police officers testified about the attack and the violence. The red line is the Fox News audience. Fox News ratings fell in half. The CNN and MSNBC's audience obviously rose because there was a big news story, a big news event, so Fox viewers turned the channel, they turned it off, they did not want to hear about the police officers being attacked, brutalized and called those words. Back with me is Jared Holt and Anne Applebaum. I'm sorry, it pisses me off, you know, to see we’re in this country where you've got these right-wing channels, even when they air the hearings — and by the way, One America News acted like the hearing wasn’t even happening — when Fox and Newsmax aired the hearings, viewers didn’t want to see it.”
