Newsmax: Fox News Loses Touch as Ratings Decline, Beth Ailes Claims
According to Elizabeth “Beth” Ailes, the wife of the late Roger Ailes, the decline in ratings for Fox News’ recent Republican debate can be attributed to four factors: Tucker Carlson’s firing, a lack of trust in the network, a decline in talent, and former President Donald Trump’s absence. Ailes suggested that Fox’s owners, the Murdoch family, are out of touch with the network’s audience and lack the love of country that comes from being born in the United States. She also mentioned that Fox has suffered from a lack of leadership since her husband’s departure in 2016. Ailes believes that the audience has left Fox News for networks like Newsmax, which she considers more interesting and diverse in terms of programming.
