Trump Jump: Fox News Hits Record Viewership for President's First 100 Days

In his first 100 days in office, President Donald Trump's frequent criticisms of the media and his labeling of certain outlets as "fake news" have significantly impacted television news ratings, particularly boosting Fox News. According to a report by TheWrap, Fox News saw a substantial increase in viewership during this period, with prime-time shows like "Tucker Carlson Tonight," "Hannity," and "The O'Reilly Factor" experiencing significant gains. The network's total day viewership also rose, with Fox News averaging 1.5 million viewers compared to MSNBC's 800,000 and CNN's 700,000. Trump's frequent appearances and mentions on Fox News, as well as his tendency to engage with the network's hosts and commentators, have contributed to its ratings success. Meanwhile, other networks like CNN and MSNBC have also seen increases in viewership, though not to the same extent as Fox News, as the public's interest in political news and the Trump administration's actions continues to drive viewership across the board.
