Fox News Continues to Dominate Cable News Ratings, Hannity on Top

sean hannity ratings

Sean Hannity won’t be beaten that easily.

After weeks of scandal, it looks like the Fox News anchor most closely connected with President Trump isn’t having his ratings affected by the negative media coverage.

Just two weeks ago, we learned that Hannity was the third client of Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen. This led to a lot of gossipy speculation that, because Cohen has been hired as a fixer in scandalous cases involving marital infidelity, perhaps Hannity was paying hush money to a mistress. These rumors were found to be untrue, and Fox News issued a statement of support for Hannity. However, that didn’t stop some of Hannity’s colleagues from chastising the host, saying he was trying to have it both ways by asking Cohen for legal advice and maintaining he was never an official client.

Hannity claimed that he had contacted Cohen about possible legal routes to take after a liberal boycott of his show was announced. That should have been the end of the controversy, but just yesterday we learned that Hannity has made millions from a real-estate venture that has earned him tens of millions of dollars. Many of these properties are held by shell companies, which has raised some red flags.

But with all this controversy surrounding Hannity, how has his hit Fox News show performed? Well, the ratings just came in, and it looks like Hannity is again #1!

From Adweek:

As you can see, Hannity beats them all. As Adweek reported: “Fox News dominated the competition across total day and in prime time. Sean Hannity had the top show of the night. MSNBC finished No. 2 in prime time, but CNN finished No. 2 in the demo through 7 p.m.”

Interestingly, Laura Ingraham also had a respectable showing with her Fox News show despite the recent boycott of her advertisers engineered by gun-control activist David Hogg.

Try as they might, liberals can’t bring Fox News down.

  1. Hannity is an advisory client of Cohen on real estate investment. Cohen is an attorney whose job was to defend Donald Trump from lengthy and costly litigation which is ALWAYS by settlement. The woman who extracted money from a vulnerable political client than turned around and excepted a 7 million dollar bribe from the Clintons to publicly slander the individual she had settled with is guilty of several serious felonies at this point.
    The real criminals are the courts and ignorant american people who are so stupid that many are dying because they forget to breathe. The culprit here is the Federal Department of Injustice coluding with a prostitute in criminal conspiracy to subvert justice. They should all be charged, indicted, convicted and given lenghty prison sentences, stripped of their citizenship and deported from our shores after serving their time. JR

  5. Why does anyone question his R/E investments, outside of his business of hosting a show? Many people run businesses, are employed, retired & have investments in R/E & other ventures that make them money. We are in a Capitalistic country. His rights are protected by our Constitution, unless you are a progress liberal & you want to tear down our country, that our Founders so greatly created for us. Then you do not believe in our Constitution, how sad.

  8. My question is how in God’s name does Maddow and O’Donnell get ratings , Wikileaks has proven that those two and those particular networks NEVER EVER tell the truth .

    Wikileaks has shown CNN,MSNBC,CBS,ABC,NBC etc….. to be the biggest liars in existence .

  11. the left constantly looks for excrement to throw on the wall, hoping something will stick. we’ll drive off that bridge when we get to it. get it Dummycrats?

  12. Using separate LLC;s for each holding is routine business. It protects each entity in the event of a lawsuit. If you slip and fall on property A, you can sue only that property. Not properties A through Z. Common business practice. Been done for generations. Makes perfect sense.
