After Fox News prematurely called Arizona for Joe Biden in the 2020 election, conservatives fled the network in droves.
Millions of angry viewers that voted for President Donald Trump vowed to boycott the network.
Conservative rival networks like NewsmaxTV, The 700 Club, and One America News Network each saw significant ratings boost in the weeks that followed.
But are they already collapsing?
In the face of threat over election fraud controversies and lawsuits Newsmax, One America News Network, and The 700 Club have all suddenly shifted course — and critics have attacked the news organizations for “rolling over and showing [their] belly” like Fox News.
Newsmax had a statement they repeatedly played on the station denying their previous election allegations —

On The 700 Club, Televangelist and longtime host Pat Robertson suddenly shifted his tone on Monday.
After imploring Trump to fight the election results for weeks, Robertson suddenly said Trump “lives in an alternate reality” and told the President, “You’ve had your day and it’s time to move on.”
“With all his talent and the ability to raise money and grow large crowds, the president still lives in an alternate reality,” Robertson said in a blistering attack.
“He really does. People say, ‘Well, he lies about this, that, and the other.’ No, he isn’t lying. To him, that’s the truth.”
Here’s what Robertson was saying just last week:
Pat Robertson is telling somebody else (Trump) to sit down because they’ve “had their day”. Once you’ve moved past that piece of irony, read what Pat Robertson was saying just 1 week ago: https://t.co/hGZHLxJyfF pic.twitter.com/LcQNNczSbS

And growing reports claim that One America News Network has recently “gone above and beyond to quietly censor their own content” in the face of external pressure.
“Could OANN be scrubbing their site for content that could be considered negative for the Chinese President?” New Liberty Times asked on Sunday. “What about articles concerning Jeffrey Epstein that have disappeared?” The website also accused the news network’s owner of being a longtime Clinton donor… and more.
If Fox News viewers were expecting a different kind of news from alternative conservative media like NewsmaxTV and The 700 Club, they got a rude surprise this week.
But don’t take our word for it.
