Fox News star Tucker Carlson’s ratings past two weeks have been soaring after special counsel Robert Mueller’s report blasted the mainstream media — and the Fox News star shows no signs of slowing down.
Radical left CNN and MSNBC stars are so far behind they’re nearly nonexistent — and Carlson even trumped a hyped-up event by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by nearly a million viewers.
Carlson’s latest domination came at the expense of Ocasio-Cortez’s Friday night’s town hall with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. Carlson nabbed over a million more eyes than the New York socialist and far-left superstar. He had 2,656,000 viewers that night, compared to MSNBC’s 1,568,000.
Most notably during the event, Ocasio-Cortez was caught wrongly claiming that the 22nd Amendment was a Republican attempt to thwart Franklin D. Roosevelt from getting reelected, as the oblivious audience nodded in agreement.
The 22nd Amendment was passed two years after the death of Roosevelt, and was largely a bipartisan effort.
According to AOC, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected:
"They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected."

Not only did Carlson pummel Ocasio-Cortez in the ratings, he had a few words for the freshman congresswoman as well.
“So, it’s official,” Carlson said. “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a moron and nasty and more self-righteous than any televangelist who ever preached a sermon on cable access. She is not impressive. She’s awful.”
Carlson was responseding to Ocasio-Cortez’ false claim that the Tea Party was xenophobic and an expression of white supremacy.
Carlson didn’t finish there either. He attacked journalist and town hall host Chris Hayes, who “moderated” the event, which critics called a political pep-rally. Hayes, for example, asked viewers to give into Ocasio-Cortez and her $92 trillion climate change demands before the interview even began.
Carlson called him out.
“Chris Hayes is what every man would be if feminists ever achieve absolute power in this country — apologetic, bespectacled and deeply, deeply concerned about global warming and the patriarchal systems that cause it,” he said.
Friday capped off what was Carlson’s week-long demolition of mainstream media. It wasn’t just MSNBC he was beating soundly, either.
From March 25th to March 29th Carlson’s primetime show garnered more TOTAL views than all three primetime CNN shows… combined! Carlson skyrocketed to 3,475,000 viewers over five days while Anderson Cooper (810,000 viewers), Chris Cuomo (875,000 viewers), and Don Lemon (789,000 viewers) combined had a million less viewerss, according to Daily Wire.
With a heaping help of nothingburger found from the Mueller report, it seems America has finally lost trust in the liberal media.
But what’s a lopsided loss with an excuse?
First it was Brian Stetler, darling of CNN, who claimed that the dip in ratings has been because of the lack of news.
Then it was CNN, which tried to divert attention away from the crushing loss by mentioning that Tucker Carlson’s ads were lesser-known than their advertisers.
Over the last month, Tucker Carlson's commercial breaks have had only a smattering of ads from lesser-known brands. It might be a new normal for the Fox News host, who has endured ad boycott campaigns since he made racist remarks on immigrants in December. https://t.co/Ac9sfcYiaS pic.twitter.com/O9GNUKxmyr

The liberal media wasted two years of viewer’s lives covering a hoax that never paid off. Now they’re paying for their empty promises and lies.
The mainstream news’ damage control is off to a horrible start.
