Fox News hemorrhaging viewers to further right wing outlets.

Traffic to Most Conservative Website Sags in August, While Newsmax Posts Third Straight Month of Gains https://www.therighting.com/august-2...ative-websites September 29, 2021, New York, NY – While almost all major conservative news websites experienced audience declines in August, Newsmax posted its third straight month of year-over-year (YOY) traffic increases according to TheRighting’s exclusive analysis of August 2021 mobile and desktop traffic based on Comscore data. Newsmax attracted 6,067,000 unique visitors in August 2021, up 72% from August 2020 when it drew 3,522,000 unique visitors. The Epoch Times was the only other conservative news outlet that increased its YOY audience in August in TheRighting’s top 20.

Seems Pandora's box is well and truly open. While Fox is still by far the largest right wing outlet, they are steadily losing viewers as more extreme right wing outlets provide the extremist content that the right wing American audience demands.

Fox will have little choice going forward but to either increasingly radicalize with their content or see more and more of their audience lose interest. Tucker Carlson's (the most popular pundit on the network) increasingly overt fascist and ethno-nationalist rhetoric shows where the future of right wing media and politics lay.

ETA: Also noteworthy that once-influential "mainstream" conservative outlets like "The National Review" are faring extremely poorly.
