MRC Research Exposes How FoxNews.com Passed CNN.com in Web Traffic Without Big Tech Help
FoxNews.com passed CNN.com in monthly U.S. web traffic for the first time since the tracking began, drawing 222.1 million visits compared to 220.5 million for CNN.
CNN lost its exclusive Apple News distribution deal nine months ago, causing its web traffic to drop 32 percent year over year.
Fox News achieved the top spot in web traffic despite receiving very little content distribution from major tech aggregators like Apple News.
The shift mirrors the cable news wars of 2002, proving that conservative media succeeds when the Big 3 News Apps stops favoring left wing outlets.
MRC Exposes Network Silence on the Federal Indictment of the SPLC's Former CFO
ABC, CBS, and NBC completely ignored the federal indictment of former Southern Poverty Law Center CFO Heidi Beirich on their evening newscasts.
Beirich was charged with helping funnel over one million dollars in donor funds to a confidential informant to infiltrate a neo-Nazi organization.
Federal authorities revealed that Beirich was in a romantic relationship with the confidential informant who received the funneled donor funds.
Major networks chose to prioritize frivolous pop culture stories over covering the expanding federal prosecution of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Karoline Leavitt announced her departure as White House Press Secretary to spend time with her young family while remaining a top advisor to Donald Trump.
Leavitt democratized the Brady Briefing Room by creating a new media seat for independent journalists, influencers, and bloggers.
The White House Communications Office took over press pool assignments from the WHCA and expanded access to outlets like Newsmax and NewsNation.
Leavitt consistently held legacy media accountable by calling out journalists directly from the podium for biased reporting and misconduct.
MRC Calls Out Broadcast Networks for Shielding Far Left Candidates Until Election Defeats
ABC, CBS, and NBC used soft labels like progressive and socialist rather than far left during primary election coverage.
ABC and CBS hid the radical positions of Democratic socialist Francesca Hong until after she lost the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary.
Networks only revealed after her loss that Hong had previously called to defund the police, abolish ICE, and cancel Thanksgiving.
Coverage of primary races consistently framed corporate establishment candidates as moderates to obscure the broader leftward shift of the Democratic party.
