I believe you are correct here. The same has happened to CNN, MSNBC and other cable channels during the elections while the viewership of FOX is now larger than CNN and MSNBC combined.

What is particularly interesting is that Hannity is now beating everyone else in ratings and he is probably the most unapologetic Trump supporter.

Seems like people punish media that is pushing HRC.

Hannity's an entertainer, not an analyst. The ratings are from the political entertainment industry feeding off of people's darkest fears and pumping them full of imaginary outrage so they can feed off of them some more. It's not pretty, and is actually pretty shameful and embarrassing for our country that this is what we've sunken to as a nation.

Everyone who wants to be on TV has to be an entertainer, otherwise he/she has no business being on television and should instead write papers and books.

The rest is just your opinion, which you are obviously entitled to. I happen to disagree and I think most would too, otherwise he wouldn't have that kind of viewership.
