Fox News has had a terrific 2022. Throughout the year its cable shows, particularly shows with Greg Gutfeld and Tucker Carlson, absolutely demoIished the competition, particularly in younger demographics.
Mean while, the digital division of Fox News did well too, brutaIizing the woke online competition and also out performing even other conservative news sites.
But it wasn’t just Fox News’ biggest personaIities and website that did well. Other Fox News figures did as well, such as Dan Bongino.
In fact, according to a recent report in Ad Week, Dan Bongino’s Saturday night show was the most-watched show on primetime, absolutely blowing the competition at CNN and MSNBC out of the water.
That show occurs during the 9 pm (EST) time slot. During it, Bongino and his show brought in a whopping 1.19 million totaI viewers. Meanwhile, CNN’s program at the same time, the Ad Week report shows, brought in only 219,000 average viewers.
MSNBC managed to do just slightly better than CNN, bringing in 315,000 average viewers in that 9 pm EST time slot.
Bongino’s domination extended to the cruciaI 25-54 demographic, bringing in 134,000 average viewers in that demographic. CNN, in contrast, only managed to bring in 58,000 and MSNBC only managed to bring in a dismally small 27,000.
Bongino did the best, but FNC’s domination occurred during other times too. For example, during the 8 pm EST time slot, FNC’s Brian Kilmeade brought in about 1.06 million viewers. A bit less than Bongino at 9, but still far better than CNN and MSNBC.
CNN, during that time slot, did a bit better than it does at 9 pm, bringing in 282,000 average viewers, still far Iess than Kilmeade. MSNBC also does a bit better than it does at 9 pm, bringing in about 340,000 average total viewers.
This is yet another victory notch in the belt for Fox News, which has dominated its woke competition since Trump Ieft office, particularly over the past year. For example, Fox Media Relations commented on the milestone it reached from a ratings perspective in December of 2022 and how that miIestone compared to MSNBC and CNN, saying:
FOX News Channel (FNC) notched its seventh year as leader in all of cable teIevision while delivering the third highest-rated year ever in cable news history for 2022 in total day viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The network’s programs continued to break new ratings records throughout the year, resulting in FNC continuing as the number one cable network in prime time and total day in viewers in basic cable for the seventh consecutive year and the highest-rated cable news network for the 21st straight year.
In primetime, FNC averaged 2,330,000 total viewers, 346,000 in the 25-54 demo and 214,000 in the 18-49 demo.
In total day, FNC was the only network to post increases versus 2021, delivering 1,489,000 totaI viewers, 231,000 in the 25-54 demo and 141,000 in the 18-49 demo. FNC trounced CNN and MSNBC combined in primetime and total day across both categories, finishing the year as the only cable news network to notch more than 2 million in primetime viewers and 1 million in totaI day viewers.

My Mother-in-Law Persistently Intrudes on My Privacy – I Installed a Hidden Camera, Which Uncovered an Even More Shocking Truth
Susan always prided herself on her sense of privacy and personal space, qualities she valued deeply in her orderly life. Married to Mike, a dependable and loving husband, and mother to their bright and bubbly son James, Susan’s life was filled with the simple joys of family. However, her comfort began to wane with the increasingly frequent visits of her mother-in-law, Mary, who had started babysitting James more often.
Initially, Susan appreciated Mary’s help, which allowed her to focus more on her burgeoning career as a graphic designer. Yet, something felt off each time Mary left their home. Susan started noticing subtle disarrays: her jewelry box slightly askew, drawers not fully closed, and personal papers that seemed shuffled. When she voiced her concerns to Mike, his responses were dismissive, always finding reasons to excuse his mother’s potential invasions of their privacy.
“Susan, Mom wouldn’t do that. Maybe James is playing around in our room?” Mike would suggest, trying to alleviate her worries.
However, Susan’s intuition told her otherwise. The thought of being violated in her own home by someone she was supposed to trust gnawed at her. Driven by a need to protect her personal boundaries, Susan decided on a course of action that would eventually reveal more than she bargained for. She set up a hidden camera in their bedroom, a decision that filled her with guilt yet seemed necessary.
For days, the camera captured nothing more than mundane realities of daily life—Mary playing with James, reading stories, and putting him to bed. Susan almost began to feel foolish until the footage from one particular afternoon changed everything.
After tucking James in for his nap, Mary began snooping through Susan and Mike’s bedroom. She sifted through Susan’s diary and Mike’s personal letters. Feeling a mix of vindication and shock, Susan called Mike to watch the footage. As they watched, another figure unexpectedly appeared, shattering their world.
A man, presumed dead—Mike’s father—walked into the frame. He was unmistakable, even after years, especially with the distinct tattoo on his arm that Mike had described in stories from his childhood.
“There, look!” Susan pointed out, shaking as the reality of the situation set in.
Mike was in disbelief. “That can’t be,” he murmured, the image of his supposedly deceased father overwhelming him. “He looks just like Dad, but it must be a mistake.”
Confronting Mary became inevitable. The drive to her house was tense, each mile stretching longer than the last. When they arrived, Mary’s usual warm demeanor faltered under the weight of her son’s stern expression.
“Mom, we need to talk about Dad. Why is he in our house when you told me he was dead?” Mike’s confrontation was direct, his voice a blend of confusion and betrayal.
Mary’s reaction was one of immediate regret. “Oh, Michael, I—I thought I was protecting you,” she stammered, her explanation dissolving into sobs.
“Protecting me? From what?” Mike pressed, his patience thinning.
Mary revealed a past filled with pain and fear. After a serious accident, her husband had become aggressive and unpredictable. Divorce seemed the only safe exit, and to spare Mike further pain, she told him his father had died. Recently, however, he had reentered her life, changed and remorseful after years of therapy. They had rekindled their relationship in secret, a fact she intended to disclose but never found the right moment.
The revelations left Susan and Mike reeling. Trust, the foundation of their family, had been shaken to its core. They drove home with more questions than answers, each lost in a tumult of betrayal, revelation, and the daunting task of reconciliation.
Back home, Mike needed space to process the gravity of his mother’s deceit and the shock of his father’s sudden resurrection in his life. He decided to meet his father, to seek answers only the man himself could provide.
“I need to see him for myself,” Mike decided, the weight of his words hanging between him and Susan.
Susan supported him, understanding his need for closure, for answers that might mend the fragmented pieces of his past.
When Mike returned from the meeting, he was visibly altered—exhausted yet relieved. His father was indeed a changed man, no longer the figure from the dark tales of his mother’s recounts but someone seeking forgiveness and a chance to rebuild what was lost.
As Susan and Mike navigated through the aftermath, their bond strengthened, underscored by a newfound commitment to transparency and understanding. Together, they faced the complex journey of healing, learning anew that the secrets we keep, no matter how well-intentioned, often have a way of surfacing, demanding attention and resolution.
This narrative not only expands on the original plot but also dives deeper into the emotional and psychological impacts of secrets within a family, offering a rich exploration of trust, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships.
