Ratings matter at every tv Chanel. But at Fox, especially post-Ailes, they were *everything,* staffers told me. Fox executives pitched it as “Moneyball” for television. https://t.co/kJe8aBZc7p — PolitiTweet.org

On Nov. 11, as the next evening’s broadcast approached, the staff member texted Mr. Carlson again. “Have you seen last night’s numbers?” the staff member wrote, adding, “It’s a stupid story but this is all the viewers are into right now.” Mr. Carlson's reply? “I noticed.” — PolitiTweet.org

Carlson and a producer then spent a night and day trying to figure out how to get back into the "voter fraud" story, and into viewers' graces. They seized on "dead people voting" and pumped Trump campaign to spoon-feed them examples they could put on air. https://t.co/i5D4Y4gERb — PolitiTweet.org

Carlson's producers and network were also attuned to Twitter attacks on the star. In November, a Fox staffer warned Carlson that he was being attacked on Twitter for not covering allegations of voter fraud. “It’s all our viewers care about right now,” the staff member wrote. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlson also texted Hannity and Ingraham about ratings earlier that month, warning Hannity that “the 7:00 was third last night,” referring to the time slot immediately preceding his own. — PolitiTweet.org

“Tucker wrote me and Laura and said last nights numbers were a disaster,” Sean Hannity wrote to Fox producers in late November 2020. (His producer noted that the previous week’s most highly rated programming minutes “were on the voting irregularities.”) https://t.co/i5D4Y4gERb — PolitiTweet.org

Backing up my reporting, in the Dominion lawsuit, we see example after example of Carlson and his colleagues obsessing over ratings -- his ratings, other people's ratings, Fox's ratings. — PolitiTweet.org

When it came out, Carlson seemed particularly perturbed by our reporting that he was among Fox's most avid consumers of ratings data. He told @mikeallen "I've never read the ratings a single day in my life." He told @semaforben "I never look at the ratings." — PolitiTweet.org

What turned Carlson around? In a word, ratings. Funny story there. Last May, my colleagues and I published a lengthy series about how Carlson had risen to the top at Fox. You can read Part 2 here. (cont'd) https://t.co/oprfQ2Jpvo — PolitiTweet.org

On camera, Carlson told Trump backers — his audience — that they had been taken for fools and suckered by the American election system. Behind the scenes, new documents show, Carlson and his producers were the ones scoffing. https://t.co/G05kEkeM06 — PolitiTweet.org
