Fox News once again dominated the cable news scene last week, according to Nielsen Media Research. The cable news network wrapped up a strong July with another week as No. 1 in all demographics.

Among viewers aged 25 to 54, a key demographic for advertisers, Fox News led all cable channels in total day ratings with an average of 123,000 viewers during the week of July 27. In contrast, CNN finished sixth (68,000) and MS NOW at 10th (61,000).

In primetime, Fox News again outpaced every news channel, finishing second among all networks in the 25–54 demo.

10 for 10: Fox News Fills the Leaderboard

Fox News held every spot in the top 10 programs for cable news, according to Nielsen Media Research. “The Five” held the top four spots, its highest rated show finishing with 3.6 million viewers, an increase from its average of 3.3 million over the entire month of July.

Holding the next four spots was “Jesse Watters Primetime,” averaging 3.1 million viewers across those days.

Rounding out the top 10, “The Five” made another appearance, followed by an episode of “Gutfeld!” with 2.8 million viewers.

Total Viewership Wasn’t Much of a Competition

While Fox News was pushed to No. 2 by Discovery Channel for the top spot in primetime target demo ratings, there was no such competition in total ratings.

As Discovery Channel fell to fourth in total ratings during primetime, Fox News moved back to the top, averaging 2.3 million viewers. MS NOW, which finished second in total primetime ratings, ended the week with an average of 994,000, while CNN finished fifth with 636,000.

Fox News will now look to continue its cable success as summer comes to a close and November midterm elections approach.

Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich., says he is devoted to addressing “systemic inequities” that affect “marginalized communities” like black Americans. Black Americans, however, just sent Thanedar packing.

Michigan’s 13th District includes portions of Detroit in Wayne County. The county has a 37.6% black population—the highest percentage of black residents of any county in the state, according to the United States Census Bureau. And in Tuesday night’s election, Democrat voters chose a black candidate to replace Thanedar on the ballot in November.

In his victory remarks, Democrat Donavan McKinney made sure people knew he, unlike Thanedar, represented the racial profile of the 13th District.

“This is about all of you guys, because the mighty 13th District, a lot of folks don’t know, this is a very diverse district,” McKinney said. “But it encompasses the blackest major city in all of America, the city of Detroit. And we cannot forget what Detroit means not only to our city and our state, but to the world.”

The great irony is that this is exactly the kind of politics Thanedar tried to prop up while in Washington. Thanedar’s website notes that he co-sponsored the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act, as well as a House Resolution stating that America must provide reparation for the effects of slavery on the lives of “millions of Black people in the United States.”

In the age of identity politics, supporting and being are two different things.

Several black Democrats have attempted to primary Thanedar in the last two elections, but Thanedar managed to survive these challenges because those candidates would split the black vote. This is the first time Thanedar has run head-to-head with a black candidate—and he couldn’t hold the seat. 

One reason that Thanedar faced a one-on-one matchup with a black candidate in the primary is due to the continued fallout of the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais.

After Louisiana v. Callais, a Supreme Court ruling that determined congressional districts by race were “unconstitutional racial gerrymandering,” members of the Congressional Black Caucus were worried that black candidates would be increasingly iced out of Congress.

But the Congressional Black Caucus, a group of black representatives in Congress, pledged that it wouldn’t let that happen. 

“The CBC is willing to take any measure necessary to bring a legislative solution to the floor to protect Black voters around the country from this extremist effort to diminish Black voices and access to fair representation,” a statement from the Congressional Black Caucus said.

Michigan’s 13th District was the perfect target for the Congressional Black Caucus because it has a large black population without any “racial gerrymandering.” McKinney received endorsements from a large number of members of the Congressional Black Caucus, whereas Thanedar was only backed by two caucus members.

In previous matchups, Thanedar has been forced to address the tension between his support for identity politics while not being black himself. When BridgeDetroit interviewed Thanedar after he won the primary in 2022, he said, “I do believe that there should be proper proportional representation, not just in Congress but in the Senate and all walks of life, including corporate CEOs and every area.” While admitting that black representation is important, he also noted that “race should not be a factor” in electing a representative.

Race, however, seemed to be a deciding factor in Thanedar’s primary loss Tuesday night.
