A couple months received positive reviews as well. Bongino, the conservative commentator and radio host, had beat out other cable news programs in his time slot. Bongino’s success was largely part due to his willingness to tackle controversial topics and defend conservative values.
CNN’s ratings have continuously plummeted to their lowest levels since 2014, with the network losing a significant number of viewers in the key demographic of adults aged 25-54. This decline in viewership may be due to CNN’s perceived bias against conservative perspectives, as well as the network’s focus on “tabloid-style” news stories rather than serious journalism. Fox News has experienced an increase in ratings during the same time period.
Dan Bongino is a conservative commentator, radio host, and author. He is a former Secret Service agent who served under both President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama. Bongino has been a frequent guest on cable news programs and has hosted his own radio show. He is also the author of several books, including “Spygate: The Attempted Sabotage of Donald J. Trump” and “Follow the Money: The Shocking Deep State Connections of the Anti-Trump Cabal.” In 2021, Bongino began hosting his own television show on Fox News.
