first of all, Fox has more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined.
Second, social media, funded by Russian Oligarchs, have their alghorythms set to amplify right wing propaganda. the top ten posts daily on Facebook are all right wing.
Third, I would argue that MSNBC is "left leaning" with its nightime hosts, but that their newshole is factual/centrist. I would argue that CNN took a right turn over the past year and is centrist right. Add to it OANN, Newsmax and other right wing media that is ramping up viewership, particularly as the extreme right eschew Fox because *gasp* they require their on set talent in NY to be vaccinated.
Forth, viewership for things like CBS and ABC News is WAY down. It isn't the Bog 3 with Uncle Walk telling it like it is anymore and hasn't been for more than 25 years.
FOX has more viewers because the non-right-wing market is very balkanized. Normal people get their news from a whole variety of sources. FOX News viewers on the other hand have been systematically conditioned to believe that all of the rest of the media is "liberal lamestream lies" so they avoid those other sources and mostly just cling to FOX.
