Here’s a bold statement: Fox News Digital isn’t just winning—it’s redefining the game. But here’s where it gets controversial: while some celebrate its dominance, others question whether this level of market control stifles diverse voices in media. Let’s dive into the numbers and let you decide.
In November, Fox News Digital didn’t just lead the pack—it left competitors in the dust. With nearly 1.6 billion multiplatform views, it outpaced The New York Times’ 1.4 billion and dwarfed CNN’s 697 million, according to Comscore. This marked the 19th consecutive month of Fox News Digital sitting atop the leaderboard in this key metric. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about views. Fox News Digital also dominated in multiplatform minutes, securing 3.1 billion—far ahead of the Times and CNN, which each settled for 1.1 billion. This was the 57th straight month of such dominance.
To put it in perspective, major networks like CBS News, NBC News, and ABC News couldn’t even come close. Each finished with less than 500 million multiplatform views and under one billion minutes. Fox News Digital’s 165 million unique visitors represented a 44% year-over-year increase, further solidifying its lead over CNN, the Times, and others.
Here’s a thought-provoking question: Is Fox News Digital’s success a testament to its ability to resonate with audiences, or does it highlight a growing polarization in media consumption? Let us know in the comments.
On YouTube, Fox News continued its unstoppable streak, driving nearly 300 million video views in November—far surpassing CNN’s 201 million, ABC News’ 132 million, and even the Times’ modest 10 million. This performance has already made 2025 Fox News’ best year ever on the platform, even before December’s numbers rolled in.
The Fox News Mobile app also shone, attracting 6.4 million unique viewers in November, compared to CNN’s 3.7 million. On social media, Fox News led with 108 million interactions across Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and X, according to Emplifi and Shareablee. TikTok alone saw a staggering 19.7 million interactions, while Facebook interactions surged 358% year-over-year to 108 million.
But here’s a counterpoint: While Fox News thrives, some argue that its dominance could limit exposure to alternative viewpoints. What do you think? Is this a fair concern, or is Fox News simply giving audiences what they want?
Amid this success, November was also a news-heavy month, with the Trump administration making headlines daily. Additionally, Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York City’s democratic socialist mayor and his subsequent Oval Office meeting with President Trump added to the media frenzy. These events undoubtedly fueled engagement across platforms.
Finally, it’s worth noting that Fox News Digital, along with CBSNews.com, NBCNews.com, WashingtonPost.com, and ABCNews.com, has opted to account for social incremental data in its total digital multiplatform unique visitors. The New York Times and CNN.com, however, have not. This difference in reporting could skew comparisons—something to keep in mind when analyzing the numbers.
So, what’s your take? Is Fox News Digital’s dominance a triumph of media strategy, or does it raise concerns about diversity in news consumption? Share your thoughts below—we’re eager to hear your perspective!
