TRUMP SAYS FOX NEWS RATINGS ARE “WAY DOWN (27%!)” BECAUSE IT IS SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME COVERING THE “TRUMP DERANGED DEMOCRATS,” CLAIMING HIS OWN NUMBERS ARE BETTER THAN EVER AND CITING A NEW CNN POLL PUTTING HIM AT 99% AMONG REPUBLICANS AND AT 53% AMONG REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS, COMPARED TO RONALD REAGAN AT 18% AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN AT 8% - TRUTH SOCIAL

Former President Donald Trump, in a social media post, claimed Fox News ratings are down 27 percent because the network is devoting excessive coverage to what he described as "Trump deranged Democrats," while asserting his own polling numbers are at record highs and citing a CNN poll that he said places him at 99 percent approval among Republicans. The headline contains no verified ratings data, and the 99 percent figure appears to refer to a partisan subgroup rather than the general electorate, so the claims are unconfirmed on their face. The direct market transmission channel is limited, since the statement does not alter policy expectations, earnings outlooks, or rate paths, but it can affect media-sector equities and political-risk sentiment through perceived shifts in audience polarization and advertiser exposure. Fox Corporation and Paramount Global, which owns CNN, are the most directly exposed listed names, with sensitivity driven by how ratings data is reported and how advertisers respond to network positioning. Traders should watch Nielsen's weekly cable ratings releases and any subsequent Fox Corporation quarterly commentary on audience trends for independent confirmatio

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
