Nature is healing.

As the post-election news landscape simmers down, the ratings landscape is threatening to return to normalcy. That means viewership of fringe networks like Newsmax is coming down to earth, and the ratings strength of Fox News is returning.

Granted, Trump's base is not yet ready to forgive Fox News, as Mediaite's Aidan McLaughlin examined in his dispatch from CPAC. Many diehard Republicans are still furious with the network after its coverage of the 2020 election. And it is still getting beaten by MSNBC and CNN in total day ratings (read all about the February numbers here.)

But Fox's prime time ratings are strong. (We should note, most CPAC attendees told Mediaite that while they might begrudge Fox, they still watch Tucker.)

But the real victory today goes to Fox & Friends, which broke Morning Joe's 40-day winning streak on Monday, and continued to land in first place in the ratings in both the demo and total viewers on Tuesday.

Dinesh D'Souza, right-wing provocateur, has fallen quite far from his previous perch as a respected conservative author and commentator.

He now almost exclusively makes headlines for either shockingly dumb comments, or shockingly nasty ones — like when he mocked the survivors of a school shooting or posted a meme depicting Michelle Obama as a man.

And every time he makes one of those comments, people ask why he is still listed as a contributor for the National Review, a magazine he has not written for since 2009.

Well ask no more, because Dinesh D’Souza has been officially scrubbed from the conservative mag’s website.

Some Mediaite sleuthing found that D'Souza was scrubbed in August of last year, right around the time he launched a bizarre quest to convince Twitter that Thailand was actually pronounced "Thigh-land."

That fight was waged in order to defend Donald Trump against the embarrassment of having mispronounced the country's name. An incredibly pathetic fight it was.
