As has been mentioned before, ratings are irrelevant to an outlet's accuracy. In fact, you have been provided numerous sources (including court filings) detailing how FOX was kicking themselves for calling Arizona for Biden because it affected viewership. Didn't matter that they were first (which they were), and they were correct (ditto). Their viewers didn't like it, and their ratings dropped a bit. But they were still correct, and for once they did their job and reported it. From what we know from internal memos, they may not make that "mistake" again.

Don't focus on ratings. Ratings are not relevant to anything except how popular (and potentially profitable) they are.
