Positive Sentiment: Opinion and commentary backing the administration’s actions (high-profile anchors and columns) are likely amplifying repeat viewership among Fox’s core audience, supporting ad upsell and subscription stickiness.

Neutral Sentiment: Global reaction pieces (Zelenskyy, allied responses, Iran unrest) expand international reach but have mixed impact on short-term U.S. ad revenue. Zelenskyy reacts to Maduro arrest
