Fox News engagement report
@FoxNews - 29M followers on X
Measured over 407 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.7K interactions against 29M followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 407 original posts, its engagement rate beats 38% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 224K times each, and 0.74% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.76% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 18.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 407 posts sampled, 83% carry an image or video, 21% are part of a thread and 14% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 74K interactions, about 44x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Fox News's engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 48% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

"If you want the American dream, you have to take the American values." Bill Maher unloads on immigrants who refuse to assimilate, arguing America can welcome different food, languages, religions and traditions without compromising what he calls its fundamental values. "You have to answer one question: Do you like Western civilization? Because that's what we are. And that's not negotiable." Maher says welcoming immigrants doesn't mean accepting every cultural practice they bring with them, drawing a hard line at honor killings, polygamy and female genital mutilation. He argues protecting liberal values isn't racist, saying "people fought and died to establish them" and some things are "too fundamental to change."

"America, we have lost this city." Pastor Lorenzo Sewell unloaded during a Dearborn, Michigan, city meeting, accusing the city of operating under Sharia law. "This is a city that is no longer up under American laws; we are up under Sharia law. We will not have it anymore," Sewell said. "Enough is enough." The outburst, which came amid a series of other anti-Islam protests in Dearborn, vocalizes fears that Muslim populations in Michigan are working to bring their communities more in line with their religious worldview, views Sewell believes are at odds with the vast majority of the country.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 1.7K interactions against 29M followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 407 original posts, its engagement rate beats 38% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 224K times each, and 0.74% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Fox News's engagement rate on X?
- Fox News (@FoxNews) has an engagement rate of 0.006%, based on the median interactions across 407 original posts from the last 30 days against 29,412,375 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.006%, Fox News sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @FoxNews have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @FoxNews post?
- Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 18.77 posts per day across the measured window.
