Was Gretchen Carlson tanking in the ratings when she was removed from Fox News Channel?

It all depends on whose answer you're reading.

Carlson's attorneys fired back on Thursday morning, saying his statement was false and that she had improved ratings in the hour and that she had the top show in its hour.
