A typical post picks up 96 interactions against 2.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.005%. Measured over 32 original posts, its engagement rate beats 25% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 60K times each, and 0.161% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.95% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 13 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 32 posts sampled, 47% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 38K interactions, about 27x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #specialreport, #foxnews, #24octobre.

Compared with accounts its own size

Bret Baier's engagement rate beats 25% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 11% 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

At 0.005%, Bret Baier sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,491 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,491 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 22:00 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.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

  • 47% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 9% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 176 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    BREAKING: Saudi Aramco has cancelled all of its September European crude oil allocations and is scrapping every cargo slated for late-September loading onward, with a European lifter saying no Saudi oil cargoes at all until November, per initial reports citing oil trading firm Onyx and market sources. That takes the world's largest exporter out of the European market for the rest of September and all of October, a de facto force majeure on Saudi crude to Europe from the 3rd largest energy producer in the world.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 96 interactions against 2.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.005%. Measured over 32 original posts, its engagement rate beats 25% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 60K times each, and 0.161% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.95% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 13 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 32 posts sampled, 47% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 38K interactions, about 27x its own typical post.

What is Bret Baier's engagement rate on X?
Bret Baier (@BretBaier) has an engagement rate of 0.005%, based on the median interactions across 32 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,027,857 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.005%, Bret Baier sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,491 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 @BretBaier have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 25% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size 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 @BretBaier post?
Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 13.03 posts per day across the measured window.
