The Trump Bump is Real: CNN Sees 124 Percent Lift From the Donald
The Wrap ^ | August 20, 2015 @ 2:12 pm | By Jordan Chariton

Trump’s daily sound bite express has given producers ample material to fill segments, shows and haul in ratings. The latter category has been Trump’s biggest impact. Looking over the last few weeks, Trump’s appearances lifted every show he appeared on.

Wednesday night’s CNN 9 p.m. special featuring Chris Cuomo’s interview with the Donald brought in 1.14 million viewers, boosting the time slot a whopping 124 percent in viewers compared to the previous week, which had an extended hour of “Anderson Cooper 360.”

Well I’m not watching Fox News anymore since their disgusting attack on Trump, so I’ll be helping them out.

:D

Same here.

I have not watched Faux News since debate night.

The entire night was programmed to take Trump out.
From the Debate, and then the talking heads to Frank Luntz fake focus group, it was all pre-planned to take Trump out.

FU Faux News.

Trump already owns FNC, seems like he’s now making a down-payment on CNN.

FNC is imposing a blackout on Trump news. Rupert and fils are not to be trifled with. Good ratings news for CNN and MSNBC who have wall to wall coverage of DT. Let the games begin.

Fox is programmed to take Trump out.....

Right you are.

The CNN Nitwork is ALSO programmed night and day to take Trump out even though he's enhancing its ratings.

The reason I'm watching CNN much more than Fox now is because I'm NOT SURPRISED at any of CNN's anti-Trump lies and evilness spewed every hour because I EXPECT it.

However, one by one, the "fair and balanced" (hah) Fox regulars, analysts, commentators and guests (including the maniacal Wan Williams and Whorealdo Rivera) are going or already gone over to the dark side under the lefty Murdoch brothers new day-to-day, hands-on management...and this turn of events is disgusting me and fraying my nerves when it didn't before.....even though I was never under any illusions that FNN was all that conservative.

Fox is out-foxing itself.

Who’da thunk it? The Donald turns out to be the salvation of CNN and PMSNBC.

I hope those folks know what they are doing to the whole “far Left is the new center” meme.

The Donald may take them to a place they never realized they may end up, championing a whole different kind of hero, one of the very wealthy as “common man”.

My cable company requires a ‘package’ if we want Fox. CNN and MSNBC (if they’re still around) are, of course, standard.

Needless to say, I canceled my ‘package’. I’m not going to pay extra to watch the media beat me up, when I can get it for free.

So that $10M donation to charity Donald wants from CNN is a lock then?

Love him or hate him, Trump is the real deal...

Remember Sergeant Tahmooressi? Trump helped him with a 25k check and spoke out for his release while many didn’t.

I am no longer watching Fox either. :) I did notice that MSNBC carried Donald Trumps news conference as well as his town hall in NH last night, Wednesday 19th. And this morning Donald was on the Morning Joe show. To be sure, the other networks are liking to see Fox ratings taking a dive!

I now watch One American News Network which I am delighted to say is carried on my Verizon FIOS. I suggest all who want to see great programing to check to see if your TV package includes it. One can also watch on line at
Oann.com.

I watch only certain Fox News shows if I need to. I also spend time reading sites. I hear podcasts but been listening to less talk radio. Mostly Rush, and Ingraham or Loesch.
