Nothing illustrates the political passions of a television network’s audience quite like ratings for a presidential inaugural.

The 6.53 million people who watched President Joe Biden take the oath of office and deliver his inaugural address on MSNBC Wednesday was a whopping 338% bigger than its audience for Donald Trump’s swearing in four years ago, the Nielsen company said.

On the flip side, Fox News Channel’s audience of 2.74 million for Biden on Wednesday represented a nearly 77% drop from its viewership for Trump in 2017, Nielsen said.

Never turned on my TV that entire day. Spent the day in mourning.

I find it hard to believe that 23% of Fox viewers watched the Biden inauguration.

Keep hammering away at these rats!!

Right about noon I cracked a beer and toasted Donald Trump, the greatest president of my lifetime.

Almost never drink that early in the day. But I needed it.

I hope Trump takes a much deserved break from it all.

Even though the Fox roundtable was swooning all over Senile Joe.

[marcusmaximus]

I didn’t watch it either. Not one second.

[Luke21]

I hate Fox with the heat of a billion suns.

[Sans-Culotte]

My sock drawer needed a lot of attention that day.

I should have done that but for the most part I focused on work and tried not to think about it too much. I’ll crack one now a few days late. Cheers!

Yes, lets grease the skids. cut their cable subscriber fees as well as ratings. Dump cable tv. Take down the other LEFTIST news channels as a bonus.

LOL!

But he’s the most popular Resident ever! /sarc

CNN’s ratings are going to tank also. They can’t keep picking at the scab of Trump hatred forever.

We usually watch every inauguration (at least the short ceremony part of it) regardless of who won the election.

Four years ago, we happily settled in all day in front of the TV, and enjoyed every minute of President Trump's inauguration. What a glorious day!

Watched about 5 minutes of Senile Joe's inauguration on Wednesday. Had no interest in his speech, nor the rest of the crap "festivities".

[Jane Long]

Wait.....what inauguration?

There was an inauguration???

Hmmmmm.....we didn’t have a single TV on, on Jan 20....the entire day.

😍

[nutmeg]

LOL! You're right... it was a FAKE "inauguration". The REAL President is currently living in Palm Beach, FL.

I do believe President Trump was cheated out of another four years. The whole thing is disgusting...

[Jane Long]

Yep...it stinks to high heaven.

I’m praying PDJT arises from these ashes, like a Phoenix, and swoops this great nation back up.

🙏🏻

[nutmeg]

AMEN!
