CNN’s Biden town hall flops, finishes behind Fox News, MSNBC with only 1.5 million viewers

CNN’s heavily promoted town hall event with President Biden failed to resonate with Americans on Wednesday night, as it got thumped by Fox News and even finished with a smaller audience than MSNBC.

The CNN Biden town hall, moderated by Don Lemon, averaged only 1.5 million viewers from 8-9:30 p.m. ET, while Fox News averaged 2.7 million viewers during the same time period. MSNBC averaged 1.6 million sets of eyeballs, which pushed CNN’s chat with the president to last place among relevant cable news stations.

Fox News beat CNN by a staggering 83 percent during the Biden town hall with regular programing on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" and a special edition of "Hannity" that featured Florida Republicans Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Marco Rubio, Rep. Maria Salazar and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.

Every Fox News town hall event over the past five years outdrew Wednesday’s CNN event with Biden

Yeah maybe but he beat the pants off PDJT, even though no one came to his campaign rallies.

The recipient of the greatest number of votes for President in US history. Enormously popular. The TV told me this.

I think Biden’s carefully cloaked PuppetMasters allowed this to happen on purpose. They do not want more people to study this president in a live, face to face situation.
Certainly not in his current state of unraveling.
They are fine dealing with the temporary embarrassment of an auaditorium almost 80% empty.
“Their Media” will smoothly paper over the incident and act as though maybe it never even happened.

A significant percentage of the population voted for a demented,vapid, amoral criminal to be their President. When it becomes clear that an encountered person actually voted for Biden, want nothing more than the most superficial relationship that is absolutely necessary with that person. Want if possible virtually nothing to do with such people.

Fox News beating their chest like they are something special. They are blinded by arrogance and still don’t realize how many former Fox News viewers will NEVER tune in again. I am one of them.

My TV told me the same thing.

It even tells me this when it’s turned off.

Shove everyone up front so it falsifies how many people were there. The most popular president ever with so many voters and how many showed up?

I’m impressed. It’s not every President that is able to pull his entire vote bloc to watch him attempt to speak.

Bet he sends out his press secretariette out to make the argument that those who didn’t watch Joe’s TV show are the equivalent of Klan members and members of the SS.

Biden had a recent townhall?

Doesn’t he have to be in bed by 7pm?

This reminds me of the Iraqi voting record that was made public when Saddam was in power. He got 100% of the vote in every election. When they captured the a-hole in his spider hole his statues came toppling down by the people of Iraq.
