CNN’s Biden town hall flops, finishes behind Fox News, MSNBC with only 1.5 million viewers
Fox News ^ | 7/22/21 | Brian Flood

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

Me too. I turned FNC off in September 2020 and have watched one second since. No cable news for me ever.

Small audience is actually a plus for the White House. It was not a strong performance.

You bet, and they can’t claim this was before the town hall started, as you can clearly see Biden on stage at #10.

It’s usually the way the MSM portrays a poor showing; a picture before the event as folks are just showing up. They did that to Trump’s inauguration picture.

And how many of those 1.5 million tuned in to see how far gone the (*ahem*) President of the United States is this week?

Half, maybe?

Here is what the media was peddling.

And here is the harsh reality.

What the Biden CNN town hall looks like from the back of the auditorium -- Ohio 7/21/21

I am surprised he even got 1.5 million viewer if that is what CNN claims.

He should have told the folks in the U.S. that he had a ???

Question: Why hasn't the MSM asked him why he did not tell the U.S. folks he was having an operation of the bleeding aneurysm in his brain.

Answer: Because the reporter will be instantly fired once they ask the question.

It was not a strong performance.

Understatement of the DECADE. He was babbling about the moon, aliens, and stringing together random words. One time he must have started ten different thoughts without finishing a single one of them and then forgot what he was talking about. What a pathetic old coot.

I think Biden’s carefully cloaked PuppetMasters allowed this to happen on purpose.

Assuming, hypothetically, carefully cloaked PuppetMasters might be the case... Has anyone ever asked just who these folks might be?

For example who, how are they compensated, where do they meet, etc?
