Obama-ABC Town Hall Ratings OK, But ‘Big Brother’ Wins Night In Demo(beat by Big Bang re-run)
Deadline.com ^ | 7/15/16 | Dominic patten

With news of the fatal attack in Nice unfolding in real time and controversy over promises the daughter of Eric Garner says ABC News made her about asking a question, the network’s The President And The People: Race In America (1.0/4) felt like both old news and breaking news simultaneously last night.

As cable news covered events in France, the one-hour pre-taped commercial-free special, with President Barack Obama was a ratings middleweight for ABC. Drawing 5.76 million viewers, the David Muir hosted town hall, which was also shown on ESPN and Freeform, certainly did better than when the President was on CNN back on January 7 for a Guns In America town hall. That Anderson Cooper question and answer pulled in 2.4 million total viewers. And the convo with the Commander-in-Chief was up a tenth from what a new BattleBots had in the slot last week. However, the ABC town hall was easily topped in the demo and in total viewers (7.20 million) by a The Big Bang Theory (1.5/7) repeat at 8PM – leaving CBS to win the slot.

I didnt even know there was a town hall.

Not that I would have watched. I live in the future where we are subjected to crap TV.

Glad I saw the moronic Obama show in the TV listings before it was on so I didn’t accidentally see one second of it while channel surfing.

I have never been able to hear him babble without wanting to throw a brick at the tv.

No one wants to watch Big Brother; they would prefer to watch Big Brother.

Bad enough on it’s face. But ABC edited to take out questions or statements that the administration didn’t like. They also moved some answers so that they became the answer to different questions .

I knew about it beforehand, but didn’t plan to watch.

However, I thought it was advertised as ‘live’ but it was pre-taped? Either I mis-heard or ‘live’ shows mean ‘live people were in them at the time it was taped’.

I do admit to being tempted to watch when I first heard about it, in hopes someone would give Obama a piece of their mind.

He said when he was younger and living with grandparents in an apartment building, that a woman was on the elevator in the building, and when he got on the elevator, she got off the elevator.

And he said he’s experienced walking down the street, and hearing the locks on car doors locking.

He attributes both experiences to racism, apparently.

If that town hall was full of such liberal pablum, I’m glad I missed it.

Was the woman white? Perhaps he reeked? Perhaps he was smoking and she didn't want to be on an elevator with a person smoking.
