Savannah Guthrie is a disgusting cow and a tart of the Left.

Yup.

If you are not playing offense you will be playing defense—and you will lose the game.

Not true Trump’s town hall was broadcast on MSNBC and CNBC. So, the combined audience for Trump’s town hall will be higher.

Nope. The numbers include MSNBC and CNBC. It's in the article. "He drew an average of 10.7 million total viewers from NBC, 1.7 million on MSNBC and 671,000 on CNBC, Nielsen said."

ABC stations on the West Coast had Biden on live at 5:00 pm, but the NBC stations had Trump delayed until 8:00 pm. People just watched Trump on the Internet instead of waiting for the delayed broadcast. As such, the TV ratings are meaningless.

Exactly. Everything that’s on TV is available on YouTube for people to watch at their leisure.

That’s why I don’t put much stock into TV advertising, there’s too many alternatives, and it’s easy to just switch off TV ads, and if they become too repetitive can work against the campaign.

It means we (Rs) wanted to see him lose it. I can guarantee that his voters were too scared to watch.

There was a lot of shenanigans going on. NBC local channels in many places did not carry it. The big one was that a strategy spread on tik-tok was to watch Biden on several platforms and to open many tabs with it on as well to pump up the numbers. Also I think a lot of conservatives were seeing if they would ask the Hunter question.

Biden’s was for 1 1/2 hours. WHY? President Trump’s was only for an hour.

They don't call him slow Joe for nothin'!

No, Biden drew 14.1 on ABC. Trump drew 13.4 million on NBC plus 1.8 million on MSNBC and 700k CNBC for a total of about 16 million.

Well, I was watching Tucker because I knew they were going to spend the whole time attacking President Trump.

I’m sure many others did the same.
