Tucker Carlson's explosive Bobulinski interview draws 7.6M viewers as mainstream media ignores it

“Tucker Carlson Tonight” averaged a whopping 7.6 million viewers on Tuesday for its exclusive interview with Tony Bobulinski, proving Americans are interested in the ongoing scandal despite other news organizations dismissing it.

The mainstream media has largely ignored Tucker Carlson’s interview with Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden who said the Biden family shrugged off concerns that Joe Biden’s alleged ties to his son's business deals could put a future presidential campaign at risk

Carlson’s interview with Bobulinski topped the heavily promoted season premiere of NBC’s “This Is Us” to finish as the No. 3 program in all of television on Tuesday, finishing behind only FOX’s World Series Game 6 and NBC’s “The Voice.”

The Bobulinski interview averaged 1.6 million viewers in the key demographic of adults age 25-54, as “Tucker Carlson Tonight” picked up its most-watched episode of 2020 in both total viewers and the demo, excluding debate nights.

Bobulinski, a retired lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, said he raised concerns in 2017 to the former vice president's brother Jim Biden, about Joe Biden’s alleged ties to a possible joint venture with a Chinese energy firm.

“I remember saying, ‘How are you guys getting away with this?’ ‘Aren't you concerned?’” Bobulinski told Carlson.

He claims that Jim Biden chuckled.

"'Plausible deniability,' he said it directly to me in a cabana at the Peninsula Hotel,” Bobulinski said.

Viewers stuck around, as “Hannity” averaged 6.4 million viewers on Tuesday following Bobulinski’s sitdown. Despite clear interest from Americans, Bobulinski’s comments to Carlson were completely ignored by CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times and Washington Post.

The enormous audience for Bobulinski’s appearance on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” came as the program finished October with the highest-rated monthly viewership of any program in the history of cable news.

“Tucker Carlson Tonight” averaged a staggering 5.4 million nightly viewers for the unprecedented ratings victory, while “Hannity” also surpassed the five-million viewer plateau by averaging 5.1 million.


Winning!

I never legitimize the bastards by calling them “mainstream”. They are the “mainstream” of a sewage flow.

Add in at least another 5 million views on the various YouTube clips of the interview. Plus write-ups about the interview all over the internet.

Supposedly the media is quashing this because the Biden campaign has threatened to freeze them out on access to a Biden Administration if they don’t.

Will be interesting to see if they start to worry about getting frozen out by Trump.

They are not mainstream. They used to be but now that is over. I never refer to them as such. They are the liberal media. I don’t care that my liege supporting family tells me that fox is fake and what they watch is news. They are all wrong. Doesn’t make leftist media mainstream.

I am trying to access Giuliani vs Kennedy video. It is not available. All the sources listed are leftist. The only video is cut off. Calls Giuliani wrong

He was not wrong. Kennedy underestimating the former mayor, USAttorney as most do

I’ll bet my favorite prayer rug and all my shares in Burisma that the dems are plotting to get rid of Tucker Carlson.

Bobulinski’s comments to Carlson were completely ignored by CNN, MSNBC

But then Tucker pulled in more viewers than the combined CNN and MSNBC viewers for that time slot, with at least another 2 million viewers to spare.

They should worry about being INDICTED by Trump.
