Donald Trump counter-programmed Thursday's GOP primary debate on Fox with his own prime time event. So whose show scored a bigger audience?
Answer: Fox's debate. But it was the second lowest rated debate of the season. So Trump is certain to take credit for hurting the channel's total viewership.
Fox News Channel's Trump-less debate had an 8.4 household rating, according to early Nielsen data from so-called metered markets.
This means 8.4% of American metered market homes with TV sets were watching the face-off.
By comparison, two of the cable channels that showed parts of Trump's event, CNN and MSNBC, had about a quarter of Fox's audience combined.
So Trump's rivals clearly came out ahead in the raw ratings.
The most recent GOP debate, televised two weeks ago on the harder-to-find Fox Business Network, had a household rating of 7.4.
So Thursday's debate was bigger -- but not by much. The other five GOP debates of the cycle have had household ratings ranging from 8.9 to 15.9.

Isn’t that great! MSM is dishonest.
Two things:
1. You failed to list even one conservative position Trump has maintained for the last five years.
2.Never said Trump hated this country. I said I could produce the videos of Trump promoting liberal ideas and praise of various high-ranking liberal Democrats. Learn to read.
Agreed.
I said I don’t care about conservative vs liberal areguments anymore. Can’t you read!?
Your graphic is TRUMP dropping the nagging Cruzers out the nearest window. With sound effects. :)
Sometimes “caustic” can be good. :)
Just in time to run for president!!!
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."
Seriously. Trump must be laughing his ass off.
