Posted elsewhere, but I love the spin.
They beat their own off-network, so therefore ratings are up.
They didn’t meet expectations, not by a long shot.
Barely half what FNC got last time.
And they did not beat CNNs last debate ratings.
So, the candidate's supporters are now pointing to teevee ratings as some sort of indirect indicator for election prediction polls?!
Seems like "look! a squirrel!" to me.
People lose interest in debates but that was an excellent showing and The Donald Show barely drew.
More importantly is this ...
REPEAT BUSINESS.
So people watched a hatchet-job on Cruz after Number 1 boycotted them?
How does that leave the audience feeling about FoxNews?
They hurt their ‘brand’.
Specifics coming up in ‘post to self’.
