This was early Nielsen data. Data now released shows Trump garnered about a million more views.
I really hope Guthrie’s ratings tanks, She deserves it.
It’s Newsweak, consider the source.
Yawn. Who cares?
I would think a lot of people tuned in the Biden townhall out of curiosity over whether he would actually be asked about the biggest story of the day, his family’s immense corruption and influence peddling. Of course, he was not.
We recorded both, but started watching Trump, and the first ten minutes were like a rerun of “The Shining.” Guthrie was unhinged, eyes bulging and if we could have seen her notes there would have been repetitive lines, “Orange Man Bad”
Switched to Biden, hoping when asked a tough question he would start slobbering and asking for his mommy Jill. Didn’t happen, of course. So we settled on TUCKER CARLSON.
Of course it was us who watched. We wanted to see if lil Georgie would go there and if Grandpa Groundhog would make a fool of himself.
Convenient to ignore online numbers...
Trump had a 2:1 edge there.
But that doesn’t spin their narrative...
It would also be interesting to know when the numbers were tabulated. Many Trump viewers went to the Biden show after NBC closed their broadcast. The Biden-fest continued for another 35 minutes after Trump.
Same reason many people watch Nascar-for the crashes.
