Trump Briefing Boosts Fox’s Special Report to No. 1 in Wednesday Ratings, Tucker Carlson Tops Demo in Prime Time
Mediaite ^ | March 27 2020 | Mediaite

Fox News scored across-the-board ratings victories on Wednesday, with its programs ranking in the top six programs on cable news.

The network’s success was propelled by massive audience interest in President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force briefing, which was broadcast live during Fox’s Special Report with Bret Baier. The 6 p.m. show pulled in nearly 5.9 million total viewers, 1,257 million in the advertiser-coveted adults 25-54 demo, making it the top-ranked show on cable news for the evening.

According to Nielsen data, in prime time, Fox News’s Hannity and Tucker Carlson Tonight came in first and second, with the former edging the latter in total viewers (5.007 million vs. 4.906 million) but with Carlson eking out a lead over Hannity in the 25–54 demo (937,000 vs. 911,000).

Trump praised de blasio?

He’s a master at dampening the msm’s attacks and making enemies so great things about him.

Like that mook governor in CA, who has said a number of good things about Trump...Trump left him no choice really. Smart

Only an IDIOT of a mayor would hit back after the President says something good about you.

So I’m giving de blasio 50/50 :)

Since I’m encouraging New Yorkers to go on with your lives + get out on the town despite Coronavirus, I thought I would offer some suggestions. Here’s the first: thru Thurs 3/5 go see “The Traitor” @FilmLinc. If “The Wire” was a true story + set in Italy, it would be this film.

Trump's attitude is positive. He is honest. He praises those who deserve praise and is frank about those who do not, often explaining why. He does not expect or demand that people be perfect.

He is a man of towering intelligence and puissance.

He is also profoundly moral. Those who don't see it don't want to see it.

For the last week, they have been switching back to themselves shortly after the President leaves the room. Cspin1 always carries the entire briefing.

Trump pence have a great thing going. Trump crucifies the female governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer and then sends Pence to go call her to calm her ass down. So brilliant.

I believe you. I mean I agree with you. I look forward to his press conferences. The man sleeps very little and I’m sure he’s working extremely hard on this.
Once this is all over I, wonder what the world is going to do to China or with China. I know I will never buy anything made in China again it’s either made in the USA, made it in Canada, or made in Mexico. Or somewhere else in Latin America. Or made in India or Africa. Anywhere but China LOL

Yeah. That was a dick move. I watched her video and it was truthful and not even over the top at all. There must have been other reasons and they finally got her. We have no idea how these people are behind the scenes.

And following this evidence that America wants to watch the chinavirus news breifing, Faux news, cuts away on Friday so that nitwit blond bitch can smile and preen. What a bunch of morons.

If you had a GUARANTEED RATINGS WINNER, would you piss off your viewers by not showing what has been proven to be a a top viewer draw?

FNC execs are trying to hurt Trump. Period.

This pandemic crisis has brought the obvious to light, even in some of the dimmest minds: the USA must not be dependent on other countries for vital necessities.

Donald Trump is a man of heroic proportions.

Many lack the wit--or the honesty--to see this, but to the honest, intelligent, benevolent, and wise it is obvious and has always been.

I suspect it's done to mark the article so it can be found easier. Any comment, i.e. bttt, ping, l8r, puts the post on ones comment page, thereby making it easy to locate for reading at a more convenient time.
