The Gillibrand townhall at CNN got so bad ratings that Fox News obliterated them:
CCNN’s town hall with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) attracted 491,000 viewers on Tuesday night, the lowest among the 2020 presidential hopefuls who have done the event at the network.
The rating for the live event, which was hosted by “Outfront” anchor Erin Burnett, was lower than a CNN town hall for Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), which drew nearly two million viewers.
Among other 2020 hopefuls, a CNN town hall in February with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) drew 1.17 million viewers, while Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) attracted 929,000 viewers for his CNN event last month.
WOW. That is pretty bad. But not as pathetic as Gillibrand against Fox:
The Gillibrand town hall also drew lower ratings that competing cable news networks in the same time slot, with Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle” attracting 2.38 million total viewers to win the hour.
MSNBC’s “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” was second for the time slot with 1.86 million viewers.
That. Is just sad.
