Fox News's coverage of President Trump's Senate impeachment trial saw a dramatic rise in viewership when it was time for the president's legal team to start its defense.
Trump's team began a three-day defense of the president on Saturday, and 4.2 million people tuned in to watch it on Fox News, according to Nielsen Media Research. The network also recorded more than 750,000 viewers in the key 25-54 age demographic, marking the largest audience for any day of the trial on any of the cable television networks and surpassing Fox's coverage on the first day of the trial.
Before Saturday's coverage, the most watched day of the trial on any network was last Tuesday. Fox News saw 2.6 million viewers and 431,000 in the key demographic that day, which was the first day of the trial. Saturday's ratings, however, beat out their Tuesday coverage by more than 1.5 million viewers. During the three days in which the House impeachment managers laid out their case for removing the president from office, Fox News had an average of 1.6 million people tuning in.

People need to email or call Collins, Romney, Murkowski, Gardner and Alexander demanding no witnesses. I did for what it's worth.
ReplyDeleteOf course Fox ratings go up for the defense. They are actually showing it. I had to watch other channels to see the house case presented since Fox avoided showing it live. Shame they don’t even trust their own viewers.

I totally understand ever aspect of the Democrats wrongful actions by Comey and others on exactly what took place. It was hard to follow when all the Democrats did was yell Trump is a traitor, he lies. Listening to Trump's Defense team told the true story.
ReplyDeleteBecause the American people want to hear the truth and not more fables from the demoncrats.
