Ratings for one night, or one event, do not matter. Tuck got about as high ratings as CNN did with the Trump town hall every night on FOX. Every single night. That is what sells ads and Tuck would have made Fox a mint if many advertisers had not left his show. I think CNN made the right choice to have Trump on the channel, but it should have been a pre-recorded event. That would not have gotten such high ratings as a live show would, but a lot better rating for the truth. A one time rating spike does little for CNN.
Yes I agree CNN probably should have hosted the show but the Ausience should have been representative of the American Political spectrum and they should not have been implored to only applaud and not boo when they feel like doing so
While the was 3.3 million who watched the CNN Town Hall, here's what other Americans were watching on the major outlets at 8:00 pm:
ABC - Jeopardy Masters - 5.4m
CBS - Survivor - 4.8 m
NBC - Chicago Med - 5.5m
FOX - Masked Singer - 3.5m
Turner Sports - NBA Playoff - 4.4m
So Trump garnered from the American public watching the largest watched show about 12% of that viewing public.
Good point, it is easy to forget that top cable ratings are often at the bottom of top broadcast network ratings.

I agree with your intentions, but Trump crowds are like WWE audiences...where's the red meat?
Absolutely agree on the pre-recording. I can't imagine any other media outlet conducting such a pep rally disgrace.
How about some insight into how no one showed up to see the orange one in Iowa.
And then as usual he lied that it was due to bad weather.....
