Amazing.
On Thursday night, when the Trump indictment was being read and examined on every cable news show, MSNBC beat Fox News.
Ever more amazing: at 9pm Rachel Maddow substitute Alex Wagner took Sean Hannity by 200,000 viewers with 2.5 million. At 10pm when Maddow joined Lawrence O’Donnell, MSNBC’s numbers went even higher to over 2.6 million..
At the key gateway for the night. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes out classed Fox by 500,000 viewers.
What’s the take away? In a pinch, viewers were looking for what was really happening as opposed to Fox’s fictitious weaving of alternative facts.
And CNN? Anderson Cooper had two times his normal audience, but came in third.
