President Donald Trump’s Wednesday night town hall propelled CNN to score its best ratings in years.
The Democrats and other pundits in the corporate media are furious with CNN for doing a town hall with Trump.
Media analyst Brian Stelter broke down the numbers: “CNN’s town hall with Donald Trump averaged 3.1 million total viewers.
“The event outrated Fox and MSNBC, as expected, but these are not 2015/16 level numbers for Trump — not even close.
“In the key 25- to 54-year-old demo, the town hall averaged 703,000, about five times higher than CNN’s typical performance at 8 pm.”

Charlie Kirk said: “Lol, CNN ended the town hall with Trump early.
“Biggest ratings they’ve had in years and they tapped out.
“They know he can win.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said:
“I’m so proud of President Trump tonight, GREAT JOB!
“He is truly showing everyone why he is the president America needs.
“He is doing a town hall with CNN, who has attacked him more than anyone.
“Biden won’t even talk, can’t even talk to the press.
“But President Trump loves this country and is showing he’s willing to fight for it.”

As Slay News reported, AOC was outraged with CNN but ratings don’t lie.
“CNN should be ashamed,” AOC said.
“They have lost total control of this ‘town hall’ to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim.
“The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.
“This falls squarely on CNN.
“Everyone here saw exactly what was going to happen.”
