Fake news?

quote:

Hollywood Reporter: “President Donald Trump made his first big televised appearance from the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday night, addressing a joint session of Congress and blanketing the Big Four and the cable news networks for more than an hour.”
“The event predictably topped the night’s few other telecasts, grossing just more than 43 million viewers on eight networks airing coverage between 9 and 10:15 p.m. ET. On par with early metered market stats, a cumulative 27.8 overnight rating among households, it’s still a ways off from President Barack Obama’s first joint sessions meeting — or even his first State of the Union. Compared to Obama’s first address in 2009, Trump’s pull is down by 17 percent.

This melt is not healthy. If I liked you I'd be worried, but I don't

Like this matters.

Liberals are too sensitive to watch him speak. Thus the decline, while conservatives would still watch Obama speak even if we disliked him

So the first black president drew more views than another old, white guy? I'm shocked, I tell you.

Not what i heard. I heard it was the highest rated speech of that type in the history of cable news.

Hey Toddy, are you still white knighting for Keith Ellison & DWS?

2009 viewing habits do not equal 2017

The internet and streaming services are way more popular and accessible. How do you measure that?
I streamed on YouTube.

I rate this True, but highly misleading.

Sports, network TV, the oscars, political speeches are all down.

Yet, everbody wants to assume most of these are due to something political.

But maybe it's because people are watching TV using non-traditional methods. It just can't be.

I'm not surprised. First black president who's a phenomenal orator vs old white dude.

Not surprised. And I say that as a Trump supporter.

As the Grove Burns.

You have more pressing issues instead of your hatred of your President.

There's a simple explanation for this. Conservatives are more open minded, more tolerant than liberals. We tuned in to listen to Obama 2009 to hear what he had to say and to give him a chance. The average conservative is fair minded. The average liberal isn't, and therefore wasn't interested in even hearing what Trump had to say.
