Was Biden Speech Just a Publicity Stunt? Appears So
TTN Staff
Joe Biden’s divisive speech where he attacked Republicans as extremists could have been just a gift for this left-wing alliances in the media who are desperate for ratings.
Mediaite reports:
… Joe Biden’s speech condemning “MAGA Republicans,” which was aired in full on CNN and MSNBC Thursday night, brought a boost to the networks’ ratings.
CNN drew 1.54 million total viewers and 302,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic in the 8 p.m. hour, while MSNBC drew 2.37 million total viewers and 259,000 in the demo.
Fox News did not air the speech live (though Tucker Carlson railed against Biden while a box of the president on mute aired at the bottom corner of the screen) but still beat both CNN and MSNBC, drawing 2.89 million total viewers and 428,000 in the demo. Those numbers were down from Carlson’s ratings the prior Thursday night.
The media bump for far-left MSNBC and CNN could have been one of the reasons Biden decided to make the divisive speech, despite claiming to want “unity.”
