Initial Nielsen numbers don’t include MSNBC viewership or time-zone adjustments
And the (ratings) battle of the Thursday town halls goes to…former Vice President Joe Biden and ABC! For now, at least.
On ABC, Biden drew 12.7 million viewers from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. On NBC alone, Trump got 10.4 million viewers in the same time slot.
Including the full 9 o’clock hour for Biden, the ABC event’s viewership average was 12.2 million.
Biden also beat Trump among adults 18-49, with a 2.6 rating to the president’s 1.7 rating.

WNU Editor: I called this one wrong. I expected Trump's ratings to be larger. So where did I go wrong? I underestimated the public's interest in Joe Biden. I have been following Joe Biden closely since he became the lead candidate for the Democrat Presidential nominee. So I have a good idea on who he is and what will a Biden administration look like. Not the case for a lot of Americans, and this was their opportunity to learn more about him.

In SoCal, the local NBC affiliate didn't carry the Trump town hall. Had to search for it on CNBC/MSNBC. The Biden softball session/yawn fest was on the local channel.
are you better off now than you were the day before?
Rush Limbaugh carried the NBC dirty tricks in his 1st hour. If you can mess with the transmission in the 1st 15 minutes that is what counts. People generally tune in the 1st 15 minutes or they do not. So mess with the 1st 15 minutes.
They stack the deck in regards to moderators, so why not with technical difficulties?
2:07 (i.e Troll)
Most people have said they are better off now than 4 years ago.
My advice to you 2:07 is for you to grow a pair.
A new study shows Americans are suffering from insomnia in record numbers.
