Yesterday’s cable news ratings aren’t in yet, but Monday’s are and they paint a bleak picture for Sean Hannity.
On Monday, the night before Donald Trump’s arrest and arraignment, Hannity finished fourth among Fox News shows for the evening.
Even worse: He was beaten by Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.
Hannity’s 2.469 million viewers wasn’t enough to overcome Maddow’s very liberal 2.515 million. Maybe if he weren’t spouting fiction, he’d do better.
Maddow handily took Hannity, Brett Baier and Laura Ingraham. She also pulled up the numbers for MSNBC shows hosted by Ari Melber, and Lawrence O’Donnell.
Hannity has been posting low numbers for weeks now, not able to much above 2.5 million at all, and nowhere near his old 3 million. He and other Fox News anchors have lost major credibility since it was revealed in the Dominion-Fox lawsuit that they lied about January 6th to their viewers.
The top three cable “News” shows on Monday were Tucker Carlson, The Five, and Jesse Watters. The latter two are essentially comedy shows — without laughs. The first one is entertainment for the mentally impaired.
