Fox News is losing the ratings war in cable now that Donald Trump has had his 4th indictment.
After winning prime time on Monday when the story broke, MSNBC kept up the fight on Tuesday.
Ari Melber made toast of the Fox competition, beating Bret Baier at 6pm and just falling short of tying Laura Ingraham at 7pm. Melber’s Roger Stone scoop (see video) was the hot story of the night.
At 8pm, Chris Hayes took Jesse Watters by a nose. But Hayes did win, Watters — an utter disgrace — lost.
Sean Hannity at Fox and Alex Wagner at MSNBC were also very close at 9pm, Rachel Maddow’s spot. Maddow has done everything to build up Wagner, and it’s worked.
Lawrence O’Donnell at 10pm on MSNBC easily took Greg Gutfeld. The latter is a not funny comedian, O’Donnell is an erudite thinker. At 11, a million Fox News viewers either go to sleep or realize they’ve been asleep all night.
As the indictments keep coming– a fifth, in Arizona, is likely — MSNBC will have the advantage of actually reporting the news and facts, and not fantasies.
