Monday was a very good night for Rachel Maddow and MSNBC.
After the first day of Donald Trump’s fraud trial in New York. Maddow wrecked Sean Hannity at 9pm with 2,700 viewers — seven hundred thousand more than Sean Hannity.
MSNBC won the night in total viewers vs Fox News, which edged them out in the age demo.
All night MSNBC beat Fox News starting with Maddow in total viewers. Early in the evening, Neil Cavuto was handed his hat by Nicolle Wallace. The next three MSNBC shows fell to Fox but not by much.
I should point out that last Friday, Ari Melber had one of his highest rated nights with 1.7 million viewers – nice work. He beat Bret Baier by a whisker and made for one his best showings of the year.
Maddow, it’s hoped, will be on the air more during this trial as MSNBC delivers the actual facts while Fox News is busy complaining about Hunter Biden or Hillary’s emails or something else irrelevant. Donald Trump is likely to lose his livelihood in this trial, something Fox News — especially Hannity — doesn’t want to face.
