Harris-Walz interview delivers CNN a ratings slam dunk

Source: Salon

Published August 30, 2024 6:51PM (EDT)

Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s first televised interview since becoming the Democratic nominees gave CNN a huge ratings boom.

The interview, airing on the cable network and online on Max, drew in an average of 5.987 million viewers during its 45-minute run, per Nielsen data, trouncing programming on rival networks Fox News and MSNBC, which drew fewer viewers combined.

The ratings bump was CNN’s second major programming event of the summer, after a presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, which drew 47.9 million viewers, a 20-year debate low.

Harris and Walz were touring rural Georgia on a campaign bus Thursday following the Democratic National Convention, during which Harris saw a ratings victory, drawing in 26.2 million viewers to her acceptance speech, nearly a million more than Trump’s RNC address.

Dana Bash and her pathetic Trump talking points disguised as questions of substance inadvertently did more than provide a network slam dunk....it exposed the exact reason why CNN is sliding into irrelevancy...

They were also exposed for gotcha journalism, that is only practiced on Democrats and never on the R's. Overall I think this hurt thei network's image and they and Danna Bash were exposed for being slanted for the right. So shameful!
