GOP Had Fewer First Night Viewers Than Democrats

[RandySF]

“The first night of the Republican National Convention was down a touch in total viewership on the first night of the Democratic National Convention,” Variety reports.

“Across the three broadcast networks, the RNC night 1 drew around 4.9 million total viewers, a 14% drop from last Monday’s DNC first night which drew 5.7 million.”

“The fuller ratings picture for the RNC night 1 will become clearer later in the day when the cable news numbers will also be factored in.”

1. Which network in Russia carried it?

All of them?

2. I taped it.

For the next time I do acid.

4. Stay away from the brown acid! And don't do Trump and acid at the same time.

That could lead to a really bad trip!

3. This will offend trumpy it's either fake news or letting those other guys talk

Maybe trump should just talk every day the entire time. That sounds like a good idea.

5. Indeed, Sir

He will conclude that is because there was not enough Donald on the screen, and consider what you suggest the remedy....

8. Betting days 2 and 3 will be less.

They got the curious viewer and some Democrats/Indies yesterday. Doubt they show for tonight and tomorrow. The last day may draw more back in, if only to see Trump implode.

6. A bit premature

Ratings were moderately lower on the three broadcast networks... but that's not where most republicans would be viewing.

Conversely... TheHill reports much higher viewership on C-SPAN's stream... but again, is that were Democrats watch?

Insufficient data.

7. So 14% is considered a "touch"?

Of the other 86% how many were Dems tuning in to watch the train wreck?

Don't give the fuckers views. Watch the highlights instead.
