Jason Easley / POLITICUSUSA: Trump's Convention Flops As Biden DNC Drew 3 Million More Viewers — Another troubling sign for Trump as night one of the Republican convention drew 3.2 million fewer viewers than night one of the DNC. — Via The LA Times: …
The following are the reasons I do not believe the above report :
C-SPAN released numbers for the opening night of both the DNC and RNC. To wit, 76,000 watched the C-SPAN YouTube production of the DNC's first night compared to 475,000 for the RNC.
Secondly, the sheer bias of the Times reporting as expressed in this excerpt:
"Trump’s convention lacks star power. Night one of Biden’s convention was
closed by Michelle Obama, while the best that Trump could come up was a
laughably terrible Donald Trump Jr., and the immediately forgettable Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC)."
As to Michelle Obama's "star power," (referenced in the article) that is solely due to media hype. 'nuff said on that point.
Finally, Fox numbers recorded more viewers than the other three cable networks combined.
Align these facts and you have reason to doubt the Times article.
