Clean up on aisle six. Things must be really bad at ABC News. Like, really bad. If you watched the recent debate and you have a functioning frontal cortex in your head, you know there wasn’t a lot of ‘fact checking’ on Kamala Harris. Even CNN called out the apparent hypocrisy. Most viewers saw it too. And that isn’t good for ABC news. Ratings are down. It must be pretty bleak over at ABC and here’s why we can tell. Megyn Kelly knows too. Her observation is spot on.
People who watched the debate were hoping for a fair and balanced program that would highlight the candidate’s policies and differences. That’s the expectation when people watch the news. What happened instead was a wakeup call for viewers. They suddenly came face to face with the realization that ‘news’ was incredibly biased. That’s ultimately good for the health of the nation, to wake up to that hard reality. But it’s bad for ABC. The cat is out of the bag. But just how bad is it? Viewership for ABC news is down. Way down. And as Megyn Kelly noticed, they are in damage control mode all these days later. That would imply incredibly bad internal numbers for viewers. Check out the clip of Megyn Kelly explaining the freefall of ABC news to Dave Rubin on her show.
