On Monday night, CNN broadcast an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris in primetime. You might normally expect an interview with the Veep in the heat of an election year to draw some eyeballs, but once the ratings reports came out we learned that wasn’t the case at all. The broadcast’s ratings weren’t simply lower than expected. They were simply abysmal. The interview only averaged 332,000 in total viewers and just 72,000 in the coveted 25-54 demographic. We hear plenty of jokes these days about the majority of CNN’s audience being located in airport waiting areas, but I’m fairly sure there were more than 72,000 adults in the nation’s airports Monday night.
We can’t place the blame entirely on Kamala, however. CNN’s ratings for the entire week were down across the board. As the NY Post reveals, they were beaten out by a network I’d never even heard of that…
