David Muir's 'World News Tonight' viewership drops 12% following ABC presidential deb
Quote:Following the September 10 debate between presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, ABC’s World News Tonight anchor David Muir, who served as one of the two moderators, has seen his viewership drop.
According to Fox News, the show averaged 6.7 million viewers on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, which were the three episodes immediately following the debate. Before the debate, his show was averaging 7.6 million viewers.
While Muir’s show remains the number one broadcast evening newscast, the 12 percent drop in viewers is more than the slight declines seen for CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News when comparing the three episodes that aired after the debate.
Muir and co-moderator Linsey Davis were criticized for fact-checking Trump on stage numerous times while not issuing any for Harris. The 2024 GOP presidential candidate said the debate "was one against three," adding that "every one" of Harris’ claims "should have been questioned by David Muir, who I've lost a lot of respect for. Everyone's lost respect for him."
Since the debate, Davis said in an interview that she had decided in advance to fact-check Trump due to the debate staged between him and President Joe Biden in June, which resulted in Biden dropping out of the race. "People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not [be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators," she said.
A post-debate poll from YouGov found that 35 percent of Americans believed that the moderators treated Trump unfairly, including 41 percent of independents, a key voting group to win over before November. Only two percent of independents thought that the moderators were unfair to Harris.

Good.... Very good.
If the collusion thing ever proves out, I hope the masses take it out on all of ABC's show's and not just Muir's broadcasts.

Wow, a conclusion reached after 3 whole days.
Meanwhile his show had the most viewers to begin with and still does...and both the other networks also saw declines in viewership.
I'd probably wait until this weeks numbers are out before spiking any orange footballs.

Less people will see him read the CIA script, and they’ll switch over to someone else reading the CIA script.
Unless they find a new source of information, it doesn’t matter who watches him or any others.
Right or left, it’s all the same garbage that only aims to control.

Yes. He’s a shill for the DNC. He knows his bosses will continue to get funded regardless of ratings. Why do you think ABC still employs Jimmy Kimmel.

He may NOT, but his bosses are feeling what is called a rap to their groin with a hoe handle. Not good. Tens of millions of $$$ are disappearing before their eyes.

That's a big drop considering the evening news aint what it once was. I mean, there are no more Cronkites.
Before this debate was set up, I couldn't have even told you what that guy's name was.
