   rump Effect: CNN Ratings Explode After Town Hall
BY TYLER DURDEN
THURSDAY, MAY 11, 2023 - 11:40 AMAs expected, former President Trump's commie-triggering participation in a CNN Town Hall Wednesday sent the beleaguered Fake News Network's ratings sky high.
The evening did not disappoint - with Trump repeatedly steamrolling host Kaitlan Collins at every turn, making fun of his rape accuser's dog (or cat) named "vagina," promising to settle the war in Ukraine "in one day," and then - a crestfallen panel of CNN hosts afterwards with Jake Tapper nearly in tears, and then a panel of voters torching the network in an post-event interview.

Down to the numbers...
According to Mediaite, citing Nielsen Fast National data, CNN scored 3.12 million total viewers - of which a whopping 703,000 were from the coveted 25-54 age demographic.
Fox News came in second place for the night, with 1.412 million viewers, followed by MSNBC, which had 1.372 million. In the 25-54 demo, MSNBC topped Fox with 155,000 vs. 125,000 viewers.
Early data does not reflect the town hall’s full viewership as later numbers will, additionally, both CNN.com and CNN’s apps aired the town live as well, numbers which will be released later in the day. -Mediaite
