Fake News again from teh leftist MSM. NBC announced that the total viewers were 16.1 million, down 26% from last year- but noted it was loose numbers and would be rounded up when the data was in. At the Same Time Nielson shows 37.2 million viewers watching the 2020 SOTU... up from last years 26.5 million viewers.
yet another MSM source says:
The Nielsen company estimated that 37.2 million people saw the president Tuesday night, for a speech widely seen as the kickoff to his reelection campaign.
Last year's speech had 46.8 million viewers.
Only one major network saw an increase over last year, and that was Fox News Channel.
An estimated 11.6 million people watched Pres. Trump speak on Fox News, more than double any other network.
More lies from the MSM to cover up for it's DNC masters... you have to search for the Nielson site- as Google will not bring up their results- only the MSMs coverage of it.
