ABC’s “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir may have driven away some viewers after the Disney-owned network irked conservatives during last week’s presidential debate.
Muir and co-moderator Linsey Davis fact-checked former President Donald Trump five times without ever correcting Vice President Kamala Harris, prompting a plethora of conservatives to suggest the debate wasn’t fair. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America even called for a correction after Davis made an abortion claim made during the debate during one of the fact-checks on Trump that the group said was “100% inaccurate.”
Muir’s “World News Tonight” averaged 6.7 million viewers on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the three episodes following the debate, after averaging 7.6 million in 2024 leading up to the debate.
The 12% drop in viewers for “World News Tonight” is more significant than slight declines “CBS Evening News” and “NBC Nightly News” saw when comparing the three episodes following ABC’s debate to the year-to-date totals, although Muir’s newscast remained the No. 1 broadcast evening newscast.
Good. He deserves his ratings to go down……way down.
Long gone are the days when ABC, CBS, NBC were reporting the news. Now them and many others want to ” BE ” the news. Long gone are the days when they would advertise themselves as ” the most trusted news source “
He and Lindsey Davis did a lousy job at the debate. Well, lousy for Trump anyway. It was so plain to see that Cameltoe knew the questions and the answers. She has never been that quick to answer anything, not even the simplest questions. David and Lindsey both should be fired!
