Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz Debate Lifts CNN to Ratings Victory Over Fox News
CNN’s debate kicked off at 9 p.m. ET as news regarding President Trump’s executive order blocking travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries was unfolding on Fox News.
Federal appeals court judges were expected to determine whether to restore the travel ban, but more age 25-54 viewers wanted to hear Sanders and Cruz argue about health care instead.
Fox News won the night and the time period among total viewers, as the network has done on a monthly basis since passing CNN in the category back in 2002.
Tuesday was a big day for CNN, as senior White House counselor Kellyanne Conway admitted that the network is not “fake news,” despite the president’s constant attempts to discredit it.
