Anti-Trump media personality Rachel Maddow has seen her ratings drop significantly following the filing of the Mueller report.
According to Fox News:
MSNBC’s biggest star, Rachel Maddow, has been flailing in viewership since Special Counsel Robert Mueller officially concluded his investigation into the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Maddow had seen a rating surge since President Trump took office, offering extensive coverage on the Russia investigation for the past two years. However, her viewership has taken a dive since Mueller handed his report to the Department of Justice last Friday and the Sunday’s release of Attorney General Bill Barr’s letter summarizing the Mueller report that concluded that there was no collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.
“The Rachel Maddow Show” saw an average 13 percent decrease in viewership comparing her ratings Monday through Wednesday this week versus last week — Maddow lost nearly a whopping 500,000 viewers on Monday’s show following the release of Barr’s letter compared to her previous Monday show. She also saw a 15 percent decrease in the 25-52 demo audience.
The MSNBC primetime lineup suffered as a whole this week, averaging 2.46 million viewers versus the 2.83 million from last week.
Trump has not let this opportunity slip away. The president made sure to point out the rating drop for all of the networks who were hoping the president had colluded.
