The ratings are in, and it appears as if Democratic presidential nominee and former US Vice President Joe Biden’s Thursday night town hall attracted more viewers than that of US President Donald Trump, whose program was simulcast across three networks. Early Nielsen television ratings released on Friday revealed Biden attracted 13.9 million total viewers to his town hall on Thursday night, versus Trump’s 13.1 million, Bloomberg reported. While the former vice president’s event was only broadcast via ABC, Trump’s town hall could be viewed on NBC, MSNBC and CNBC. An estimated 73.1 million viewers tuned into the September debate between Biden […]

Recent Israeli surveys have suggested that the PM would get 28 seats in the Israeli parliament if elections were held today. The drop in his popularity can be put down to Netayahu’s purported mishandling of the the pandemic and subsequent economic crisis as well as his government’s unwillingness to adhere to the rules they themselves set. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not see this coming. Signing a historic peace agreement with the United Arab Emirates and a normalisation pact with Bahrain in mid-September, he was certain that this success in foreign affairs would translate into a spike in his popularity at […]
Things are not looking good for Ellen DeGeneres. For years, rumors have swirled that daytime TV’s “kindest” host is actually kind of a nightmare to work with—and this year, former employees spoke out about the show’s alleged behind-the-scenes toxicity in a series of reports that launched a formal investigation, which ended with the removal of three producers. And now that DeGeneres has officially returned to screen—both in her syndicated program and her NBC game show—it appears her viewers have not been quick to follow her back. DeGeneres’ daytime viewership for her first full week back delivered a 29 percent drop in […]
Earlier this week, The Daily Beast reported that President Trump had one thing on his mind heading into his Republican National Convention. The president was telling his closest aides that he was determined to beat his rival Joe Biden in the TV ratings. He was requesting daily ratings for the Democratic National Convention and insisted that his RNC spectacle would demolish their “pathetic” numbers, according to a senior administration official. In the end, apparently not even all of the unethical pomp and circumstance of a Trump-branded White House as the backdrop of his big speech Thursday night could draw more viewers […]
Donald Trump really wanted to go big for his re-nominating convention. Long before the coronavirus pandemic utterly destroyed his vision of a great American “revival” this summer—to be packed with his signature mega-rallies, economic renewal, and an extravagant 2020 Republican National Convention that would show up Joe Biden—the president was planning for yet another evening of being treated as a Republican rock-star while anointed the party standard-bearer. Going back to last year, Trump was getting personally involved in pitching ideas and soliciting pitches for the four-day convention’s garish moments and granular details, according to three people who’ve discussed RNC planning with […]

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway urged President Donald Trump on Friday to resume giving regular coronavirus briefings, claiming his sinking approval ratings on the pandemic will surge if the public hears from him daily on the crisis. Amid a bevy of recent polls showing the vast majority of the American public strongly disapproves of the president’s handling of the virus that’s killed nearly 140,000 Americans, Conway appeared on the president’s favorite morning show Fox & Friends to react to the current surge in coronavirus cases. After Conway brushed off the spike in cases as “hotspot surges” while assuring the Fox audience […]
SÃO PAULO—On the night of June 13, supporters of Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro staged a mock attack on the country’s supreme court. They gathered in the heart of the capital amid its forbidding 1950s-era modern architecture, with Congress behind them and the president’s Planalto Palace on one side. The Three Powers Plaza, as it’s called for the three branches of government represented there, is supposed to be one of the most secure places in the country. “Bolsonaro has been even more willfully ignorant, and a worse example to the public, than Donald J. Trump in the U.S.” Yet the group […]
