'60 Minutes' Nabs Bigger Audience Than Trump's Sunday Night Briefing on 3 Cable News Networks

’60 Minutes’ Nabs Bigger Audience Than Trump’s Sunday Night Briefing on 3 Cable News Networks
Nearly 9.9 million people tuned into the CBS newsmagazine, while a combined 9.0 million watched POTUS’ briefing

President Donald Trump may have hoped to upstage “60 Minutes” with a last-minute televised coronavirus briefing on Sunday night, but the CBS newsmagazine drew a bigger audience.

“60 Minutes,” which included a critical report from Scott Pelley on the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. economy, scored 9.855 total million viewers on Sunday from 7 to 8 p.m. ET — just ahead of the 9.03 million who tuned in for the first hour of Trump’s live press briefing on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News combined, according to Live + Same Day data from Nielsen.

We should note here that comparing broadcast and cable networks’ TV ratings is tricky, since broadcast reaches more people than subscription-based cable. And comparing the numbers put up by a broadcast show like “60 Minutes” to a presidential press conference airing across multiple cable news channels is harder still.

He knows NOTHING, and spouts off about how great he is. I can not stand the "man" The gop should be ashamed of the support they have given to this lunatic. He is responsible for thousands of deaths in this country, by inaction when he KNEW what was coming. It did not deter him from his golfing, or rallies. He is a disgrace not just to this country, but to the human race. An overgrown, orange, bloated, ignorant child. I LOATHE him and his entire grifting family, with a burning passion.

Promoting propaganda instead of the truth is corrupt , and exposes his true intentions are to protect trump , not the American people. Don't listen to him , just watch what he's doing . Its always for him , always he's the victim, always claims others are lying , and corrupt. Never him. All while people are dying from is refusals to act , and after knowing. it would cause that to happen. His supporters are dying to, exposing him as a fraud more than ever now.

In northern New England, it's only on 5.3, Me tv only shows reruns of old tv shows

So it's appropriate

ABC, NBC and CBS not showing it anymore, just noticed this week, was turning it off when it came on
