'Fake news never wins,' Trump tweeted, bashing the MSNBC morning show 'Morning Joe' for ratings that he claimed have dropped in the wake of Robert Mueller's report to the attorney general
President Donald Trump chided the MSNBC morning show "Morning Joe" on Thursday morning for ratings that he claimed have dropped in the wake of special counsel Robert Mueller's report to the attorney general, crowing that "fake news never wins."
The former reality TV star frequently harps on ratings, often praising friendly networks like Fox News while pouncing on CNN and MSNBC for their less flattering coverage of him when their ratings dip.Wednesday that on MSNBC programs like host Rachel Maddow's, where the Russia investigation earned breathless coverage nearly every night, ratings for her first show since Attorney General William Barr announced Mueller’s findings dipped 19 percent from her average for this year.
Maddow had only recently overtaken Hannity in the ratings fight for the first time, likely buoyed at least in part by her relentless focus on the Mueller investigation. Cable news ratings are prone to news-related dips, as viewers are more likely to tune in when there are developments that align with their political views and less likely to tune in for less favorable developments.
