Chris Wallace’s new CNN show is called Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? but they should change it to Who’s Watching Chris Wallace?
Of course, the answer to that question is, not many people.
Wallace just had his worst ratings month since the launch of his new CNN show. People are not tuning in.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Former Fox News host Chris Wallace sees worst ratings month since CNN move
Former Fox News anchor Chris Wallace’s prime-time CNN venture saw its worst ratings month since its launch.
In January, CNN’s Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? averaged just 365,000 viewers. Only 48,000 of them were in the coveted 25- to 54-year-old demographic, according to Nielsen data.
On Sunday, the show’s last airing of January, it averaged 323,000 viewers and 38,000 in the 25-54 demographic.
There are amateur YouTubers who get vastly more viewers than Chris Wallace.
Since joining CNN, Wallace has really let his liberal colors fly. He is now a big fan of Nancy Pelosi, apparently.
From NewsBusters:
This came in the second half of the Wallace interview. He came out of commercial insisting “Whether you agree with her politics or not, there is no denying Nancy Pelosi has been one of the most effective politicians in Washington for the last two decades. I picked up our conversation asking the former speaker how she’s done it.”
You can tell that Alexandra Pelosi’s dearest-mommy documentary is clearly part of the Pelosi PR packet, as Alexander was featured heavily in the Maureen Dowd puff piece in Sunday’s New York Times. Wallace played a clip of Pelosi playing hardball with a Democrat as they passed “Obamacare” in 2010. Then Wallace played a clip of Pelosi talking in the documentary about never tiring in a negotiation.
Watch:
You have to wonder why he is even bothering with the show.
