Bari Weiss's CBS Erika Kirk Town Hall Falters In the Ratings, Way Behind Kirk's Fox News Appearances

(Mediaite) A town hall between CBS Editor in Chief Bari Weiss and Erika Kirk stumbled in the ratings, falling far behind Kirk’s appearances on Fox News.

The heavily-promoted Saturday town hall drew 1.9 million viewers, according to Nielsen data. That represents an 11% decline for the year-to-date average for that hour of 8 pm EST. It also marked a 41% decline in the key demo of 25-54, bringing in 265,000.

It wasn’t all bad news for CBS. The drawing marked a 32% increase in season-to-date ratings in the time period, as well as a 19% upward shot in the 25-54 demo.

And Erika sounded crazy. Erica really needs to get some counseling for her grief instead of parading across every right wing propaganda channel.

Beri was so fawning, kissing up delicately to Erika. Bari sounding more like pedo Trump's press secretary than an interviewer; giving the crazy woman every chance to spout every right wing talking point.

What a shitty little circus act.

She flits from show to show, in heavy makeup, using her widowhood for her big break into tv

And switched stations and have no regrets. I got to see that question that caused her to flounder and that was good enough for me. Bye!
