WHO? ABC’s David Muir takes hit to ratings after performance as debate moderator.

by

ABC News’s David Muir experienced a decline in ratings in his flagship show after his controversial performance as one of the moderators of the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Muir was a debate moderator alongside Linsey Davis, frequently fact-checking Trump while failing to do so for Harris. Muir was criticized for disputing the former president’s claim that crime was going up by countering with incomplete data and questioning whether he was being sarcastic or not in a previous interview. The flak Muir took from the experience appears to have taken a toll on his ratings.

According to Fox News, Muir’s ABC World News Tonight ratings fell by 12% after the debate, with an average of 6.7 million viewers on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, compared to an average of 7.6 million before the debate.
