Earlier today, I wrote about how the first night of the Democrats' convention was uncommonly boring and that no one other than a true believer could sit through the whole thing. Now the ratings are out and they confirm my judgment. Ratings for the first night of the convention are down by about 50% from where they were four years ago. There was no contest in 2016; Hillary had it wrapped up. There was no contest in 2020; Biden has it wrapped up. Still, the fall off in viewing is staggering. Total viewership on NBC, CBS and ABC combined was under six million people.
Tonight, there may be a further fall off in viewers. Why watch some minor Democrats and a has been like Bill Clinton make a speech?
