CNN fires back at Trump on inauguration ratings winner

 

 

 CNN late Wednesday fired back late Tuesday at President Trump, who said more people tuned in to watch his inauguration on Fox News than "FAKE NEWS" CNN. 

“According to Nielsen cumulative numbers, 34 million people watched CNN’s inauguration day coverage on television. 34 million watched Fox News,” read the message tweeted from CNN Communications. “There were an additional 16.9 million live video starts on CNN Digital platforms. Those are the facts.”Earlier this week, Trump's press secretary defended his claim that Trump had the largest inauguration audience ever.
Sean Spicer argued that Trump had “the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe.”
“It's unquestionable,” Spicer said, doubling down on his initial claim, though not providing specific numbers.
“And I don't see any numbers that dispute that when you add up attendance, viewership, total audience in terms of tablets, phones, on television. I'd love to see any information that proves that otherwise.”
