The Nielsen company says an estimated 23.5 million Americans watched Super Tuesday election returns on six networks at 10 p.m. EST Tuesday.
During that hour, the top three broadcast networks had election specials, while CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC continued with their extensive coverage of returns that left Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump closer to their party nominations for president.
Nielsen says NBC averaged 5.7 million viewers at that hour. CBS had 5 million, Fox News Channel had 4.6 million, CNN had 3.9 million, ABC had 2.3 million and MSNBC had just under 2 million.
Between 8 and 11 p.m. EST, Fox News had 4.9 million viewers, CNN had 4.1 million and MSNBC had 2 million.

You neglected to include Newsmax (channel 349 DirectV) .
How many of viewers are finding this INTEGRAL voice to be acknowledged in gaining political insight?
The political talking heads who recognize America’s deterioration under current authority & provide positive feedback for the candidates of the moral minority who desire positive change for ALL American Citizens, NOT JUST THE ELITE & ENTITLED.

Hillary should be in Jail. Maybe it will now happen. Let’s pray to God it does. America can’t take another Clinton. She would be worst than the President we now have.

She should be put away but she is above the law like so many in government these days. Our nation is in serious trouble when actions like hers go unpunished as usual.
