The two cable news networks both welcomed the former Secretary of State on Tuesday evening, with CNN giving her a full hour and FNC's Bret Baier and Greta Van Susteren sharing a half-hour.

For the half-hour, which aired between 6:45 and 7:15 p.m. ET, FNC averaged a 2 million viewers and 313,000 adults 25-54. For its admittedly very early 5 p.m. Town Hall, CNN pulled 521,000 viewers and 115,000 adults 25-54.
A FNC win in the hour is business is usual. And CNN did simulcast its Town Hall globally on CNN international and CNN en Espanol, so its total haul is likely considerably larger than its domestic take.
True to FNC's aggressive coverage of Clinton's role in the U.S. government's handling of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, much of Clinton's Q&A was spent on the subject. "I know you and your viewers have a lot of questions," she said.
This caps off the heavy portion of Clinton's big book tour for her latest memoir, Hard Choices and since she has remained mum on her presidential prospects, speculation looms about when she'll make a formal announcement about the 2016 race.

(15,071 posts)"journalists" twist everything she says, and where the audience of ignorant, drooling, brainwashed morons get even more fanatical and frenzied when they see her. It just builds their hate.

(31,170 posts)so I am not surprised to see that there were lots of FOX viewers tuned in to hear what she might have to say.
She is seen, by those I've spoken to, as someone who actually wants to solve problems, and while she may differ with these women on many issues, they believe she can, and will get things done. I was surprised to hear it.
