Down 18% in both total day and primetime viewership from Q2 2018 to 531,000 and 761,000, CNN was 15th in total day and eighth in primetime on all of cable. Not a single one of the WarnerMedia-owned net’s shows made it into the cable news Top 20. Cuomo Prime Time was the most watched CNN show, sitting at No. 25 among cable newser offerings.
Szó szót, sértés sértést követett, mígnem végül augusztus közepén, amikor a CNN benyújtotta akkreditációs igényét a fehér házi tudósítójának, azt a hivatal elutasította, mondván: Karem “zavaróan és szakszerűtlenül viselkedett”, “megsértette az elnök vendégeit”, valamint “szóban inzultálta” Gorkát.
Az újságíró napokon belül pert indított a kitiltása miatt, amelyet kedden egy washingtoni bíróság le is zárt, Karemnek adva igazat. Így a Fehér Ház újabb, újságírókat megrendszabályozni hivatott kísérlete bukott el.
Trump ‘almost brilliant’ in trying to time China deal closer to election, snipes ex-diplomat Published Wed, Aug 28 2019 10:27 AM EDTUpdated Wed, Aug 28 2019 12:51 PM EDT (CNBC)
President Donald Trump could be “playing a waiting game” when it comes to striking a trade deal with China to help his reelection bid, former U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus told CNBC on Wednesday.
“Let’s not forget, Donald Trump is, in a certain sense, very smart. Almost brilliant. And maybe in the back of his mind he’s going to wait a little bit,” Baucus said. “Then the stock market is going to zoom up. It will rocket up, and maybe help him get reelected.”
Trump is “playing a waiting game. I have a hunch that’s in the back of his mind,” contended Baucus, a diplomat during former President Barack Obama’s administration. He’s also a Democratic former senator from Montana.
The escalating U.S.-China trade war has sent financial markets falling and soaring on nearly every headline. Wall Street is showing increasing concern over Trump’s latest plan for tariffs on more Chinese goods and higher rates on existing duties. The president’s Friday tariff announcement sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 623 points. The Dow recovered a bulk of those losses on Monday, only to fall back again Tuesday.
Hopefully the markets begin “to understand” Trump and ease up on the volatility, Baucus said on “Squawk Box. ” “They’re beginning to realize that all of this rhetoric from the president isn’t really getting the result.”
Baucus said he’s not sure how long the world’s two largest economies can hold off before striking a deal. “The question is how long can he wait until something else goes south?”
Anyone with a significant market in China, especially farmers, are losing share they won’t get back, Baucus said. That could lead to lost votes for Trump, he also posited.
A White House spokesman was not immediately available to respond to Baucus’ comments.
