U.S. President Donald Trump can still be a potent television draw, although in the case of “60 Minutes” this past week, it probably wasn't what he intended.

The 17.4 million people who watched the CBS newsmagazine, featuring interviews with Trump and Democratic opponent Joe Biden, was the show's biggest audience in more than two years, the Nielsen company said. This was despite an angry president releasing an unedited version of his talk with Lesley Stahl on Facebook three days in advance because he didn't like the questions.

Stahl made one reference to the dispute in her introduction, saying “we had prepared to talk about the many issues and questions facing the president, but in what has become an all-too-public dust-up, the conversation was cut short.” It was the biggest “60 Minutes” audience since March 25, 2018, another episode that Trump surely didn't want people to see since it featured an interview with adult film star Stormy Daniels. She alleged she had an affair with Trump, who denied it.

Behind the World Series, Fox was the most popular broadcast network in prime time, averaging 8.2 million viewers. NBC had 5.8 million viewers, ABC had 4.6 million, CBS had 4.4 million, Ion Television had 1.2 million, Univision had 1.1 million, Telemundo had 1 million and the CW had 620,000.

FYI: There is an open FBI investigation into the Bidens, thousands of docs showing they’re in bed with China, a multi-national businessman who’s only donated to Dems saying on the record they’re corrupt and Joe’s involved making millions of dollars. Your jobs will go to China!

Wtf CTV doing biased opinion storys article after article on Trump instead of reporting on Canadas own POS corrupt leader

watch march 29 1990 interview, trump hasn’t changed in 30 years, still walking out on questions he can’t answer truthfully.. POOR ME, the same lines after 30 YEARS!! 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷

No one cares

Awe...... did the big bad lady ask him too many hard questions... poor baby

Bully

Hey fake news why aren’t you covering this

This despicable charade will greatly assist with voting him out!

TonyBobulinski

Nope he just want people to see the real interview

Umm,he encouraged it and scooped them with his own unedited version days prior...dipshits! Stick to fluff pieces about popsicles and unicorns that’s your sweet spot CTV

Not sure he did. Think he wanted you to watch and compare to raw footage. Plays you guys like a fiddle . You missed his point....again

Hell no Dotard!!

You just don't get it. It's an interview. She is supposed to ask a question and to shut up long enough for him to answer. She just wanted to fight. This is very typical of the left wing media for 4 years now. This is why he tweets. To get his message out.

No one watches CTV.

Nothing he does works

JoeBiden son hunter was taking nudes in front of his niece !

Fake news. Trump released the entire video to his 78 million Twitter followers on Thursday, well before 60 Minutes was to air it Sunday. Get ready for 4 more years of winning, winning, winning.

If CBCNews GlobalNational globeandmail TorontoStar wanted to inform Canadians they would run the TonyBobulinsky story. Do you think by not mentioning it you are helping your failing outlets? Great excuse to no longer fund the media.

Good. Everyone should see what a spineless jerk he is!

focus on our scam liberals. you have enough news for years.

TonyBobulinski

You have it backward. He wanted nothing more than for folks to see what passes for journalism these days. ctvnews falls into the same category with this so-called reporting.

Strange, didn't Trump put it out before CTV?

Says the media machine that is an extension of the Liberal and Democrats marketing department

Trump: time in office - done Time destroying America - done Time making Americans look ridiculous - done. Time for his marriage - done Time his family stopped sucking the teats of America - done Time as a free man -done BidenHarris2020

is stupid as stupid does

Trump wanted people to see the evil left which we did CTV is FAKE NEWS

Big baby can’t wait until he gets voted out. I hope Biden has extra security and a bulletproof vest because shits gonna go down and it won’t be pretty.

Idiots. It doesn't matter how many people watched 60 minutes. In fact good, I hope they did. I also hope they watched the unedited version and thought deeply about the comparison.

I think CTV is pissing off some people hehhehe

that's why he released the unedited version 3 days prior to show media bias.....something like what you are doing now

VOTE THIS IDIOT OUT!!!🤞

Biden to campaign in Georgia, Trump targets Midwest with U.S. election one week awayJoe Biden will embark on an aggressive schedule in the coming days as his team looks to stretch the electoral map and open up more paths to 270 electoral college votes Cant wait to see wht Biden says, will it be that hes running for Senate like he stated last week or hes running against Bush its entertaining to say the least not sure how he will run the country when he clearly is suffering from some form of dementia Tragedy of times. A leader who may be forgetful or a leader who stands out front telling blatant lies to excite emotions and appears to do a lot, mostly talking, but accomplished nothing other than a lot of anger. Perhaps better to have someone who may forget but is thoughtful.

Biden goes on offence in Georgia while Trump targets MidwestOne week until Election Day, Joe Biden is going on offence, heading Tuesday to Georgia -- which hasn't backed a Democrat for president since 1992 -- and pushing into other territory where U.S. President Donald Trump was once expected to easily repeat his wins from four years ago. So they still havent did anything to make america great the first time around,now all the dummies hold signs saying make america great again saying that it was never fixed the first time around,dont know what these dummies are wishing for but their going to have a rude awakening. Joe should stay in his basement before he puts his foot in his mouth again. He thinks he's running for Senate, called Trump George? Bush? Washington? Also the biggest voter fraud network? And his running mate can't stop laughing long enough to answer a question clearly. Wow, Biden came out of his basement? Wow. If not for the media the BidenHarris campaign will be in the gutter.
