Fox News criticized CNN anchor Jake Tapper, connecting his book tour for "Original Sin" with a significant decline in his ratings, marking the lowest viewer count in nearly a decade. Tapper's show, The Lead, lost 25% of its audience compared to last year, averaging only 525,000 viewers, while competitors Fox News and MSNBC significantly outperformed it. Despite these statistics, a CNN spokesperson pointed out that Tapper's program reaches audiences beyond traditional ratings, including on international platforms and streaming services. Meanwhile, Tapper's book achieved commercial success, debuting at number one on the New York Times Bestseller List.
Tapper's recent book promotion efforts coincide with a notable decline in his viewer ratings, drawing the ire of Fox News and sparking a debate around his audience impact.
Despite the criticism, Tapper's book, co-authored with Alex Thompson, has still achieved success, as evidenced by its debut at number one on the New York Times Bestseller List.
