Last night doesn't seem to pass the business logic test, for me.
Advertisers aren't going to pay higher buy rates because of a one off ratings bump, some advertisers might avoid buys because they want to distance themselves from this event, and the Faux viewers only watched CNN last night because it was the only channel covering it.
I don't think the reward of a one night ratings bump justified the risk.
Seems an awful business decision.
