Piers Morgan Slapped by RuPaul in Ratings

-By Warner Todd Huston

Despite his opportunistic, nightly campaign against the Constitution of the United States of America, CNN’s Pierce Morgan’s ratings still aren’t so hot. In fact, even RuPaul beat him earlier this week!

RuPaul, whose real name is Andre Charles, is a well-known female impersonator and recently started season five of his show “RuPaul’s Drag Race” on cable network Logo TV.

Interestingly, RuPaul’s antics apparently drew more viewers than CNN’s Morgan did during the rating period for Monday, January 28.

A Wednesday Tweet by Internet giant Matt Drudge noted that RuPaul earned 565,000 viewers to Morgan’s 545,000.

The Logo TV network gears its programming to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community and is said to appear in but 41 million American homes. By contrast, CNN counts an audience of over 100 million U.S. homes not to mention more than 890,000 American hotel rooms and airport terminal screens from coast to coast.
