All the news networks — cable and otherwise — were talking about the Trump arraignment of course, but CNN and MSNBC, despite all their hyperventilating, still couldn’t come close to besting Fox News:

And if you look closely you’ll see that CNN and MSNBC even changed the title of some of their programming and used all caps.

CNN went with “TRUMP ARREST” for some of their Tuesday programming, while MSNBC opted for “TRUMP INDICTMENT” (via @RoadMN). Meanwhile Tucker Carlson led the pack with about 6.5 million total viewers:
