An Elon Musk appearance powered Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier into the pole position among total viewers, surpassing The Five by a mere 5,000 viewers. That audience spilled over into Laura Ingraham‘s The Ingraham Angle, which posted its biggest total viewer numbers of the week. Erin Burnett OutFront was CNN’s most-watched show, while The Rachel Maddow Show cruised to victory on MSNBC during a night when most of the network’s programs were anchored by fill-ins.
