The Atlantic’s security breach bombshell story led the cable news cycle on Monday evening. Fox News remained on top, with The Five landing as the most-watched show in total viewers and Gutfeld! leading in the Adults 25-54 demo. The absence of the regular hosts when the explosive story dropped may have affected tune-in numbers on CNN and MSNBC. However, it was interesting to note that CNN’s recently-launched The Arena with Kasie Hunt emerged as the network’s most-watched show in total viewers, while demo viewers flocked to CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, which had John Berman filling in.
