Former President Trump's exit from the White House coincided with a slump in ratings for cable news channels and digital news sites, according to a Washington Post analysis.
Data from media tracking firm ComScore as well as the Nielsen company indicated drops in traffic across websites for the Post, which lost roughly one-fourth of its monthly web traffic, as well as The New York Times, which lost roughly 17 percent of its traffic over January and February.
In the cable news ratings wars, CNN lost nearly 50 percent of its prime-time audience over the first few months of 2021, according to the Post, while MSNBC lost more than a fourth and Fox News lost just 6 percent, causing CNN to lose its briefly-won ratings dominance for the month of January.

I hope they starve.
“Because it feels so empty without me!”
I’m doing my part. I’m thinking about dumping local news also because they seem to be covering more national news.
As for myself, I haven’t watched a single news program since November 3rd. I like Tucker, I liked to watch his show. He seemed fair minded and even invited guests with opposing views just to get perspective. I appreciated that. Not so much a fan of Hannity he is just way too repetitive. In any case - I can’t stand to listen to anyone at this point. I have devolved into a snarky little monkeyshine on the internet.
No one belives their crap anymore, few even bother to look and I’m one.
Good news about the fake news regurgitating sources!

Maybe a lot of conservatives and so called independents are saying, we don’t believe your fake news anymore.
Same. Makes me sick to watch any of these lying SOB’s. All my news is via FR, Citizenfreepress.com, thenationalpulse.com, americasvoice.news.
But just wait until the embers catch fire under the lawsuits aimed at President Trump! They’ll be back in tall cotton.
For what they have done, following their trial and conviction, they should be sentenced to hang.
it would be ironic if NYT, Wapo, cnn, pmsnbc, etc., had to lay people off because trump left the white house.
wait. you have no knowledge of any current event if it isn’t covered on any of four websites?
I've noticed that too. For my own sanity I'm going all sports, all the time.
Learn to code solar panels.
We already know how the MSM will play attacks on President Trump - they'll lie, use unnamed sources - then finally (when caught lying) print a two line retraction.
MSNBC won't even do that..
Americans are sick of bimbos, airheads, pretentious fops, and toadies puking out 'the news'. I'm not going to watch MSM thugs try to drag Trump through the mud... most of us will turn off even the little bit of 'news' we still watch.
POWer. Use it.
haven’t watched in going on 8 years
My take exactly!
I watch Tucker cause he does good show and only one among the news that actually brings up really good news that you don’t see anywhere else and he is hilarious going after Biden and the administration really using that humiliation tactic.
I also watch Maria Bartiromo and Mark Levin. Gutfeld and Jesse Watters are pretty good but I don’t watch them regularly.
I cut cable and watch movies now and of course Free Republic.
I have devolved into a snarky little monkeyshine on the internet.
C’mon man. Don’t be so hard on yourself. YOU have evolved...broken free from the PROGRAMMING.
