People are turning off CNN in droves.
The network’s ratings plummeted last week, hitting a historic low for the proclaimed “most trusted name in news.”
CNN “averaged only 444,000 viewers” from Feb. 7 – 13, marking its lowest ratings in since November 2015 Fox News, reports.
Even during CNN’s primetime broadcasts, the network averaged 491,000 viewers.
Fox News trounces CNN’s ratings by 385 percent, with Tucker Carlson garnering an average of 3.5 million viewers in Fox’s primetime slot.
The left-wing network has lost 90 percent of its viewers in the past year amid the network’s constant stream of deceptive news coverage and a cascade of high-profile scandals.

aww so sad!
I’m weeping! really...
The amazing part is that with all the old people demonicRAT governors have killed in nursing homes over the last two years there are still enough let to constitute a drove.
The major shareholder of CNNs new owner is John Malone a big Trump Supporter, this would be a great opportunity for the new owner to get rid of everyone at CNN, start over and be more conservative than Fox and unapologetic about it
Has Fox’s viewership expanded? I keep thinking they have a static audience and is daily singing to the choir, not expanding the flock.
Yet, they continue to ignore the Clinton manufactured (with the help of Obama) Russian collusion scandal. They are going into the negative ratings if FOX keeps up the Hillary did it theme.
“Chris Wallace”
What took Fox so long with Wallace? Was his embarrassingly biased for Biden debate moderator display the final straw?
Wrong way to look at it.
CNN is averaging under 500,000 per day while Tucker is flying high with over 3 1/2 million every night. And Fox is trouncing CNN by 385 percent.
CNN is down 90 % since last year and Tucker has managed to keep most of his ratings from last year, even if everyone loses some ratings after an election year.
President Trump should never agreed to that interview with Wallace as host.
Used to watch CNN when they had Pat Buchanan, Robert Novak, and later Tucker Carlson on Crossfire. Smart guys who could debate and make points. Now they give you a little bit of Republican lite, Chris Christie, Republican RINO consultants, Michael Smerconish. They’ve become unwatchable for anyone to the right of Marx.
And it’s not just the opinions. Fox comes off as a more professional product than CNN or MSNBC - better television.
I think Fox had a contract period with Wallace, and when it came to the end....they weren’t going to offer anything. He was just supposed to ‘go/retire’.
It’s gotten like professional baseball, where owners are stupid to sign a long-term contract with a player, only to find ten years later that the player is just not productive.
“owners are stupid to sign a long-term contract with a player”
Thought my Reds were with Joey Votto but he rebounded last year. And now baseball looks like it is going to stupidly follow one full season after a 60 game COVID season with a lockout-shortened season.
I think there is a real opening for an unapologetic conservative network, sort of like OAN or Breitbart with teeth
Who watches t anymore anyway.
It’s only one person who can save CNN is Donald J Trump. He said it without me their numbers will implode. Once again he was right.
But they have lots of friends in the Chinese politburo.
Trump curse strikes again.
Not the far left obviously. Dementia Joe + CNN make them reach for crack.
