CNN's prime-time programs finished fourth and last among the cable news networks in October.

CNN's programs finished behind not only Fox News and MSNBC, but also its own sister network HLN.

I hate flying because the TSA treats us like serfs and prison inmates. The worst thing about airports is CNN. People have figured out ways to turn the tv’s off. CNN is so bad.

[SaxxonWoods]

Time to go more liberal, obviously.

[RocketMan1]

Trying .. trying .. to work up a tear.

Nope. Can’t.

Let me call a Waaambulance.

R.I.P. CNN. It’s pretty sad that pMSNBS has now taken the distaaaaaannnnttt second place to FOX News. It’s pretty sad that you can’t figure out that slanted Leftie news doesn’t get ratings. Boo fricking Hoo!

[Huskrrrr]

I’ve noticed lounges in some airports are now advertising “Fox News Inside.”

[GeronL]

Where are they in relation to all cable channels?

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

Any in Atlanta doing that?

[Cobra64]

I’ve noticed lounges in some airports are now advertising “Fox News Inside.”

Really? Which ones?

[bray]

It takes real talent to fall behind MSDNC!

Pray for America

[MarineBrat]

I've tried everything I can think of.... still nothing!!

[Huskrrrr]

Omaha and Minneapolis.

[Huskrrrr]

Just noticed them in Minneapolis and Omaha.

Fortunately for CNN, Guy Smiley no longer has his own news show.

[arthurus]

What is HLN? Health Network? I have not heard of that one.

Wow. How pathetic is that?
CNN's troubles can be traced back to when Clinton's buddy (Rick somebody?) took over and told the newswriters not to use the word "scandal" when reporting on Clinton's scandals.

[Leofl]

Schadenfreude!!!

[GOP Poet]

Headline News Network (CNN)

[4woodenboats]

LOL!!!!

[Quix]

YEA! ANSWER TO PRAYER.

I PRAYED FOR THAT DECADES AGO.

YEA GOD!

[WKUHilltopper]

Maybe Chris the idiot can scream a lot more and the ratings will just go up. If he really, really, really believes, it should work.

[ConfidentConservative]

No tears here!

GOOOO FOX!

CNN, CAN YOU HEAR US NOW???

[~Vor~]

Just ordered the new tags for my truck...FXNWSFAN...can’t wait to get them on!!

[DeFault User]

That's NPR's David Folkenflik

Folkenflik? Awww, come on, you made that up!

[jazusamo]

The Concubine Media.

[Grampa Dave]

You are very polite to label them the concubine media.

[paulycy]

You are very polite to label them the concubine media.

Family site, you know. And the new edict from the mods is to clean it up a bit so that newcomers aren't put off by the darker side of FReeperville.... ;0)

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the reminder!

“The worst thing about airports is CNN. People have figured out ways to turn the tv’s off. CNN is so bad.”

Some of our younger relatives and friends who still have to fly are going into bars and tell the waittress/bartenders, “They had planned to eat or have a drink, but they will not while CNN is on!”

Some are getting CNN turned off as they start to leave the bar/restaurant.

This is the same strategy as refusing the supposedly free copy of USA Lies Today and asking for a refund off your hotel bill. USA Lies Today is suffering massive losses in their not free copies in motels, hotels and inns.

[Frantzie]

I like your friends and relatives. Good job. I refused USA Today garbage recently and got .75 cents a day off the bill. The desk clerk was suprised.

[Frantzie]

Headline News. CNN s*cks so bad they are trying to change names to fool people.

[Grampa Dave]

“I refused USA Today garbage recently and got .75 cents a day off the bill. The desk clerk was suprised.”

You helped the nation by refusing the not free USA Lies Today, and got 75 cents off the bill by doing so.

Imagine if millions of people like you and I did refuse USA Lies Today and asked for a refund when we check into a motel, hotel, inn or lodge? USA Lies Today would be in even more trouble.
