CNN: 'Our Ratings Are Only Tanking Because Trump Is Killing Off Viewers By The Millions' (satire)
Babylon Bee ^ | August 26 2019

ATLANTA, GA—CNN host Brian Stelter blamed President Trump for the network's falling ratings Sunday, accusing the president of killing millions upon millions of people that otherwise might have tuned into CNN.

"If Trump weren't killing off most of America by the millions, we'd still have a pretty solid viewer base," Stelter bellowed at the three viewers watching Reliable Sources. "Airports, lobbies, waiting rooms, and gas station pumps are now playing CNN to absolutely no one, since Trump has killed them all."

A guest on Stelter's show suggested that Trump has killed more people than Hitler, Mao, and Stalin put together, and Stelter had to agree. "I'd probably put his death count at somewhere near 7.7 billion," he said after doing some simple math on one of those giant novelty calculators he keeps handy for such an occasion. "We can't overstate the damage this president has done to this once-great news station."

After the segment blaming Trump for the deaths of millions and CNN's subsequent decline, the station continued to air 24/7 Trump coverage, which mostly consisted of the hosts screaming at the sky.

But it's true !

Think;

If your husband or wife left you for another, did your marriage die?

President Trump has successfully wooed away CNN's lovers.

No, but Snopes is “fact checking” it anyway.

gas station pumps are now playing CNN to absolutely no one,

As an aside, I go out of my way to avoid the gas stations with the blaring TV's at every pump. They don't seem to mind losing my business.

If killing means that viewers that quit watching CNN are now dead to CNN, then yes, CNN’s 24 hour a day obsession with all things bad Trump, has killed millions of former and future viewers.

You just gave me a thought. I haven’t been to a gas station that has a TV playing, but several have music playing. When that happens, I think I will start pressing the assistance button and ask them to turn off the music. If they won’t, I’ll tell them, “OK, I will go somewhere else” and leave.

Dolts! CNN’s ratings are bad because people are no longer interested in buying the product they are selling. Arrogance doesn’t sell product.
