It’s no April Fool’s joke — last month CNN delivered its lowest-rated month in total day in over a decade, since August 2001, the month before the September 11 attacks. The once-dominant cable news network posted decade-lows among both total viewers (357,000) and Adults 25-54 (108,000). Versus April last year, CNN was down 21% in total viewers and 29% in 25-54. In comparison, leader Fox News was up 2% in total viewers (1.1 million) and 1% in 25-54 (273,000) and No.2 MSNBC was flat in total viewers (425,000) and down 5% in 25-54 (139,000).
Things did not look brighter for CNN in the evening where its shows again posted across-the-board declines: John King USA at 6 PM was down 41% in the 25-54 demo, Erin Burnett Outfront at 7 PM was down 34%, Piers Morgan was down 14% at 9PM, and Anderson Cooper 360 was down 8% at 8 PM and 28% at 10PM. In primetime, CNN had its lowest rated month in nearly two years, since August 2010 in both total viewers (508,000, down 16% from last year) and adults 25-54 (149,000, down 22%). Meanwhile FNC (1.9 million, 395,000 in 25-54) was flat in total viewers from last April and down 9% in 25-54, MSNBC (754,000; 236,000) was down 5% and 9%, respectively.

People see they wanted Mitt and got him.
A lot of people are done buying the propaganda at that channel along with Fox.

Rush Limbaugh should buy CNN, put Glenn Beck at the newsdesk, and let Sarah Palin run it.

Haven’t watched FOX for quite a while but wonder if they are picking up enough viewers from other channels because of their shift left to compensate for the number of more Conservative people they are losing.

I guess lying about the Zimmerman case wasn’t the best idea.

Used to watch a fair amount of cable news, mostly Fox, sometimes CNN, never PMSNBC. About 2-3 years ago I dropped all of them and stopped watching cable news altogether. Can’t stomach any of them anymore.

I’ve shut off almost all TV News, including Fox.
Lynch mob out for Zimmerman, and promoting Romney on Fox.

I am at home all the time and I used to keep TV on Fox all day - they have killed themselves with their liberalism plus hiring Jessie Jackson’s daughter, so now I mostly have it on movies and I like life better without liberal Fox.

You got to realize Fox is a business!..they'll take the rum-swabs on and lower their standards to get the business...
someone will eventually start “Chicken News”...where the henhouse is armed and the “fox” is mortally wounded...
