A week filled with developments from the Trump administration has MSNBC leading primetime and CNN boasting total day demo victories.
There hasn't been a horse race like this in cable news in quite some time... if ever.
A week of humbling headlines for the embattled Trump administration proved to be ratings pay dirt for CNN and MSNBC, each of which scored significant victories in different day parts. Simultaneously, Fox News Channel posted its first five-day streak at No. 3 in primetime since 2000.
Both CNN and MSNBC nabbed big wins among adults 25-54, with CNN winning total day in the key demo for the workweek and MSNBC scoring in primetime. Though it was a tight race between 8 and 11 p.m. throughout the week, FNC ranked below the other two for the first time in almost 17 years.
Primetime Averages for May 15-19 1. MSNBC: 611,000 adults 25-54; 2.44 million viewers 2. CNN: 589,000 adults 25-54; 1.65 million viewers 3. FNC: 497,000 adults 25-54; 2.41 million viewers
Standout telecasts include CNN's Anderson Cooper 360. With Bill O'Reilly now out of play in the 8 o'clock time slot for more than a month, Cooper placed No. 1 for the hour Monday through Friday. (The last time CNN had such a streak in the hour was during coverage of the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.) MSNBC and FNC traded off the No. 2 slot, with O'Reilly replacement Tucker Carlson coming in at No. 3 on several nights.

They have too many looney lefties on their now and foaming at the mouth.
Chris Wallace and Rinos make me want to hurl. Sorry FOX, cannot handle it anymore!
That’s “Pooper” not “Cooper.”
Title should be: Dyke and Queer dominate Fox.
Fox News and it’s profits is nothing to Daddy’s boys.
Getting rid of Ailes and O’Reilly in the name of political correctness has worked wonders for the limp wristed Murdoch boys’ ‘New Fox’, eh?
Maybe they should move Shep into Prime Time now, and really show the competition how it’s done.
Just a guess but the 3rd place ratings won’t be so rare in the future for FNC.
Fox NeverTrump News needs more Juan, Rove and Geraldo.
That’s how I feel... If I have to listen to a liberal might as well listen to one of the A-list ones on some liberal network. FOX threw us away... millions of us.
Wow
Let’s see
1)Fire the guy that kept you at #1 for 17 years, cause feminazis demanded his skull (RIP Roger)
2)Let a top personality who didn’t like him (Megyn, we don’t like her but she got eyeballs) walk away even after that
3)Suddenly fire your top personality who’s show was #1 (BOR) cause feminazis demanded it
It’s almost like they are trying to lose viewers.
I bet O’Reilly is laughing his A off.
