After years of misleading its audience with fake news, 35 percent of CNN’s primetime audience up and left ...While Fox News is growing, the openly left-wing MSNBC is also shrinking, but nowhere nearly as much as CNN. Fox grabbed an astonishing average of 2.4 million viewers.

CNN could not even hold a million total primetime viewers and bottomed out with an average of just 937,000.

MSNBC cleared a little over 1.7 million.

In total day viewers, Fox News was number one in all of cable, with an average hold of 1.5 million viewers.

“CNN Airport” solely playing in so many airports (60) is finally being questioned and objected to, as it should be. Competitors are arising.

CNN refused to answer Fox News when asked if its airport presence impacts CNN’s ratings. It should not count, as the number of people actually watching is unknowable.

How about two years of Fox News only at those same airports, as an “equal time” adjustment.

The reason they are in airports is CNN pays for the TVs.

In other words they purchase the airport audience.

"The reason they are in airports is CNN pays for the TVs. In other words they purchase the airport audience."

Correct. They supply the televisions and also pay many airports to air their programming.

I get notifications from CNN when they cover live events
and I admit taking a certain pleasure from posting in their comments feed,
“No thanks, I’ll be watching it on Fox”.

How does MSNBC have so many viewers? Are they including regular NBC viewers? Our cable company has never offered MSNBC. Surely, ours isn’t the only service that doesn’t office it.

But in the minds of the geniuses at CNN, it’s not the quantity of viewers it’s the quality of viewers.....

Unless I forgot to count 1.7 million is more than 1.5 million. Is that a typo on the story? That said, CNN, you are still the leader in fake news...

Simple folks, CNN is self destructing just like the Democrat Party. Can you imagine them Idiot Democrats nominated an Africa-American, radical progressive, ultra left-wing, liberal Obamabot woman, Stacey Abrams to run for the Governor of Georgia?

Now, if they had nominated someone like African-American, Republican, Senator, Tim Scott from South Carolina, this would have become a most interesting race.

As it is, however, the voters in the great state of Georgia will literally destroy the entire Democrat Party ticket running in Georgia. How dumb and hateful can these Democrat morons be?

No, not a typo. It’s two different time slots.

Primetime viewers

Fox 2.4 million
CNN 937,000.
MSNBC 1.7 million.

Day viewers

Fox News 1.5 million
MSNBC 972,000.
CNN 791,000.

Even liberals are now accepting that the Trump-Russia collusion investigation is an attempt to usurp the Constitution. They know Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein, Wray, etc., are all corrupt.
