CNN managed a remarkable feat in 2021. The network, currently reeling from a spate of pedophilia related allegations among its staff, succeeded in losing ANOTHER 38 percent of its viewership.
According to Nielsen data, CNN saw the massive drop in weekday prime-time viewership, while MSNBC saw a 25 percent drop in viewership for the same time slots.
The data shows that on average there are 919,000 Americans watching MSNBC, while only 787,000 are still watching CNN.
At this rate the networks will soon be out of business.
At this point, anyone still watching CNN has to be either completely brainwashed or brain dead. The network is now desperately attempting to corral these zombies into paying for its services with subscriptions.
Howard Stern recently posited the question “who the hell’s gonna pay for CNN+?” noting that “people don’t want CNN. I mean are they outta their minds?”
Fox News also saw a decline of 34 percent, but still has vastly more viewers with an average of 2.3 million during prime time hours.
Network news channels also saw significant declines in viewership, with NBC “Nightly News” registering a 14% decline, and both ABC’s “World News Tonight” and the “CBS Evening News” seeing 12% drops in viewership.
The data also revealed that visits to mainstream media news websites plummeted, with unique visitors to the Washington Post’s website dropping by an staggering 44% between November 2020 and 2021, and the New York Times registering a 34% decline in unique visitors.
While analysts claim the decline is due to President Trump leaving office, one might posit that it has more to do with the torrent of bullshit pouring out the mouths of every anchor and talking head visible on the networks, and practically every ‘journalist’ woefully attempting to disguise their opinions as real news in the Post and the Times.
Good news. Our only hope is that the rot and corruption assembled by the left will take itself down.
put the final nail in the coffin and cut cable tv
Since they only have about 200 viewers (mostly Democratic members of Congress), that’s only losing about 40 viewers, or just about the number of Democrat Congressmen retiring. What’s the surprise?
CNN is not a business. It is a propaganda outlet for AT&T. A cost center not a revenue generating center.
Always nice to wake up to good news in the morning.
There's plenty of rich tech billionaires to prop them up. Unfortunately they aren't going anywhere.
It’s a CIA Front.
Elected Republicans are the only people who watch them.
Yes, like so many other vanity projects; NY Times, Washington Post, Disney, to name a few.
So why does everybody keep talking everyday about what CNN says?
We give them 10 times their normal audience reach.
One good thing I’m seeing is CNN on one TV and Fox News on another in some public places. Where as before it was only CNN everywhere.
The problem is even if people don’t watch CNN, it still has tremendous influence on the news that gets out there through other channels.
The Commie News Network should have a conservative section of their News to survive but they are a propaganda outlet, not real News.
Never.gonna.happen.
America now has its central-government, state-run media, deep-state voices, just like China, Russia, etc... They will be supported. They will always be there.
If it weren’t for Hannity playing CNN video bites their crap would have no audience.
Democrats don’t produce anything worth anything. Why is their media even worth the effort or electricity.
Be they all gone!
“At this rate the networks will soon be out of business.”
Nope, sorry, not so easy. They have sugar daddies.
COVID may be the last straw of credibility for them. Such a deal was made about the vaccines (begun under Trump) and we were all promised things would get back to normal once we’d all had our shots. Instead, the “crisis” continues and each day seems to show those resisting vaccination were right all along. Meanwhile, countries like Austria and Australia are taking things way overboard.
Imagine if these news channels were interested in what Sweden did about the virus.
