CNN suffers smallest weekday audience since Obama regime, gets pounded by Fox News once again
Crankers ^ | 6-18-2022 | John Smith

CNN had its lowest weekly audience since the Obama administration on June 14 as its rating problems continue to plague the distressed network. After being purchased by Warner Bros. Discovery early this year in a $43 billion deal, CNN averaged just about 393,000 total viewers on June 14. The network additionally experienced its least viewed weekday, excluding Thanksgiving, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. when the daytime programming on CNN managed only to attract an average of 489,000 viewers. This was the worst performance for CNN in this category since November 3, 2015.

CNN has developed a history of relying on its critical coverage of former President Donald Trump to appeal to liberal viewers under previous boss Jeff Zucker. The bleak turnout on June 14 occurred a day after the Jan. 6 committee focused on Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results through litigation. CNN was down 43% of the estimated 694,000 total viewers who tuned in on June 13 while there was no hearing the next day.

Warner Bros should fire all the on air personalities and just report real factual news. The ratings would go way up.

They’ve been on life support long before this. It’s being and has been propped up by other parts of its parent company.

As for the 34th district, those voters seem to think that the current crop of Republicans will do anything about illegal immigration and the border. All while one of their Senators is drafting an amnesty bill with fellow Republican Tillis.

Biden can have a 3% rating right now and until 2025. He controls oil drilling, the DOD, and everything else. He, his puppet masters and cronies are using the power of government to force us to buy what they want us to buy and radically change this country.

Millions are coming over the border. Fentanyl and other drugs are pouring over in record numbers. Violence through the roof

Oh wait…..CornPops approval is 33%. The current state of this country is exactly what they want.

Not one single state did anything about mail in voting or drop
Boxes. If you think there going to be a Red Tsunami that will create a Veto Proof majority, you’re living in fantasy land.

And if you think any Republican even if they got a big enough majority is going to recommend or push for mass deportations, you’re dreaming.

We haven’t got the property tax bills for the millions that are here and the millions more that are coming.

But you go ahead and think one district in Texas is going to stop all of that.

President Trump and the Republican congress built the wall and drastically reduced illegal immigration.
The 34th district is 84% Latino. They know what illegal immigration is about more than Dementia Joe does. And the new Republican congress woman herself was born in Mexico. I'll bet she understands illegal immigration more than you do.

“Does CNN have Tucker, Gutfeld, Judge Jeanine, Waters etc etc?”

Let us know when they are allowed by Fox to cover ‘2000 Mules’.

Talking about Journalism integrity (and maturity)...Bill Maher whom I didn't always regard as having anything useful to say, has impressed me as someone with an actually functioning objective style of reasoning esp on topics like this. In this video (dated 6/17) of his commentary on his Real Time show he makes some great points as he slams the WAPO about how "too many millennials are overly sensitive overly fragile and have no sense of priorities...". Its worth watching I think. *Video here:

Dementia Joe won't be laughing in November.
He controls DOD?
Is that why he got clobbered by the Taliban and his cronies in Ukraine are getting schooled by the Russians?

He, his puppet masters and cronies are using the power of government to force us to buy what they want us to buy and radically change this country.

“Forcing us to buy” what exactly?
I buy the same things I've been buying for over 40 years.

Millions are coming over the border.

And the Dems are still losing in heavily Latino districts that they previously controlled.
The massive illegal immigration is not doing them any good is it?

You must have missed all the tough new anti ballot fraud laws passed in red/purple states including Texas, where the entire Dem state congressmen fled to DC to prevent the laws from passing and still FAILED. The anti ballot fraud laws still passed.

If you think there going to be a Red Tsunami that will create a Veto Proof majority, you're living in fantasy land.

There WILL be a red tsunami in November.
No one is even talking about veto proof majority apart from you.

You totally forgot to mention the clobbering the Dems took in Virginia last year and lots of other losses for the Dems in previously Dem controlled cities/counties in Texas last year.

2000 Mules or no 2000 Mules, Fox is infinitely better than CNN.
No same person would even argue otherwise.

Fox lulls you into a false sense that you are getting the truth and the news, and neither could be further from the truth.

A sane person recognizes the dangers off false truth, so, no, a sane person does not accept Fox is better than CNN. A stupid and gullible person thinks that.

Fox is nothing but Ranting for Ratings. It is a means to sensationalize the smallest of unimportant things to get you distracted from the issues. It works on the feeble minded low IQ types who just want to scream at their TV.

Solutions to the problems are not discussed on Fox. They only rant about some specific things to keep you glued to your boob tube.

Fox is also the Book of the Day club. You only get to hear from those that have a book out. It’s like Fox is nothing but a book selling operation.

There isn’t any news on Fox, just narrowly focused political opinions.

I heard Flores on Joe Pages, she is not for curbing immigration. She wants to make the process easier and legal. Her husband is a border patrol agent and the current condition is chaotic and dangerous.

Talking to us or are you looking in the mirror and accidentally say something out loud?

There is absolutely no question Tucker Carlson Tonight is infinitely superior to any CNN program from the likes of Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper, Brian Stelter and the rest of the deranged crazies who anchor CNN prime time.
That you would even argue the point here tells everyone on FR how really crazy you are.
You may want to go back to DU and hang out with your far left pals who think CNN is great.

I have seen plenty of interviews of Mayra Flores.
She is for LEGAL immigration, strong Christian, anti abortion etc
That’s quite different from illegal immigration.
But I am sure you knew that already.

That would be MSNBC and CNN who's anchors are certifiably insane.
CNN/MSNBC rant and rave like mad men (which they are) for ratings, but unfortunately for them, they keep getting destroyed by Fox News in the ratings.
Tucker is cleaning their clocks even with Democrats.
Chuckle.

You perfectly described CNN/MSNBC and those half wit leftists who actually watch them.
What normal human would watch Don Lemon or Joy Reid on a regular basis?

I watch Tucker all the time. Don't even remember the last time he pushed any book.
He has too much brains and too many important things to discuss to be pushing books.
And he has the high ratings to prove it.
