U.S.—CNN's ratings have somehow tanked even worse than they previously had as Americans began to quarantine themselves and stopped taking commercial flights, emptying American airports and robbing the cable channel of its captive audience.
While CNN is usually able to claim millions of captive viewers every day, their audience dropped to almost nothing overnight. With airports completely devoid of weary travelers with dead smartphones and nothing to look at but CNN, the core of the channel's audience has disappeared overnight.
Screens at airports across the country continued to play CNN to empty airports, creating a spooky, dystopian atmosphere as hosts ranted to no one in particular.
On-air personalities were quick to blame the ratings dive on President Donald Trump, suggesting that he had a hand in creating the virus specifically so that CNN would implode.
"This is clearly a Trump and Fox News plot to destroy us," said Brian Stelter. "The anti-science, racist Trump administration wants you to believe this started in China, but it was clearly created in a U.S. government lab to stop the extremely popular CNN!"
Overcome with rage, Stelter then transformed into his alternate personality, a raging, hulking, green monster who breaks things and rants against Trump and Fox News all the time, which is indistinguishable from his other ego except he's green and looks a little less like George Costanza.

CNN has no ratings even when the airports are open and full up, so this slow down can't help them.
It is funny when satire is so true that ya gotta look twice at the source.
Still love the Bee...satire at its finest.
Someone posted a Tweet of Stelter trashing President Trump’s response to Coronavirus, and someone else’s respone “Nobody can hear you the airports are all closed.”
I flew monthly for some 30+ year and was subjected to massive amounts of CNN for years. Now that I am retired I feel better know I will never have to endure that again
These days NOBODY is looking at those tvs.
They all have their heads buried in their mobile phones..
Best headline of the day.
Sad, but true.
This is clearly a Trump and Fox News plot to destroy us.
Mission completed you go home now.
TANK you CNN bogus journalist,a$$ hat propagandist , jingoistic commies!
Oh too bad. It is another BB expose!
Funny but unbelievably inaccurate. That is NOT at all how eating are computed. However, funny just the same. I’d give 100 pinocchios..
I believed it for a few seconds — until I saw the Babylon Bee. Darn, I wish it were true.
I know.....
CNN has minimal if any potential viewers in any airport in the world.
How many absent people are due to CNN’s rabid Corona reporting.
