Why Does CNN Exist?
Lawrence Person's Battleswarm Blog ^ | 13 Dec 2021 | Lawrence Person

In wake of the news that a CNN producer was arrested for raping children as young as nine years old, I have to ask: Why does CNN even exist in 2021?

They’ve been below the 1 million viewer threshold for some time. Fox News had 71 of the top 100 most viewed cable shows. CNN had zero.

Tucker Carlson’s 8 p.m. show led Fox’s lineup with a dominant 3,667,000 total average viewers and 651,000 average viewers in the key 25-54 demographic. Fox News noted in the release that Tucker’s Kyle Rittenhouse interview drew big ratings, helping to propel the program to the number one spot for November.

After a strong October, Fox’s The Five scored second place in the cable news ratings averaging a total of 3.51 million viewers in the month of November and 557,000 average viewers in the key 25-54 age demographic.

Sean Hannity placed third for November, averaging 3.23 million total viewers, with 541,000 average viewers in the demo.

Fox beat CNN by 294% in primetime viewers and 184% in the demo during prime time. Fox also topped MSNBC by 136% in primetime total viewers and 200% within the demo during prime time.

How many advertisers will continue ponying up ad money for less than a million viewers? (Insert your own “Depends” joke here.)

(Aside: One company that sponsors a lot of CNN and other news shows: Pfizer.)

It used to be to warm airport waiting areas in the winter. But flat screens aren’t good heaters, so CNN has been kicked out of airports.

Once they lost the airport heating contract, it was all downhill from there.

The Left always has to keep its stooges safe and secure, well-fed and well-groomed - even if they get in trouble.

It could be argued, ESPECIALLY if they get in trouble, because legal and financial issues make Patsy easier to control. And don’t forget the “great brotherhood of perverts”...! A lot of these guys HATE each other, but they buddy it up anyway because keeping an eye on each other.

Why Does CNN Exist?

1. Ask the DNC Elites!

2. Ask the CIA!

3. Ask the FBI!

Same question re USA Today, Compost, NY Slimes and 99% of any fishwraps still publishing a so called newspaper.

Again:

1. Ask the DNC Elites!

2. Ask the CIA!

3. Ask the FBI!
