You Are Now More Likely To Know A Prostitute Than A Primetime CNN Viewer
Townhall ^ | May 4, 2019 | Timothy Meads

Donna Summer sings, "No one seems to know her name, and even less about the place from where she came," in her 1976 song Lady of the Night. Flash forward 40 years and it seems those lyrics are more applicable to the nightly CNN audience than they are to a prostitute. As reported by Newsbusters, the latest cable news ratings indicate that CNN primetime has just 760,000 viewers, officially making members of the oldest profession more prominent in America than fans of the cable news network.

Newsbusters Rich Noyes reports there are an estimated 1 million prostitutes currently in the United States, meaning there are 240,000 more people out there whose profession is known as the politically correct "sex worker" than are folks tuning into CNN each evening for their news.

Furthermore because of their dissipating fan base, "Across all cable networks, CNN now ranks 15th, behind Home and Garden TV (4th), the Hallmark Channel (9th) and the Food Network (14th)." The network has lost 26% of its total audience since April 2018. Newsbusters' Tim Graham laid the numbers out compared to other networks.

You get more honesty from the prostitute

I’d trust a prostitute more, also.
After all, she’s trying to make an honest living. :-)

One million prostitutes? Let’s see, approximately 75 million women in the US between 19 and 54. Let’s just say that million are all female, though we know gay prostitution is a real thing.

Still, approximately 1 in 75 of the demographic?

I think they’ve gotta be counting young women who agree to dates online just for a free meal.

“And here I was furtively switching over to CNN just to watch the prostitutes on parade....”

And that would be way more interesting than anything CNN has had on their network for years and years.

Like Charlie Sheen said, you don’t pay a prostitute for sex, you pay her to leave afterwards.

I’d rather get fake orgasms than fake news. Anyone know the name of a reliable prostitute?

Well you have to include Washington, DC. We know there are at least 535 prostitutes, but they each have staffers and lobbyists.

It shocks and saddens me if that many people are involved in prostitution.

Keep your filthy prostitute leaves out of my yard Steve!

CNN ranks behind the Hallmark channel. THAT is some funny stuff. I look like Robby Benson so whenever I am “recognized” on the street in LA I know I am talking to a Hallmark channel viewer... Romantic movies from the 80s...
