CNN Ratings Down 70% Without Trump
WIBC ^ | 5/27/2021 | Tony Katz

TIMBER. CNN’s ratings continue to drop as their total day viewership is down 70%.

Nielsen Media Research reports CNN’s primetime viewers at the beginning of the year was roughly around 798,000 people and 530,000 total day viewers. Now the network is seeing no more than 229,000 primetime viewers with 152,000 total day viewers.

Translation: That’s pretty awful.

FOX ratings, though significantly higher, also continue to feel the blow of lower viewership after they hurt themselves during the election.

With more outlets from Newsmax to Nextstar’s new partnership with NewsNation Now the competition for national cable news outlets is growing

CNN does not care if they have any ratings - they still get paid through cable subscriptions.

I really wish Rush would have bought CNN and turned it into the Conservative News Network

Until channels like CNN, Espn and Disney are removed from basic TV subscriptions they will continue.

TV providers need to go to an a la carte/ pick and pay for channels to really see an impact.

but as they are all on the same band wagon, this props up their support. That is CNN’s core revenue stream.

Juan was always just reading talking points that he was given. I never thought he believed a lot of that junk, but that was what he was paid for.

He was wrong all the time prob for that reason. He is the kindest one on the panel and he understood one more thing consistently had the best segments

He was nice to anyone they made fun of never snarky and Greg Dana and Jesse are snarky

Anyway ALL we watch is one more thing. Zero interest in the rest and now forget it.

Maybe CNN’s advertisers are afraid to stop throwing ad dollars away because ‘company bigs’ were friends of Jeffery Epstein.

And they don’t want their names leaked to the press like happened with Bill Gates...

Same reason they throw away customers to ‘go full nuts WOKE’...

Everyone’s ratings are way down. People are not switching networks, they are quitting cable news altogether. People are tired of being fed slanted opinion and propaganda instead of factual news.

I think it is owned by ATT. Or some giant corp like ATT. They don’t care if no real people watch it. It serves another purpose for them; and the people who do watch it only watch it so they can spread their propaganda all over the internet one blog, facebook post and text message at a time.

This not only indicates viewers who love Trump and viewers who hate Trump are both dropping the network, it also indicates no one on either side has any interest at all in what the so-called "Biden Administration" is doing.

“When a seriously biased news source is in bed with the current people in power, they don’t really have a lot to talk about that is actually interesting. This is especially true if the people in power are not really supportable.”

Excellent observation.

They could run this story about the pedophile Biden.

I wish Donald Trump would mention this and the other molesting Biden has done.
