"Oh Sheepie... that was great."

Highlighting even further the ratings erosion at CNN in prime time, the “Most Trusted Name in News” finished in fourth place among cable news outlets during election coverage last night.
Fox News was #1 by a mile, followed by MSNBC, then CNN sister network HLN and CNN in 4th place. They were fourth in both total viewers and the A25-54 demographic.
CNN’s 4th place finish last night was only made more glaring because last year’s election coverage on the network was their best night of all time. They didn’t just have more viewers than every other cable news network last year – it was the most of all time.
Here’s the ratings breakdown in prime time last night:
FNC: 4,043,000 in total viewers (1,130,000 in A25-54)
MSNBC: 974,000 in total viewers (308,000 in A25-54)
HLN: 842,000 in total viewers (341,000 in A25-54)
CNN: 826,000 in total viewers (227,000 in A25-54)

How many wake up calls can CNN get?
It’s not like their constant position at the bottom of the cable news standings is a surprise to anyone. The ratings come out every weak.
The bottom line is: They don’t give a damn that they are at the bottom. They have an agenda and they are going to stick to it come hell or high water, ratings be damned.
They’ll change whenever they run out of money or are bought out. No other way.
It is - that's Austria.
Ooh - major face-palm - it’s the Czech Republic.
They WOULD be smart if they did that. But they're not. They're collectivists, remember? In fact, they're recently made a rule prohibiting talk show hosts from even appearing as guests! Now, that's WAY BEYOND stupid. It's evil.
With recorded on-line views of the Rush interview, I imagine the real number is probably at least "tripled."
HF
Wallace did a great job with that interview.
I agree. MSNBC needs to be the Air Amerika of television.
Wow, look at those numbers above... Fox News absolutely blew away the competition! Incredible.
"Oh Sheepie... that was great."
Cooper’s puerile teabagger remarks should send his gay lame smirky butt packing
“I flipped through the news channels to see what the others were saying and MSNBC had Rachel Maddow on. No thanks. CNN’s panel was yipping about how the results meant nothing in the long run. I turned it back to Shepard.”
LOL - I went through exactly the same “lesser of evils” process.
Best coverage was Neil Cavuto’s on Fox Business. Had it on until I fell asleep around 1.
You want to stand by that statement with regards to Larry King? He is awful...horrid...terrible.
Sorry...what is labeled as Switzerland is the map of the Czech Republic. One needs to go to the Southwest of that location, past Austria (where we ALL know they speak Austrian) and find that little country that borders Germany, France, Austria AND Italy.
Wasn’t that the point? It’s CNN.
Election night blood was shooting out of my eyes.
Is that black madman Roland Martin? Evil personified.
Gergen, hopeless whore.
Blitzed........pathetic.
You cock-eyed optimist, you! Why would they give up their “religion” for the sake of the truth?
They look at what happened to John Stossel when he revealed things that are “uncomfortable” for the left’s religion on various leftie issues, and they lose their nerve. It takes guts to report the truth about the left, and most of them don’t have that kind of guts.
But I hear ya.
BTT
I can’t stand to watch Campbell Brown. That woman is just WEIRD looking. The shape of her mouth is so strange and distracting that I can’t follow what she’s saying.
