We're doing even worse than our colleagues in the fish wrap business.

Viewership down - doesn’t matter. Obama will ensure they receive enough advertising money to keep going.

I never understand why, at least around where I live, whenever there is a TV in a waiting room (or at McDonalds), they always have CNN on. Always. Who makes them put that crap on?

I’ve never understood the CNN and MSNBC business model. If your goal is to make money through advertising, why would you intentionally alienate half of the potential viewers?

Some would say “they don’t care, they’re only in business to push the liberal-democrat agenda”. To which I say fine, but they’ve already got the hardcore liberal audience, how do they expect to change hearts and minds by preaching to the choir?

Whichever way you cut it, it makes no sense. Fox News has been beating them in every way simply by being centrist and not taking either side. Something they teach in Business 101.

CNN will very soon reach the point where the only way to lose more viewers is for people to spend less time at airports. This will be their “terminal velocity”.

The problem is that all of the above, including faux news, still have viewers. But happily, the viewers seem to be disappearing over time. I think a lot of it is websites like hulu that allow people to download content on demand. And also the fact that you can get a lot more information in less time on the web without the fake drama.

If people want to hear bullcrap they can just make up their own. Likely as well as what CNN and MSNBC make up......

I don’t think MSNBC is actually real. Just turn it on for a few minutes. The sets look weird, the lighting is weird, the graphics are weird, even the sound is weird, and the hosts are veritable freak show. It looks like something The Matrix would come up with to approximate what a news network would look like.

“CNN was off 54 percent in total viewers and 62 percent in the demo. MSNBC declined 50 percent in total prime time viewers and 57 percent in the demo.”

And that shows that the liberal elite doesn’t care much about money as so many people have always assumed. They care about the leftist agenda.

I wonder why those four people stopped watching?

With a sewer mouth like Bashir still living and breathing on their screen, not to mention their shabby treatment of Lara Logan -a REAL heroine to DARE question the Obamabastard on his failings at Benghazi, is this a surprise.

I hope they all got to hell and take their liberal rag journals with them.

I get my news off the internet, Fox occasionally. Never CNN or PMSNBC.

It’s all about:
Gays
LBGT
Undocumented Immigrants
The USA is a mistake or blight
The USA is doing it wrong.
Buttbama can do no wrong
Buttbama is so nuanced, so smart
Color me this, color me that
News about the goings in countries no one cares about
How people are getting their feelings hurt
Bullies
Intellectual Bankruptcy
Nonsense.

And if anyone ever changed channels in the airports, CNN would lost the other half of their “viewers”.

Not fair!

You didn’t make that. Somebody else made that happen.

Redistribute the ratings!

They should get a clue—people don’t like being lied to, 24-7.

That’s why their Dear Leader’s approval rating is down to 37%.

Is there a law that CNN must be on every airport and public space television monitor?

I was watching them report on the Lara Logan story and, despite the breathless delivery, it still seemed dull.
