A neighbor recommended calling CNN’s advertisers to say you won’t buy anything advertised on CNN.

When was CNN ever watchable?

Last I looked....the Hallmark Channel on cable...was pulling a bigger audience. If the airports would stop the CNN distribution game and just air travel news...their audience would be half of what it is today.

My belief is that CNN will cheapen itself enough...that some Chinese billionaire will walk in by 2020 and buy the network.

They call it CNN because the Comedy Channel was already taken.

You can watch "forensic files" episodes from the '90's on CNN Headline News. They run programs from so long ago that I don't remember watching them 20 years ago.

Give it another year or two and CNN will be showing re-runs of 20 year old programs just like HLN.

I really liked "Perry Mason": Maybe they could start running reruns of that.

For some reason it is more important for CNN to serve their target audience of Trump haters than to get decent ratings.

A few months ago, I forced myself to watch the opening monologue of "Late Night" with Seth Meyers on NBC. Every single lame, pathetic joke was about Trump - every effing one of them! - the ENTIRE monologue was one lousy unfunny joke after another. And the audience was just accepting it. They weren't laughing hysterically because the jokes were DULL - maybe a few hoots and hollers now and then, but for the most part the audience was satisfied with this performance. I imagine them collectively saying, "Oh yes, we are liberal progressives who hate Trump. We get together and we all talk about how much we hate Trump and what a truly awful pig he is, and that is all we ever want to talk about, and we are very, very satisfied with ourselves."

Fox News isn’t far behind CNN in their anti-Trump slant. The Fox News web page has just as many anti-Trump stories this morning as CNN. Further proof that we are winning...

“Therefore CNN is Predictably Unwatchable IMHO.”......

CNN was “unwatchable” many years ago. Business travel kept me on the road a lot and CNN was on almost every airport TV. I couldn’t stand them then and I can’t stand them today, if I were to even watch TV news, which I do not.

I like to watch it when working out on treadmill. Seeing them find breaking news in every nuance ready to report that Trump is finally done is a comedy I cannot resist.

Airports and nursing homes are their biggest ratings bonanza.

A friend of mine told the receptionist at a hospital to please turn CNN off because it was making his blood pressure go up, and she did!

........with all due respect, and I’m sure I speak for many on FR, I have not watched CNN other than for long enough to pay for a drink in an airport bar for 20+ years................

They could have Jane Fonda’s perp walk on live TV and I would not watch it. I would just wait for utube.

The only time I intend to watch CNN is when I read here that on xyz date they will air their final broadcast before closing down. That is the next, last, and only thing I will watch from CNN.

What the morons of the Left can’t get through their heads is that propaganda is boring!

Bought a universal TV remote to switch channels at the gym. Really pisses one old liberal off when it is not on constantly.
