CNN’s May Ratings Already Collapsing by 20-Plus Percent

While Fox News and MSNBC are more or less holding steady this week when compared to the full month of May last year, the far-left CNN is already in a total ratings freefall by 20 percent and more. With three weeks of May still remaining, the Stormy Daniels Network might be able to mount (if you’ll pardon the expression) a comeback, but as of right now the month is looking like it could be a serious humiliation for CNN—and not just in total viewers but the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demo, as well.

Primetime Hours

During primetime hours throughout May of last year, CNN averaged 1.12 million total viewers and 399,000 demo viewers.

During the first week of May this year, CNN averaged just 859,000 total viewers and 286,000 demo viewers, which represents a jaw-dropping collapse of 23 percent and 29 percent, respectively.

Perhaps it is finally time to remove CNN from all the airports in the USA and watch the Communist News Network fall another 20%!

Why AT&T insists on keeping CNN as part of the Time-Warner merger escapes me.

Have they contacted the viewer who decided not to watch?

They will collapse like a red dwarf once the masses of sheeple start questioning why CNN is the gold standard of cable news. Some of our local fast food places here in Vegas have Fox News and even OANN. Just a matter of time.

“Might be able to ‘mount’, if you’ll pardon the expression..”

20% decrease in viewers means 20% decrease in revenue.
That is a huge amount to make up to advertisers.

Maybe the expression to be pardoned isn’t “mount,” but “comeback.” Or maybe not. LOL

If you’re going to be fake news, at least pretend to be objective.

Not only has CNN lost anyone on the right and anyone in the middle with half-a-brain, but they are losing a lot of people on the left who want to believe that they can watch leftist slanted news that doesn’t smack of propaganda. When they turn on CNN and actually feel dirty and treated like idiots but the pure and blatant propaganda, they can’t stay interested for long. It would feed their egos much more if they faked objectivity while they were faking them news.

I read somewhere that CNN pays airports to broadcast their drivel. Without that and everyone else reviewing what CNN said, no one would ever hear of them.

They could easily fix this with just a little more Stormy Daniels coverage.

I can't wait to hear their explanation.

"The 20% drop in our ratings was expected by our senior management team, and is recognized as a normal result of the ebb and flow of viewer preferences and news consumption habit patterns of our large and diverse international audiences."

Reminds me of Al Jaffee and the crew at Mad Magazine. Sometime in the ‘90’s their only subscriber in the Dominican Republic dropped his subscription.

The entire Mad Magazine crew flew down to the Dominican to convince him to renew.
