CNN had 931,000 viewers?

That works out to 18,620 per state.

Considering that their largest audience is located in NYC, Chicago, LA and SF means NO ONE is watching them in most states.

Good job. I didn’t even waste my time thinking of analysis but you’re right.

I have noticed that airports I have frequented in the past year, hospitals, doctors’ offices and other venues where CNN was usually on are now tuned to other networks like HGTV, TV Land, ESPN(thank God it is muted).

Rachel Maddow seems to do well for some reason.
She has come in 2nd and 3rd in the cable news ratings
listed on Drudge.

Somewhat fair coverage. I did not appreciate that asshat the other day from Fox asking Sarah Sanders if Trump will denounce “white nationalism”. She should have punched that a-hole right in the face.

To that, were I her, I would say:

First, can you please define “white nationalism” because I have no idea what it means? Where did you hear that term?”

Fox is very anti-Trump They put him down all the time

I dont buy it. Dana Perino always negative about him, many others.

Some radio programs get better audience ratings than CNN. At these ratings they can’t really charge more than a couple hundred bucks for a 30 second spot.

Neither do I-—no radio either ——I love the silence.

Those "viewers" are probably the TVs in airports all over the U.S. (and beyond) that are mandated to run the Commie News Network.

CNN should close up shop.
They are getting killed with their ratings.

They lose money by the wheelbarrow full and can’t even cover Wolf’s salary. All underwritten by the Time Warner.

Last I heard Animal Planet and various networks running re-runs were beating CNN. CNN should follow in the footsteps of failed syndicated radio network Air America.

That’s why I was saying, I mean verbatim to what you just said. What does “White nationalism” even mean? How is wanting to enforce immigration laws to protect the country or wanting fair trade deals even remotely related to being white? They say this crap solely to put the thought of “Trump - white supremacist” into people heads and it drives me nuts. It’s just extreme extreme bias by the media. Did they ever say “Black nationalism” about Obama?

Of course not. Though it would have been “Black Globalism” :)
