CNN has bad week amid April Ryan, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon news: ‘It was quite embarrassing’

It’s been another rough week for CNN as the network suddenly has a plethora of off-screen issues in addition to its usual ratings struggles.

“Just when one thought things couldn't get any worse for CNN, they did,” NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck told Fox News.

“In CNN's current form, they've always had putrid ratings, disingenuous personalities and a pathetic inability to simply cover the news – instead fearmongering the small, anti-Trump audience into submission – but this past week was possibly the worst ever in totality.”

I believe it. I live in a blue state and the only time my family or I even glance at CNN is when we’re at the gym and therefore a captive audience. Sad.

Anytime CNN is embarrassed, by the slime bags that work there, I am happy. 👍

Yeah, our gym is MSNBC or CNN. If you’re on a machine, watch OANN or Breitbart on your iPad or phone. That’s what I do.

My gym actually alternates between TVs turned to CNN and TVs turned to FOX. I can’t always get a treadmill in front of the FOX TVs however.

I think they know it which is why they keep the blood-red graphics and BREAKING NEWS flashing on the screen constantly.

Their viewer just doesn’t care. He doesn’t have to.

Isn’t there a point where the loss of revenue from poor ratings is just too much to sustain and we can rejoice in the cancellation of the network? Who has that much cash to burn?

I always tune the TVs near me away from the news ones to the travel and lifestyle ones. I get basically no complaints for doing so. Used to like watching Lynne Russell back when she was on CNN Headline News but that was a different time and place, lol.

If CNN were capable of embarrassment, it would never show its face again!

I just returned from Greece. CNN was one of the only English language TV programs (BBC and Blumberg News were the others). I’m sure Europeans and confused about what’s going on in America, but the honest and intelligent, like the honest and intelligent in America, read between the lines for the truth, just as the people behind the Iron Curtain did during the days of the Soviet Union.

It’s the same all over Europe. Try watching France 24 or BBC.

You have to have a sense of shame to be embarrassed, CNN has no sense of shame.

Not when your owner is a socialist and is committed to the cause of destroying capitalism and the United States of America.
