Nolte: CNN Fails to Place One Show in Top 20 During Q1 of 2020
Breitbart ^ | 2 April 2020 | John Nolte

Posted on 04/02/2020 2:51:06 PM PDT by Magnatron

Far-left CNN failed to place even one show in the top 20 during the first quarter of this year.

Yes, you read that correctly… Despite the impeachment of a president and the coronavirus pandemic, the cable channel America used to automatically turn to in times of crisis could not do any better than number 22.

Fox News placed eight shows in the top ten and 14 in the top 20. The openly left-wing MSNBC filled those other slots.

CNNLOL finally arrives way behind its cable news competitors, at number 22, with Jake Tapper’s basement-rated The Lead, which still only managed to attract 1.387 million viewers. And Tapper probably only did that well because some of President Trump’s popular daily briefings aired during his otherwise anemic timeslot.

Sean Hannity topped everyone during the quarter with an average of 4.22 million viewers, which more than triples CNN’s top show.

In fact, the only Fox program CNN was able to beat was Fox and Friends First, which broadcasts before dawn and still managed to come in 40th with 721,000 average viewers. The pre-dawn Fox and Friends First humiliated CNNLOL’s disastrous morning show, New Day, which was only able to attract 580,000 average viewers.

Overall, Fox News had its biggest viewing quarter in the network’s history, averaging 3.4 million primetime viewers and 1.9 million total-day viewers.

CNNLOL was only able to average 1.43 million primetime viewers, with MSNBC coming in at 1.93 million.

Fox News beat both combined.

During primetime, CNNLOL managed to lose to ESPN (1.43 million compared to 1.5 million), even though sports events have been dead for weeks due to coronavirus cancellations.

“Zucker is a case study in the most destructive media executive ever to exist,” said a honcho at another network. “You’d have to tell me who else has taken a once-great network and literally destroyed it.”

-- Maureen Dowd, The Biggest Loser, The New York Times, January 12, 2010

The airports at near shutdown has probably removed 2/3 of CNN’s audience.

I like to put the viewership numbers into a local context to give it some perspective. So, average viewership for CNN and PMSDNC combined is approximately 130,000 people in Pennsylvania. That’s out of a population of 12.8 million. That is pathetic.

When you name your show for a heavy metal often used as ballast you shouldn't expect to be highly rated.

If this were a real business, everyone there would be fired. But we know it is simply the propaganda arm of the Democrat Socialists.
