If CNN’s show The Lead With Jake Tapper were a dinner party, you’d cancel it because so many guests bailed out.
Just look at the viewership numbers. Tapper’s weekday show, which was just expanded to two hours in April has already lost 75% of its viewers. Worse, the viewership shrunk by 49% from the first to the second quarter of this year.
Wait, the news gets even worse – or better, depending on your point of view – than that.
Fox News reports that losing 3/4 of the audience is bad enough, but in the crucial demographic 25-54, CNN’s viewership has tanked.
Tapper has also lost significant viewers among the key news demographic of adults age 25-54, dropping 79% of January’s audience during the first three weeks of June in his timeslot. Tapper’s show is down 47% in the second quarter compared to Q1 among the category most coveted by advertisers.
The show is circling the drain.
Glub, glub.
After President Trump lost the 2020 general election – for which a CNN director took credit in a Project Veritas expose´ – the cable network scrambled to find something else to talk about besides bashing the 45th president.
James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas captured CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester on video bragging about overstating the former president’s medical ills, intentionally misstating COVID death numbers to make things look worse for Trump, and used “propaganda” against him.

They don’t need viewers to make money.

If it wasn’t for George Soros’s money keeping their CEO’s paid off, and the doors to the newsroom kept open, CNN would have been all the way to the septic tank by now.
Pravda in the Soviet Union and People’s Daily in China never concerned themselves with “audience demographics,” who was viewing during prime hours, and they certainly didn’t worry where money for paychecks was coming from
CNN is no different.
Too bad the FCC doesn't enforce the "public good" doctrine when it comes to CNN's lying on the air.
Oh, I wanna look, I want to watch them circle the drain flailing their arms. I want to hear them scream.
That’s what happens when you support libwads: Initially they reward you to convince others that they should also abandon the right: Then they drop the hammer to show that there’s no one, not even the biggest sellout, who can’t and won’t be replaced. (If they didn’t already sell out their own family and friends, they will do that next.) Eventually everyone gets eliminated except for a small handful of individuals. That’s how it’s supposed to work.
Of course they do. Plus no viewers equals no power or influence.
CNN gets half of its revenue from cable subscriber fees. CNN gets a cut of every check written to the cable tv company.
Dump cable tv.
Sink CNN.
Too bad he has the same low-life, maybe worse, mindset as CNN
Except Pravda and The People's Daily etc were financed by The Communist Parties, which are not here to finance CNN.
CNN has been circling the sewer for years and is about to fall in for good.
It’s AT&T keeping CNN, the Leader in Fake News afloat.
Boycott!
How can that be? I thought America loved communism??
The democrat super elites, who hire/control/fire the media/mediots, will keep them employed as long as they are useful to their causes. As you noted: “That’s how it’s supposed to work.”
“That’s what happens when you support libwads: Initially they reward you to convince others that they should also abandon the right: Then they drop the hammer to show that there’s no one, not even the biggest sellout, who can’t and won’t be replaced.

That’s how it’s supposed to work.”
We also dropped AT&T for our cell phones because they own CNN.
