A veteran industry insider’s comment yesterday nailed it:

CNN’s ratings are indeed in free fall across the entire network, and [CEO Chris] Licht has done absolutely nothing to clean up a toxic waste dump after 7 months in the job other than to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. CNN is closer to low-rated Newsmax [in the ratings] at this point than the rest of cable news. Their brand has been destroyed. [emphasis added]

Having jokers on TV spouting lies for the Democrat Party is really not that entertaining. Thus the ratings fall.

CNBC’s $10 million a year man Shep Smith is out after two yearsBig news this week in the world of left-wing mainstream cable news.
With twenty mil Dollars, even if the government takes half, if properly invested and he has any smarts he should be set for life.

Let’s look at the market shall we?

The Left id covered by - PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS

Far Left is covered by MSNBC, CNN

The RINO right is covered by Fox

The Populist/MAGA right is covered by nobody

And those on the Left are dying. What to do, what to do.....I just can’t figure it out. Does anybody see an opportunity to gain instant market share with no competition?

I was flipping last night and noticed Tom Cotton shilling his new book On Tapper.

I couldn't believe how softball the questions posed to Cotton by Tapper were. Felt like I was in an alternate universe. Appears that Tapper is one of the few regulars who is acquiescing to the “Licht vision” to save his job.

Go back to being just straight news. Fire all the opinion show people.

The reason people in the 80’s and 90s turned into CNN was because they actually had correspondents out in the world covering real things like the war in Iraq. They had some good looking women and men. Remember the “scud stud”?

Fire all the personalities. Put it out streaming for FREE.

I see CNBC dumped Shemp Smith’s show. LOL. Poor Shemp. He’s going to have to start buying his mascara at the dollar stores.

Their too dumb to go back to their roots. The even ruined Headline News.

Just bring back HLN as originally formatted and skip the editorial opinion shows.

I’m frankly surprised that CNN hasn’t blamed their free fall on the COVID scamdemic. Wasn’t a lot of their revenue coming from all the airport monitors showing nothing but CNN blather? And since the FauXi-induced shutdown of the world economy, isn’t flying down substantially?

Go back to original format (24 hours of news and weather). Top of the hour national news then sports, then local , then weather, then repeat.

Get rid of all talking heads and opinion pieces.

Hire NEWS READERS not reporters. No “stars”. Only one at the desk at anyone time (and no “happy talk”)

Hire editors to take news off the wires and edit it from the left bias to neural (remove all adjectives that show bias).

The American people want an unbiased source for news, if CNN gave it to them they would return.

Another PDJT prediction comes true. He warned them they’d crash and burn if he wasn’t in office.
