Ratings Collapse: CNN Now Losing To Nick-At-Nite In Prime Time Ratings War
The Federalist ^ | July 6, 2017 | The Federalist Staff

Posted on 07/06/2017 5:17:31 PM PDT by Rockitz

Last week, more Americans tuned in to watch re-runs of “Yogi Bear,” “Full House,” and “Friends” on Nick At Nite than to watch Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon’s shows on CNN.

According to cable ratings from the week of June 26-July 2, CNN’s viewership of its primetime shows was ranked significantly lower than its competitors like Fox News and MSNBC, which place first and second respectively. Clocking in at No. 10 on the list, CNN fell behind HGTV, Nick At Nite, History Channel, and ESPN — the sports network that’s been hemorrhaging viewers for months.

CNN’s ratings nosedive corresponds with the network’s ongoing feud with President Donald Trump. Last week, Trump tweeted out a GIF of himself appearing to pummel a wrestler with CNN’s logo superimposed over the latter’s face. The network has covered the tweet nearly nonstop ever since. It also went after the Redditor who made the GIF and threatened to dox him unless he apologized and promised to never say anything CNN dislikes again — a move that drew much criticism and may have been illegal.

On July 4, CNN published a fake quote from Abraham Lincoln. On Thursday morning, the network falsely claimed German Prime Minister Angela Merkel had chosen the location of the G20 summit to sabotage Trump.

-- Rush has a different perspective on it. He believes the MSM is so strong and powerful that the Democrat party is a wing of the MSM. --

Two different departments of the same operation. Sometimes one has stronger players, sometimes the other. Both are uniparty, and will shift with the winds of popular gullibility.

-- Get rid of CNN everywhere! --

CNN also has an internet "print" operation. Google consistently gives that tripe a space at or near the top of Google's news aggregation.

This is great! Thank you for speaking up!

I try to do this whenever I can, mostly at doctor’s offices. And I wish the VA would stop putting CNN on their TV’s.

Maybe if enough people started speaking up, things would change.

Sadly, the rats fleeing the CNN ship are going over to MSNBC which just might be fake news on steroids.

“It may actually be worth it to tune in to watch these fools turn on each other as they attempt to protect their own bloated salaries.”

Only if they engage in to-the-death Thunderdome cagematch elimination bouts between pairs of their “journalists”.

Two go in and one comes out!!

CNN is part U.S. State Department? Or is that just tinfoil?

So, it wouldn’t be surprising, seeing as how Google receives a good bit of money from......

Tinfoil, IMO. The government does fund or support propaganda efforts, some of that openly (Voice of America), some of it covertly (CIA assets in press operations throughout the world, including the US - see Operation Mockingbird). It may be that some part of the US government pays funds to CNN International. Not likely to be a clear public trail for that, though.

Oh, I’m sure. It was just a rumor so I haven’t looked at it.

I explained Google to some coworkers years ago. They were absolutely clueless and basically called it tinfoil. Then, amazingly, the article, further down, mentioned it in a backhanded way. One of them read on and saw it while one was still shaking his head and basically claiming tinfoil.

Of course, I remember one guy who was certain all the money arrived via “advertising”. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
