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.

“CNN is basically the propaganda wing of the Democratic (sic) Party.”

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.

The CNN turd is swirling in the toilet bowl after being flushed by the American public.

They had a channel there called H&I, which stands for ‘Heroes and Icons’.

I'm watching it right now, my main channel. Each night they show consecutive episodes of Star Trek from the four different series. In the mornings, they show westerns, with Steve McQueen, Paladin, and other classics.

Yes they have Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue and The Commish. Plus Xena Warrior Princess and Hercules.

CNN is basically the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party.

Don't forget MSNBC.

The "mainstream" news outlets seem to be vying with each other to see who can be the best Ministry of Propaganda for the Democrats and Swamp...

CNN is like Spinal Tap.

Second billing to a puppet show.

CNN will never be able to out-PMSNBC PMSNBC.

trying to become the hysterical lesbian channel is a mistake when there already is an hysterical lesbian channel.
