History Channel’s ‘Ancient Aliens’ Outperforms CNN In Primetime
Breitbart ^ | 08/14/18 | Katherine Rodriguez

CNN tanked in the cable ratings between August 6 and August 12, losing out to Fox News, MSNBC, and even the History Channel show Ancient Aliens, according to the latest data from Nielsen Media Research.

CNN’s competitors, Fox News and MSNBC, defeated CNN handily in the ratings war this week. Fox News took the number one slot for primetime viewership at 2.18 million viewers, and MSNBC came in second with 1.75 million viewers.

CNN finished in a distant seventh place, attracting 992,000 average viewers and falling behind HGTV, USA, the History Channel, and TBS in the weekly ratings.

The primetime lineup for the History Channel includes the show Ancient Aliens, a show which delves into the conspiracy theories behind aliens, while CNN’s lineup features hosts Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo. The History Channel had 1.06 million viewers in primetime this week.

The network did not fare much better in the ratings for its daytime programming. CNN finished in sixth place, lagging behind Fox News, HGTV, Nickelodeon, MSNBC, and Investigation Discovery.

Well, reruns of The Donna Reed Show or Green Acres or even The Waltons would be more appealing fare than CNN.

Heh, that wild haired “I’m not saying it’s aliens, but it’s aliens.” guy is more believable than the sum of Collaboration News Network’s collection of clowns.

I believe my old classmate, Dave Childress, puts out those Ancient Aliens shows.

He did an impression of an East Coast snob that really cracked me up.

He’s also extremely brave.

Finish them off. Let’s pass legislation that allows a la carte cable.

Is it possible that the failure of modern political propaganda from affecting the majority of the population are the result of pre-historic tampering of the human genome? Ancient alien experts believe they had the foresight to predict CNN

Used too?

He has between 30 to 40 million listeners a week.

His videos combined on the Web had more than 5 Billion views.

Now you know why they censored him.

CNN can only fantasize those numbers. No one watches them and I think the only reason why they even register is because at Airports, Train Stations and Bus Terminals they pay them to broadcast their Fake News.

Or reruns of The Doris Day Show or the 1.98 Beauty Show or Nine to Five (1982 TV adaptation of movie) or Tattletales on GSN

The bad news is if you add CNN & MSNBC together they beat FNC.
