Nolte: Doomed CNN’s Primetime Ratings Hit 33-Year Low
Breitbart ^ | 05/23/2024 | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 05/23/2024 8:25:50 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

“CNN suffered its worst ratings among primetime viewers in the most coveted demographic by advertisers” since 1991, reports the New York Post.

Glorious.

“The [disgraced] cable channel … drew just 83,000 viewers aged 25 to 54 during the week of May 13-19 from 8 to 11 p.m. — its lowest-rated week since 1991, according to Nielsen.”

Glorious!

“Fox News garnered more than twice the audience in the key demo, with 186,000 viewers, according to Nielsen. Left-leaning MSNBC was a distant second with 111,000, the data showed.”

GLORIOUS.

Struggling CNN dropped into fourth place behind Newsmax for prime time viewership ratings last Friday night, the slump following a rare climb to the top driven by Donald Trump’s town hall appearance. https://t.co/LTQRhfhu3p

In order to understand this poltically, though, you need to combine the MSNBC numbers with CNN and compare those to Fox.

Combined it was 194k to 186k, so lefties are ahead.

Now a while ago, before Fox got rid of Tucker, they were beating the leftie channels combined. Fox pissed that away with stupid management.

The ratings are not important. CNN is a tool. They are the launchpad for the current MSM narrative. They could be diwn to 12 viewers and it would not change anything

CNN and, more importantly, Disney/ABC are primed for a conservative take over.

Disney could form the cornerstone of a conservative media empire.

I’d like to see it done on a grass roots level, akin to how Game Stop was done, as that would avoid “poison pill” restrictions. A populist take over.

Have Trump take 4%. And Musk another 4%. (4% being the magic reporting number). About 15 billionaires could form the cornerstone with the rest filled in by grass roots.

Replace the board and then the execs, then start cramming down policies.

Put Tucker Carlson in charge of ABC.

This has been happening for at least a decade - low ratings, etc. Yet somehow CNN keeps managing to stay on the air. Ditto for MSMBC.

Gotta get out that “Orange Man Bad” narrative, even though no no one is listening....

Since 1991? I find it hard to believe CNN’s ratings were that bad in 1991. Following up from the Gulf War? No way.

Almost all of cable news is dying. Nobody buys their lies.

Do you mean to tell me that 83,000 people actually watch CNN?

That must include the ones in airports.

Not CNN, but it easily could have been.

Donald Trump is keeping CNN afloat. Irony lovers are fainting from the overload.
