Nolte: CNN Death Spiral — Ratings Drop to 396,000 Total Viewers
Breitbart ^ | 06/20/2204 | JOHN NOLTE

CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and political violence, is in a glorious ratings death spiral, the likes of which we have never seen before.

Nothing can save CNNLOL — not even a tight presidential race, a presidential nominee convicted in a kangaroo court, an open border, an explosion in violent crime, or two major wars. Throughout the week of June 10, CNN was only able to attract an average of 396,000 viewers throughout the total day.

That is astonishing.

During its dreadful primetime hours, CNN dropped below 500,000 total viewers for the week to a pathetic average of just 477,000.

CNN is really collapsing in the most important arena, the 25-54 age demo that determines advertiser rates. CNN averaged only 80,000 demo viewers during primetime and 69,000 throughout the total day.

This does not count all viewers. And so not their overall influence.

Missing are foreign audiences on their own cable systems, which do not figure in US surveys, but do generate ad revenue, plus online repeats and clips on youtube, social media, etc.

CNN is THE US news service outside the US. Its influence abroad is way greater than one woukd think.

Definitely a reduction in traditional US audience reach, but thats not everything.

all they have to do is start investigating the Biden crime family and Bidens use of the justice department to attack political foes. In addition to selective justice targeting conservatives, you also have unequal application of the law based on political affiliation.

They could be investigating ALL of that, and getting ratings through the roof, but instead they continue to push their lying garbage.

CNN Airport was a separate channel, never included in ratings, as it was not the same as home CNN. It’s out of business for quite some time. Couldn’t compete with airport wifi.

It’s just proof that the News Business isn’t really about “news” and it’s also not about “business”.

I figure most of the News Business is really just CIA and funded by taxpayers through black budgets.

Most of the CNN viewers are trapped in airports, bus terminals, old age homes, and coffee shops where the volume is turned off.

477,000 average during prime time? I’ll bet they get over 1 million for the debate between Biden and Trump (assuming it doesn’t get canceled on the grounds that Trump is a convicted felon).

Math is fun. Divided by the number of states, it comes out to 7,920 per state. Divided by the number of incorporated cities, it comes out to 20 per city. HA HA!!!!

What is the margin of error in these surveys?

I believe it is plus or minus 100,000 to 200,000. I also believe these surveys overcount viewers of legacy media.

The true totals are most likely less than the article says.

Seems like 396k viewers should be too low to qualify for the presidential debates.

Ah the great AOL-TimeWarner merger. Our children ask what are these things you speak of Old One? All gone son all gone along with Sears, Montgomery Ward, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, and bell bottom bluejeans. The detritus of a bad idea lingers on in the form of CNN.

CNN gets as many viewers as the 3rd rated radio station in Chicago gets in listeners.

This is CNN.

This is WVAZ-FM, Chicago.
