First quarter reports are in for the ratings and CNN didn’t land one single show in the top 20. The best CNN was able to do was come in 22nd place and have a few shows listed after that.

Proof that the only people who watch CNN are trapped at airports.

But.... hardly anyone is flying these days. Airports are NOT crowded. ;-)

Cable TV bundling means they can ride the coattails of profitable channels. They're part of a package deal; part of every basic cable subscription whether you want them or not.

I look at CNN and MSNBC and I can’t help wondering:

Which politicians, in the democrat party, do their TV personnel like so much and admire so much that they are willing to lie, protect, defend at any cost, even their integrity? I would love them to give us some names.

Which one of the democrat policies appeals so much to them that they sacrifice their whole careers to coddle them and try to destroy their opponents?

I just find it, objectively, hard to believe that there are some reasonably intelligent people who have motives that I do not understand.

Sounds like they’ll eventually have to fight ZNN for ratings. ZNN is a fictional TV news network on several Paramount Pictures productions and CBS television shows. “NCIS” for one.

If you have cable TV, then you are.

People don’t understand how cable TV works. The cable companies contract for content. Often providers of content will bundle channels together. To get one program they want they have to carry a bunch they don’t want.

Anyway, CNN gets a small percentage of everyone’s cable bill. A small percentage of millions of subscribers is still a lot of money. That is on top of any money from advertises (and the Chinese government if any). So ratings are not the end all be all in the Cable News business model.

So cnn cuts away from Trump's pressers so that jim acosta can offer his views on Trump's presser.

This is a sure fire plan to boost ratings, and the results speak for themselves.

They are doing what they are suppose to. Left wing mouthpiece. They don’t care about ratings.
