Ratings Disaster: CNN Primetime Viewership Down 23% Year-over-Year
Big Journalism ^ | 8/22/18 | Justin Caruso

CNN suffered another ratings embarrassment last week, once again losing a significant amount of viewers in comparison to the same week last year.

AdWeek reports that in the week of August 13-19, CNN experienced a 23 percent drop in total viewer average during primetime in comparison to the same week in 2017. During the daytime, there was another drop in ratings of 24 percent since last year.

MSNBC only experienced a drop of 8 percent in primetime and 5 percent in daytime since last year. Fox News Channel, on the other hand, actually increased their viewership by 4 percent all around.

CNN’s ratings drop is not surprising given the network’s often hysterical coverage of the Trump White House.

The CIA does not care.

Do you think the KGB cared if Pravda had a high level of readership?

Excellent news. It means the people at being brainwashed quite as much as I thought.

My husband watches the leftie stations just to see what they are doing. I can’t stand to be in the room when he has them on. It is hate Trump, all the time. I guess their stories are so over-the-top that the lefties don’t want to watch them anymore.

The NFL disallows mass showings of the Super Bowl because they and their TV networks’ Nielsen ratings and ad revenue are based on screens/households.

It remains a mystery as to why and how CNN is (likely) permitted to include captive airport audiences in its viewership numbers based, I’m sure, on some fatuous calculation of impressions, viewing time per hours, etc.

CNN actually PAYS the airports to carry their special programming.

How much lower would their ratings be if the didn’t bribe airports to force their feed onto the monitors?

Question now becomes: who is financially supporting these losers? If they cannot execute a business plan, then perhaps they are paid propagandists?

Apparently CNN contracts with local airports and pays for the TV screens, installation and maintenance of equipment. And of course most major airports are located in Democrat strongholds.

I wouldn’t be surprised if local Dem politicians get a piece of the action.

How low does a news network’s ratings have to go before it is taken off the air?

If it wasn’t for the people in the control room, nobody would be watching CNN.

To paraphrase Chris Cuomo’s dad, CNN was never that great to begin with.
