CNN axes Charles Barkley and Gayle King’s weekly show ‘King Charles’ after 6 months
NY POST ^ | 4/15/2024 | Ariel Zilber

The CNN weekly prime time talk show co-hosted by basketball loudmouth Charles Barkley and CBS morning star Gayle King has ended a six-month run that failed to produce ratings.

The weekly call-in show “King Charles,” which aired at 10 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday nights failed to generate more viewers than reruns of the sitcom “Friends” and episodes of “South Park.”

It was the lowest-rated prime time weeknight series debut for CNN in at least a decade, according to Nielsen.

Another CNN Flop. Gayle King has 0 talent and is only known because of Oprah.

Barkley is a TDS loudmouth.

The two offer excellent zero value.

Gayle has turned CBS Mornings into "CBS Mornings for Black stories" and it's terrible.

Would you rather listen to a loudmouth or an intellectual? Most people would rather be entertained. The loudmouths have a shorter shelf life. Look at how long Savage lasted on MSNBC-remember?

If those two losers had been white, CNN would have canceled the show after six hours, not months.

LOL.

Frank Caliendo sitting in as “Charles Barkley” would have generated better ratings than these two losers.

If CNN were to be honest about their talent lineup, they’d axe their entire 24-hour shows and hosts, and start over, or just disappear completely. CNN and MSNBC exist only to support and advance the democrat’s agenda, but when it comes to viewer ratings, they’ve failed.

I guess that's the business model they have chosen, Leftist activism.

So they “axed” Charles and Gayle to leave. Axing them legally, and ebonically.

CNN will soon be seeking government assistance since the free market is unwilling to support “the truth”.

Propaganda organs don’t care about ratings.

I worked around my share of black women over the years, if they are any indication I really can’t say I blame blacks for being with white women.

White women are generally easier to deal with.

Yeah. Occasionally, over the years, Barkley would say something that made me think “He gets it” and in the next breath, he would say something that indicated he not only didn’t “get it” but was an arrogant racist.
