Donna Summer sings, "No one seems to know her name, and even less about the place from where she came," in her 1976 song Lady of the Night.

There is an axiom in the news business that says if you lie to your core audience, that core audience will abandon you once the truth is revealed — and the truth is always revealed. It’s an axiom that MSNBC should have heeded. For most of a year, the network’s ratings have been steadily improving with one of its hosts, Rachel Maddow, garnering double-digit increases to become MSNBC‘s prime-time behemoth, surpassing, on some nights, Fox News rival Sean Hannity. And for that same period, Maddow and the rest of the network’s ‘talent’ line-up pushed the Russian collusion hoax to viewers.

Ace of Spades calls attention to the latest cable-news ratings, as reported by @RoadMN on Twitter, and it really is astonishing how bad CNN ratings are. It’s not just the fact that Fox News is stomping the crap out of CNN in prime time where, for example, Tucker Carlson’s 8 p.m. ET audience (3.14 million viewers) is three times larger than Anderson Cooper’s (1.03 million). CNN’s ratings are so low that no show on the network rates higher than 28th in all cable news programming. You see that the highest-rated hour on CNN (Chris Cuomo at 9 p.m. ET) has...

The cable news ratings for November have been tallied, and the fake news factory that is CNN found itself in a distant last place behind second-place MSNBC. As has been the case forever, Fox News held the top spot.Fox News trounced CNN in every conceivable metric, most especially in total viewers.
