May Ratings Crisis: CNN Did Not Place a Single Show in Top 25
Breitbart ^ | 6/1/2018 | John Nolte

Posted on 06/03/2018 6:49:00 PM PDT by Beave Meister

CNN’s ongoing ratings crisis has now reached the point where the far-left anti-Trump channel was unable to place a single show in the top 25 throughout the month of May. Worse still, the Stormy Daniels Network did not have a single show that managed to attract an average of even 900,000 total viewers, much less a million.

As my colleague Joshua Caplan reported earlier this week, the overall picture for CNN is disastrous. Even as Fox News climbed in the ratings, the hate-spewing CNN collapsed when compared to last year, a calamitous drop of -25 percent of primetime viewers.

CNN is doing so poorly, though, it does not even have a breakout star. Every hour is a ratings disaster. CNN’s best showing in May was Anderson Cooper 360, but his primetime hour placed at #26 with an average of only 888,000 viewers.

With the exception of Fox & Friends First, which airs at 4 a.m., every single show on Fox News — and this is important — every single show on Fox News, regardless of the hour it aired, beat CNN’s highest rated show.

Anderson Cooper, CNN’s top-rated show, also lost to a large part of MSNBC’s line up.

CNN: The most trusted name in News. Obviously, not that many people trust them.

Gee, you would think this state of affairs would generate a certain level of consternation in the upper management levels of Time Warner, which owns CNN.

But of course we know better. We know that CNN exists for some other purpose that is perceived only by those at the billionaire level, and has something to do with creating a one-world New World Order, a goal for which everything can be sacrificed, including the financial well-being of your shareholders.

All the big-wigs are cool with it, so who am I to ask questions.

Perhaps they should consider making Wolf Blitzer the face of CNN again?

Probably too white. They should lay a guilt trip on the desired demo by putting forth a lesbian or transsexual of color that's also an illegal alien.

CNN has made a smashing, positive move by shifting the morning host, Chris Coumo to the 9:00 PM slot going up against Sean Hannity (FNC) and Rachel Maddow (MSNBC). I think this will improve the CNN viewer ratings dramatically....”NOT”!!! CNN = Dumb, Dumber & Dumbest!!!
LMAO!!!

From a 2010 Maureen Dowd piece:

“Zucker is a case study in the most destructive media executive ever to exist,” said a honcho at another network. “You’d have to tell me who else has taken a once-great network and literally destroyed it.”

The man professionally destroys networks and programming, first by wrecking NBC, then starting the disastrous Katie Couric talk show, and now with CNN.

The right couldn't ask for a better ally than Jeff Zucker.

When The Onion is more trustworthy than CNN....

I think they haven't gotten over the fact their anointed candidate, Hillary Clinton, lost the 2016 Presidential election.

I’m waiting for the liberals to simply discount shows that “retarded conservatives watch” and declare CNN tops in rating.

CNN heads will soon start to roll at CNN.
It’s one thing to hate on Trump 24 hours a day.
It’s another to lose 25% of ad revenues.

If only there were only another hour in a day and another day in the week, they could trash Trump 25/8. That might give them the edge.

CNN Is tops in Collusion, Never News.

That’s their aim and function.

Zuck the audience size and demographics rating game.

Next month I go see my financial adviser, who has a large flat screen on her office wall with CNN running. The old bag is a diehard Hitlery supporter. If she did not take good care of my IRA I’d tell her where to go.

...with an average of only 888,000 viewers.

Does this include people who walk by a tv at the airport?
