Good day all. It\u2019s time for another standing headline. CNN\u2019s ratings continue to plummet! Yes, to the surprise of CNN management, more and more people are tuning out the Fake News Network.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The ratings are the some of the lowest in three years, and I suspect are only going to get worse. Here are the details, NOT from CNN, but form their arch enemy, Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

CNN’s 24\/7 Trump-bashing strategy doesn’t seem to be working.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The beleaguered network’s primetime hosts Anderson Cooper, Chris Cuomo<\/a> and Don Lemon celebrated Thanksgiving with the network\u2019s lowest-rated week in primetime viewership<\/a> in nearly three years. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fox News averaged 2.2 million viewers during the primetime hours of 9-11 p.m. ET from Nov. 25 through Dec. 1, while MSNBC averaged 1.3 million viewers during the same time period and CNN managed only 643,000 average viewers. It was CNN\u2019s worst performance in nearly three years and the liberal network\u2019s worst turnout among the key demographic of adults age 25-54 in over five years.<\/b><\/p>\n

CNN was beaten by MSDNC, the primary propaganda network for the Democrat Party? How did that happen?<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving didn\u2019t make for a slow news week, as CNN\u2019s hapless totals came amid ongoing news regarding impeachment hearings of President Trump, the controversy surrounding the handling of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, Mike Bloomberg launching a 2020 presidential bid, Trump\u2019s surprise trip to Afghanistan and significant weather-related stories. <\/b><\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s visit caught everyone by surprise, which it had to for security reasons. It\u2019s already cost the job of one \u201cJournalist\u201d at Newsweek who said that President Trump planned to play golf over Thanksgiving. (I think she was unjustly fired. She filed the report a day before Thanksgiving and was given no opportunity to correct it)<\/p>\n

CNN averaged only 138,000 primetime demo viewers \u2013 less than half of Fox News\u2019 average of 303,000 during the week. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As CNN posted historic lows, episodes of \u201cHannity,\u201d \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight,\u201d \u201cThe Ingraham Angle,\u201d \u201cThe Story with Martha MacCallum\u201d and \u201cSpecial Report\u201d with Bret Baier accounted for 15 of the 30 most-watched telecasts across all of cable during the holiday weekend.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, that\u2019s it, rub sulfuric acid soaked salt into the wound.<\/p>\n

Things don\u2019t seem to be on track to turn around for CNN, as the network\u2019s special town hall event with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the day she announced that articles of impeachment against President Trump were being drafted only averaged 1.6 million viewers and 410,000 in the demo on Thursday night, well behind both Fox News and MSNBC in both categories.<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m still surprised that CNN is being crushed by MSDNC. Still, this is all CNN\u2019s own fault. Specifically, it\u2019s the fault of CNN\u2019s President, Jeff Zucker. His hatred of President Trump and his orders to bash President Trump 24 hours a day, 7 days a week are now turning off everyone, and they are turning to Fox. I suspect that the ratings would be even worse if it wasn\u2019t for the captive audiences in airports around the world. Those TVs are locked on to CNN. (Travelers who are waiting for their flights have voiced their complaints too)<\/p>\n

I suspect that these ratings are going to be hitting the bottom line soon enough, if they haven\u2019t already. WarnerMedia\u2019s management isn\u2019t going to put up with this for to much longer. They have to answer to their shareholders. While no one expects a news network to make piles of cash, they do expect to break even or make a bit of a profit.<\/p>\n

If things get much worse, or the airports start turning off CNN, I think we may see a wholesale change in management at CNN, starting with Jeff Zucker \u201cSeeking new opportunities…elsewhere.\u201d It will take replacing most of the management and pretty much all the on air talent, and I use that term very loosely, if CNN wants to get it\u2019s credibility back.<\/p>\n
