Senior CNN executives are panicking after the network suffered a devastating 23 percent drop in viewers last week during primetime.
The embattled news network is literally hemorrhaging viewers as even die-hard fans switch off in their droves due to the CNN’s unrelenting attacks against President Trump.
AdWeek data shows that in the week of August 13-19, CNN suffered a further 23 percent drop in total view average in comparison to the same week in 2017.
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.
Just this week, anti-Trump CNN commentator Ana Navarro attacked First Lady Melania Trump, joking that she “suffered oxygen deprivation to the brain.”
CNN also relies heavily on a “food fight” formula where panelists who disagree are brought on to segments to argue with each other.
The network keeps a handful of pro-Trump contributors around, inviting them on air to argue with anti-Trump commentators. This often produces bizarre moments–last weekend, CNN analyst Phil Mudd melted down on air after pro-Trump contributor Paris Dennard pointed out that individuals with security clearances can use those clearances in the private sector to financially benefit them.
“We’re done. We’re done. Get out!” Mudd snarled.
The network has engaged in direct activism in the past year, with some CNN reporters openly trying to get Alex Jones’ Infowars banned from social media platforms.
CNN was also widely criticized last year after tracking down and threatening to reveal the identity of the creator of a humorous, edited gif of President Trump tackling a CNN logo.
Finally, the network reached a new low when some of its’ commentators defended and excused far-left political violence. Most notably, Chris Cuomo has excused Antifa violence committed against “bigots.”
No one likes state-run media. Which is what TV essentially has become as a whole. Cable cutting movement has grown leaps and bounds. Get rid of it. Save your braincells and money.

Wow. So a bunch of c- grade actors who couldn't into real Hollywood sit around reading the same pre-scripted "reports" passed out to every other deep state run "news" organization is NOT really that popular? Who'da thunk.

What the hell? Why did THAT trigger him?

Good grief. Just watched the vid. The faggot is sticking out his lower lip like a pouting 5 year old.

Reminds me that your TV receiver box is an informant that freely gives out data on what you watch, when you watch it and for how long. Wouldn't be suprised if they start, or already have, a sensor/camera that can tell if someone is actually sitting in front of the TV rather than just what is being received.
Cut the cable, anything you want to watch can be found online and without ads, and free if you're resourceful.

Microsoft Kinect + cameras in many smart TVs, supposedly for "your convenience", gaming, taking selfies, actually the long term plan is to charge per viewer for PPV events
William Roberts
It was in the script. Someone in the industry once said something like "the news, just like regular programming, is nothing more than filler for the viewer to watch between the commercials"

And nothing of value was lost.

I like to watch CNN on youtube
Hudson Sanders
I don't watch CNN., I watch Colbert destroy Trump every night

Except fox news is up in ratings, which might just mean they had pretty low ratings to begin with but still.
I had a theory that most books ever published (before very modern printing) were controlled opposition or published with the direct consent of the state, I don't see why news television wouldn't be.
Jacob Cook
if I remember correctly fox has always had high ratings because they're the only news show that dares air content to the right of the american center. The communists just like to create a narrative that fox is nothing because it helps them with their ad populium fallacies and cognitive dissonance.
Fox has the ratings because it actually plays to its base rather than trying to mold them. MSNBC and CNN always side with corporate and military interests which the left is generally against. Combine that with a constantly walking on the sjw tightrope and you are sure to have weary viewers. Sure they make you feel superior, but smugness is not as nearly as captivating as conviction and passion.
Anthony Perez
This. Since the news has to run 24/7 to keep the advertisers coming, they have to keep broadcasting, even when nothing ‘newsworthy’ is going on. So they make it a show, so their viewers keep passively consuming mindless bullshit so that the advertisers will stay around.
Bentley Brooks
I get all my news from Zig Forums. This place is full of red-pilled fags…a few blue-pilled shills too but they're easy to spot.
Most leftist media is this, MSNBC is just as bad as CNN.
Nicholas Brown
I wonder though if this isn't just all such genius
They drive support for their lackey Trump while simultaneously saving money on a fraud operation that too many people are awake to anyway

fucking boomers,fox is AIDS. its just people discussing a single neocuck bill to cut spending to schools and send it to israel all day long.
golly gee bob, that school needs a roof!
That's socialism katy, we are against that in AMERICA
bob, that is not true we all pay taxes in this state and they should be spent appropriately how will kids study in a school without a roof!
Katy, we have always coped! america strong. america should help the world with its strength!
Moishe lebensberg has to walk to school through palestinians and only has a basic model macbook air, if we care about fighting terrorism we must give them aid! you don't hate america do you!
Here for another angle is big bob matt faggot in a cowboy hat!
Its true, she is definitely a commie and our greatest ally deserves all the support uncle sam can give her!
Joshua Price
Then why is there some terrorism or our troops puff piece every hour?
Noah Cook
The Nightly news by cbs is the only thing which can pass for real news in america. a proper newsprogram in the traditional sense which lasts for an hour.
cnn and fox are hyperpartisan pieces of shit,discussing and editorializing all the news instead of telling you what fucking happened. which is the entire fucking point people tune in to watch that shit in the first place!
MSNBC isn't complete AIDS,compared to cnn and fox it is good along with one america news network. more bias, but the stories are not editorialized and discussed to shit.
The only thing fox is good for is family guy and the simpsons when adult swim isn't running.
Oliver Ross
Single motherhood is how all leftists are made. Without a man in their lives while they're growing up, some men turn into worthless, pathetic eunucks. They essentialy turn into women. They become so desperate for approval that they tailor their personalities to be as non-offensive to women as possible. These leftist soy people are the most pathetic people on the planet. Just a reminder. Great news regarding CNN, BTW.
Levi Kelly
Its all AIDS. I cut the cable cord long ago realizing I was funding pure cancer.
Cooper James
Despite the old memes, fox isnt nearly as partisan as the other news corporations.
For example they were 60% negative 40% positive towards Trump in the recent election cycle. Where as CNN was over 99% negative.

Fuck off, Zig Forums. You shills are so damn retarded. MSNBC is the most partisan and dishonest channel on TV.
Luke Roberts
Are you for real? They made fools out of themselves and the network on purpose?
Asher Cooper
lol It wouldn't surpirse me if many of the reporters are members of Antifa. Only old Marxist loons watch that shit.
