CNN, often derided by President Trump as “very fake news”, has seen its viewership tank with no end in sight. Fox News reports:
CNN is suffering a credibility crisis as viewership for the once-proud network continues to crater with no apparent plan in place to fix things anytime soon, according to media watchdogs and insiders.
CNN’s audience shriveled in the second quarter of 2019, averaging only 541,000 total viewers while being more than doubled by Fox News Channel’s 1.3 million average in the process. But CNN struggled even more during the primetime hours of 8-11 p.m. ET, finishing as the fifteenth most-watched network on basic cable behind networks such as TLC, Investigation Discovery and the Hallmark Channel. CNN averaged a dismal 761,000 primetime viewers while FNC averaged 2.4 million.
The Hill media guru Joe Concha told Fox News that CNN’s freefall may not be slowing.
“The numbers warrant concern, yes. Q2 was a particularly news-rich quarter highlighted by the release of the Mueller report and all the aftermath and controversy following it, plus the launch of several high-profile Democratic candidacies including Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg to propel 2020 coverage into high gear,” Concha said. “It may only get worse in Q3 given the numbers we’re already seeing.”
Incapable of covering news events truthfully, Americans are tuning out CNN for Fox News or MSNBC, which though anti-Trump, covers the news more accurately.
Real journalism and investigative reporting has been dead for years. These idiots want to be the news not just report it. I remember my high school journalism class that taught me more that all the phony schooling of these fake news reporters.
Let the sobs CNN die out quickly as the fake-news hate-mongering smut it is today.
The secret to success relies upon truth. As soon as our President speaks on TV some TV cameras go off-trac rather than light up with truth and encouragement. The peddlers of trash news take over and lies and hatred take over. The trashers of our country are trying to teach our young children how to hate with such passion some kids can find little peace. Hatred is an ugly word and good people don’t need to ever use it. Just remember there is a God and ‘love one another’ is God’s way. Stressing people’s color differences has been the passion by the “haters” for the past many years and gangs have carried that lesson to the streets. Our precious youth have suffered as a result. W/o much thought or caring we are losing our children and our country to drugs as kids can’t survive hatred . There is a demon out there bent on destroying our country. Come on “good people.” Let’s rid ourselves of this demon and love God and each other. Let’s be grateful for our blessings and stop the hate. God bless America.
Wouldn’t our old buddy SOROS be helping this station…they can go on forever
with his money…somebody must be paying all those idiots and teaching
them how to turn truth into lies for their everyday news. They haven’t
changed in years…garbage and more garbage….Somebody is paying
the electric bill….I think it is our buddy SOROS who puts his hate in anything evil
and CNN is as evil as they get.
Of course they will recover, who do you think is paying the bills ? Their “revenue” clients ? LOL.
To enjoy more cable that tells the truth visit OANNews. Graham Ledger is their senior news person.
CNN was and now is known as the “Clinton News Network.” The Clintons are in trouble and now CNN is too!
Fox is no longer a reliable news source. The ONLY place to get the truth about the political situation in America is if you listen to radio. Most of America still has radio reporting the real news. Wonder how the left wingers stack up against the talk show hosts like Beck, Levin and Limbaugh? Bet the left would be embarrassed!!!
When Fox is the only Conservative type news channel and there are if my Computer is correct , 5 other major news outlets which some say are all left liberal media, now if you add all the other media together that is considered Liberal or left leaning, the then FOX is still when it comes to left viewers versus right viewers. One station comparison is kind of off the charts to prove any thing.
Too much whining plain and simple. Get rid of the whiners.
THEY WERE TOO DUMB TO GET THE MESSAGE THAT TO FAKE NEWS IT WOULD BRING THEM DOWN UNDER THE SIDEWALK!
Without the forced viewership at airports, CNN would only be viewed at cheap Chinese restaurants.
Lib-tards learn verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slowly, but when they get hit in the pocket book they learn a little faster . . . . that is, unless Satan-on-Earth-Soros doesn’t break out his checkbook and save them. 😊
At the end of the day. People regardless of politics just want REAL news with REAL facts with FAIR and UNBIASED reporting. Even our dogs can see right thru the BS.
Crazy Times prevail. ‘NO ONE’ is interested in Looney Tunes.
Oh, I LIKE Looney Tunes… But just as cartoons, not as a news source..
Murdoch’s little boys better watch their manners or suffer the same fate.
so true ; lets hope daddys spoiled brats don’t take fox news down the same path.
