Along with its ongoing ethical problems, a deceptive marketing campaign, and a continued hatred for non-liberal voices, it’s been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year for the Jeffrey Zucker-led CNN. And as per the latest Nielsen ratings, CNN has continued to hemorrhage viewers with primetime and entire day total viewership down over 70 percent since January.
Nielsen Media Research has the breakdown and it’s not pretty, no matter how the Zucker Borg would spin it. Since a January high of roughly 798,000 primetime viewers and 530,000 total day viewers in the 25-54 demographic, CNN has fallen off a cliff and into the pit of misery

Couldn't happen to a more deserving network.

Trump said "If they don't have me, they'll have nothing to talk about." He's right again, of course.
Anything bad that happens to CNN makes me smile.

My opinion is MSNBC is more difficult to watch than CNN.

Maybe that's an indicator of the 2022 Election. Democrats had better pay attention. Biden and his Henchmen are trying to shove as much of their Agenda down our throats as they can before the next election. I think they have no idea what is going to hit them! Republicans are quiet, planning and ready! The Battleground states are one by one going through Audits right now. Those Dominion machines are going to be a thing of the past so Democrats can't count on them. Many of the States are now only allowing Absentee Ballots, not mass mail in Ballots. Another way Democrats cheated down the drain. I think this next Election is going to Stun them when they find themselves out of power from the Local School Boards to the Congress. We will have to wait until 2024 to get rid of Biden, but he will lose all of his power in 22, so he will be back in his Delaware Basement most of the last two years of his Reign of Terror!

First prize for their performance goes to Don Lemon. Lies, racism and hatred is not a winning formula. Under a million viewers is really, really sad.

#9 Nah, they didn't even accomplish that. CNN was all noised furry amounting to noting. Dominion quietly accomplished that task. We were looking in the wrong direction, so I guess the head fake worked.

With less than a million viewers why is CNN included in every basic cable TV subscription, over 90 million subscriptions?
The dollars. Through monthly cable TV subscriptions CNN gets a Dollar a month from every subscriber. 90 mill a month, a billion+ a year. Without this racket CNN dies.

Who would advertise on CNN?
I don't think it would be worth spending the money when you aren't reaching anyone.
Their are you tuber's with higher ratings.

...And they STILL don't get it. Insisting 75 million Trump voters should leave the country and be replaced by refugees. Good grief!

The problem is the Chinese New Network is they are still quoted daily and used as a source for articles to keep 'their public' informed with lies of success in their party. It's the same with the AP, WP or NYT lies but they don't care. They all perform for their own entertainment in their tightening small circle, viewers and readers be damned.
I don't believe they have 30% viewership for one minute but we will never know polls are skewered.

They do not care how many viewers they have, because the left wing advertisers will support them no matter what. AND, of course, they are part of the bundles for Broadband platforms, even if they have zero viewers.

CNN is not a news network. It is a Leftist opinion network. Regardless of how much their pathetic talent pool love themselves they have Corporate sponsors who are bleeding money and their patience will eventually run out. Zuckerberg will get the boot, but the sickness goes far below him. When they have to start accepting ads from Mr. Pillow you will know the end is near.

CNN is on in my house only as long as it takes to change channels. What are those who use to watch, watching now? CNN's ratings were never any good to begin with, but those that were watching, were probably watching because it was always trash Trump tv. Now that Trump is gone, there's no reason for them to watch CNN.

I'm a Democrat, or used to be, but never watch CNN because when I want the news, I want the news, not lies. Fox and MSNBC also tell lies but not as blatant. I get my news from the internet. I discontinued my newspaper subscription because of paper's use of Associated Press and New York Times lies and slanted story bi-lines. Sweet Jesus, doesn't anyone tell the truth anymore?

70% reduction in viewership is not enough. Only 100% is adequate.

The 30% is in airports and other places where the viewers can't control the channel. Doesn't mean any of them are watching.
