CNN’s "The Lead with Jake Tapper" has shed a staggering 75% of its audience since the liberal network experienced a January spike in viewers.
Tapper’s program averaged 2.8 million viewers in January but settled for only 706,000 in the 4 p.m. ET timeslot from May 31 through June 23, losing three-quarters of its audience in the process. Tapper’s second-quarter viewership is down 49% compared to the first quarter. While January featured a historic news cycle with the Capitol riot, the inauguration of President Biden and the lead-up to former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial, his direct timeslot competition on Fox News
I find even 700k viewers of CNN to be an unbelievable number. Maybe if you counted ever airport concourse with a TV tuned into that bilge.
Fake Krapper is fake news. When Trump speaks about fake news, this and Acosta are the poster children for it.

It NEEDED shedding! No big loss. If you are partial to CNN your guess is as good as theirs as to what's going on. Make up your own news.

The invisible hand of the marketplace just reached up and changed the channel.

And yet the communist news network's advertisers continue to prop up cnn. Talk about pouring useless marketing money down a rabbit hole.

Yea, wasn't Trump good for viewership? And now numbers and revenues are plummeting back to where they were 5 years ago.

Hopefully CNN goes into bankruptcy gets sued by several for peddling hateful fake news that caused many to suffer.

They're reaping what they've been sowing for years.
You sow hate and lies, you end up with a negative.

Without the 24/7 Trump-bashing they got nuffin' There are enough sickos in the country to feed off that diet alone. Their biggest mistake was calling it "news."

To be honest I don't know who Jake Tapper is I've never seen the person only hear of him here. About a week ago I found out who Mr. Potato Head is as he is known on a short YouTube video. I have to doubt the viewership numbers of CNN like everything liberals report.

Don't expect this to last. DJT is on the road, and the Commie Left feasts on "Orange Man Bad" stories. This is just the lull before the storm. Cyrus Vance III for instance. He may not have enough to bring a case att, but leaks out of his office of all his made up charges will be dumped on the airwaves soon, so DJT can be tried by the MSM.

Jake Tapper is most unpleasant with a natural sour and scowling look on his face. That, plus he's nasty and condescending.

Jake Tapper's pose as a "journalist" is a joke. Before he came to CNN he was a propagandist for a gun confiscation group. Jake Tapper has never held a job in media that didn't involve dishing straogjt-up propaganda.

I haven't watched anything on CNN in 40 years. The call letters CNN means don't watch this channel.

Couldn't happen to a better fake news guy...CNN is not about the news for the day... it's a democrat propaganda arm for socialism...and they now reap that which they sow...the ole moderate democrats are leaving them in droves... and my millennial grandchildren are finally waking up...they even told me they watched President Trump's rally from Ohio...Holy Cow... it's starting to turn around... one step at a time folks....

CNN hasn't been in airports since April. Jake is doing this all on his own.

Just a guess here but I'd say cnn's business model is not very good.

why do liberal businesses never seem to have any real business people on their boards that are responsive to stockholders? I.e., where are the adults watching the performance of CNN, NYT, etc. and saying "we gotta change something: this ain't workin'?"

The real shocker is that anyone with a positive number IQ would still be watching that wooden-headed DNC apologist

All you out there that get your TV in a bundle that contains CNN you are supporting them. They don't need any watchers as long as they are in the TV bundles. Cut the cord.

If your a regular viewer of CNN and you see that 75% of the viewers have left and yet your still watching? You might start to wonder what the hell is wrong with you?

Jake the Fake Crapper always looks like he’s smelling his own flatulence. I haven’t watched anything on CNN since they became the Clinton News Network back in the 90s. This is good news though and I hope Fake’s ratings in particular and CNN’s in general continue to fall faster than Biden’s IQ points.

Any time CNN loses viewers, that is a good thing.
I haven't watched any CNN in at least 20 years, only even heard of this Tapper person via comments and articles here, usually about his stupid antics and extreme bias. Never even heard his voice, which I consider a plus.
