Struggling CNN dropped into fourth place behind Newsmax for prime time viewership ratings last Friday night, the slump following a rare climb to the top driven by Donald Trump’s town hall appearance.
Forbes reports CNN could only garner an average total audience of 335,000 viewers, trailing behind Newsmax’s 357,000 viewers during the evening.Fox News finished first in prime with 1.44 million viewers, and MSNBC was second overall with 1.084 million viewers. Forbes gave deeper analysis, detailing:

Why does any business deliberately tank its sales or ratings and jeopardize both profits and stock prices? Disney, Miller beer, Budweiser, NY Times are all prime examples. Yes, I am aware that enormous moneys are at risk by not kneeling at the ESG/DEI altars of the Blackrock's of the world but ultimately even those players at the end of the day are still investors. What has Satan promised these people?

#1 I thought the same thing as I visited my eye doctor's new office and saw the closed Bed Bath & Beyond building. They long ago did just that and now are nothing.

Chris Licht cannot be serious about turning CNN around. Firing Don Lemon isn’t going to do it. He will just be replaced by another liberal, hopefully one who is also Black and gay. This network was poisoned during the Clinton Administration and it’s never recovered. They found out how to drive ratings with the Trump interview and the meltdown was comical. They’re hopeless.

Looks like fair and unbiased reporting of events are way beyond their abilities.

Instead of viewership numbers, why do they not report ad income?

And News Max is being suppressed on must cable outlets. Time for the truth to get out.

If they really want to turn CNN around, they need to fire most or all of their talking heads, and a good percentage of their producers.

CNN was poisonous gas from day one of their existence. I remember watching them in the early 80s and knew immediately they were supremely biased. From incidental viewings thereafter, they then took the fast track to hell, likely being the first of the leftist "news" channels to be openly biased, then outright acolytes of the demonrat party.

Newsmax beats CNN with less access AND when CNN has the Trump town hall bringing in 5x audience. Wow.

And if CNN wasn't on in airports and train stations it would have no ratings at all.

Kaitlan Collins was recently awarded a CNN prime time slot. I have news for Kaitlan, despite what she believes, she is neither cute nor likable.

No one is watching CNN. How are they not bankrupt? Who is funding the Communist News Network? George Soros?
