CNN’s having a bad couple of years. Trump era years, if that’s important. The network’s rating continues to tumble downward, and I have to be honest. I think Nick Sandmann’s lawyers need to amp up the pressure on this lawsuit. If they wait too long CNN may not have the money.

No, it’s not that bad, but with retirements, buyouts, staff cuts, and layoffs, the May numbers are not going to help matters.
CNN received a 9 percent blow to its total prime time viewership, 16 percent drop in total day viewers, and 31 percent fall in the total day demographic compared to what the network averaged in May 2018, according to TVNewser.
CNN also no longer features in the top 15 basic cable networks in total prime time viewers altogether.
Nielsen’s Live+ same day data for May shows CNN had 761,000 prime time viewers, compared to Fox News’s 2.395 million and MSNBC’s 1.66 million viewership, according to Forbes magazine.
CNN also suffered a 41 percent drop in the highly coveted advertising demographic of viewers, who are aged between 25 and 54, with just 198,000 viewers in demo compared to Fox’s 389,000 and MSNBC’s 255,000.
Sad. With the Democrat primary in full swing. And these numbers include all those airports and bus stations and wherever else the torture captive audiences with Collusion News Network Rubbish.
I can’t imagine June will be any better. That means they’ll be making up stories faster than ever to try and get eyeballs before their ad revenue completely collapses.
Here’s some free advice. Either switch to all opinion and compete with MSNBC or knock off the crap and find a way to become a pure news organization without all the bias.
Yeah, I’ll wait till you all stop laughing.
