CNN biting the big green weiner

[Locutus]

It’s no April Fool’s joke — last month CNN delivered its lowest-rated month in total day in over a decade, since August 2001, the month before the September 11 attacks. The once-dominant cable news network posted decade-lows among both total viewers (357,000) and Adults 25-54 (108,000). Versus April last year, CNN was down 21% in total viewers and 29% in 25-54. In comparison, leader Fox News was up 2% in total viewers (1.1 million) and 1% in 25-54 (273,000) and No.2 MSNBC was flat in total viewers (425,000) and down 5% in 25-54 (139,000).

Things did not look brighter for CNN in the evening where its shows again posted across-the-board declines: John King USA at 6 PM was down 41% in the 25-54 demo, Erin Burnett Outfront at 7 PM was down 34%, Piers Morgan was down 14% at 9PM, and Anderson Cooper 360 was down 8% at 8 PM and 28% at 10PM. In primetime, CNN had its lowest rated month in nearly two years, since August 2010 in both total viewers (508,000, down 16% from last year) and adults 25-54 (149,000, down 22%). Meanwhile FNC (1.9 million, 395,000 in 25-54) was flat in total viewers from last April and down 9% in 25-54, MSNBC (754,000; 236,000) was down 5% and 9%, respectively.

Stupid people are switching to FOX News. Only people left watching CNN are smart people.

 

[gopher]

That's what CNN gets for its anti-Hispanic hysteria under Lou Dobbs and its promotion of the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

[Praxius]

I guess their viewers got bored of the fancy multi-million dollar touch screens and flashy eye-candy effects.

Lowest ratings since before September 11th, 2001??

Guess there'll be another terrorist attack / war coming in the next month.

That's right.... CNN was behind it the whole time.

Even Liberals don't want to watch CNN or MSNBC. They are so biased, that even the ultra left is deserting them.

Who can blame libs for doing that when CNN has been promoting anti-Hispanic hysteria and two overseas wars?? On top of all that, CNN, more than any other channel, stuck with the runaway bride and other missing white woman syndrome bullshlt. At least half of their broadcasts dealt with all that worthless garbage.

As for MSNBC, contrary to your delusional idea, it's ratings are up:

April 2012 Ratings: A Mixed Bag For MSNBC - TVNewser

"MSNBC Weekday Primetime Beats CNN By 68% in Total Viewers and 54% in the Demo for April


MSNBC Ranks #1 Among Adults 18-34 in Primetime for the Month''






And those ratings are up because they report the truth contrary to the horseshlt reported by CNN and right wing media bias by others.
