Ratings in the toilet? CNN execs love what is happening right now. The more people negatively or positively talk about CNN, it just means the more leverage they have with companies for more ad revenue.

CNN, the network so thoroughly exposed by WikiLeaks as a propaganda mouthpiece of the establishment, have recorded their lowest ratings since records began. For the week ending December 18, CNN ranked a lowly number 18 for total viewers per day for ad supported cable networks.

CNN was beat out by channels such as The Cartoon Network and Home And Garden TV Network. Viewers obviously decided The Cartoon Network is closer to reality than what CNN pumps out. Perhaps most embarrassingly, The Food Network had more daily viewers than CNN.

It just discredits their movement even more when they group up with conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones. It shows you how gullible and anti-intellectual Trump supporters are... truth is whatever narrative helps Trump.


Maybe we should judge headlines scientifically instead of according to labels?

CNN averaged 1.25 million viewers, including 423,000 in the 25-54 demo, placing it eighth among cable channels, its best ranking since 1995.


It looks like his source is "Yournewswire," which is taking the fact that the grown ups have stopped watching CNN all the time because the election is over as being some sort of massive blow to CNN as a whole.

Of course, the fit pitchers are still glued to Fox so they can get the narrative pumped straight into their veins, which is even more proof that something something gazpacho.

It'd be great if you ever wanted to start actually doing any of the 'making a real argument' and 'approaching things scientifically' shit that you keep pretending you're capable of doing instead of, y'know, what you actually do.

Their ratings are common knowledge that can be dug up on any news site almost.

CNN also saw a boon in ratings. 2016 proved to be the channel's most-watched year among total viewers.

In primetime, CNN placed eighth with an average of 1.3 million viewers, its highest ranking since 1995.

And while MSNBC finished behind both CNN and Fox, it experienced significant growth, outpacing its rival networks in total-day gains. 2016 was also its most-watched year.

No, using the heuristic of preemptively dismissing information when the source has proven repeatedly to be unreliable is extremely wise.

Wow wtf? ESPN is 5x more popular than any other cable network, and Hallmark is #3? I would not have guessed that.

e/ oh ESPN is because of college football ofc.

That Fox News ranking is so disheartening. How can so many people be so thoroughly brainwashed?

Show on the decline: Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” Wednesday, 8 p.m. The top episode of the week averaged 2.86 million total viewers, off 31 percent from the previous week’s most-watched episode.

"Is this the end of Fox News? A thinkpiece no one will read because there isn't a built-in group of gullible dipshits willing to believe anything negative about the right no matter how stupid."
