A new report has come to light showing that fake news CNN is in huge trouble. The left-wing propaganda network masquerading as a prominent news channel has lost nearly one out of every four of its total viewers since last month.
Compared to April, CNN’s total daytime viewership fell by 22% in May, and among the key viewing demographic, people between the ages of 25 and 54, the channel’s viewership fell by 28%.
Even worse — or better, depending on how you view CNN — the channel lost so many viewers for their prime time shows that it no longer qualifies as one of the top five cable networks for prime time.
According to reporting by The Daily Wire:
“All three major cable news networks saw their audiences shrink over the last month, perhaps in part because casual viewers who tuned in to watch coverage of the Derek Chauvin trial in April tuned out in May.
Fox News again dominated cable news, and cable in general, coming in as the number one network in basic cable.
Fox News Channel won an average of 1.19 million viewers over the full day and 2.17 million in prime time. Its 3% dip in both categories represents the smallest decline of the cable news networks, according to Nielsen ratings data.”
Four out of the five top-rated shows in cable news come from Fox News. Tucker Carlson Tonight comes in at number one, followed by Hannity at number two, The Five at number three, and The Ingraham Angle at number five. The conspiracy theorist Rachel Maddow of MSNBC took spot number four.
CNN’s loss is so bad that the channel failed to crack one million viewers in prime time or total viewership during the month of May.
The fake news channel did get one piece of good news, though: It was ranked number two among the key 25-54 demographic, beating MSNBC with younger viewers for the 18th month in a row.
“CNN continues to have the youngest audience in cable news in Total Day and prime time and reached the largest cumulative TV audience among both total viewers and adults 25-54 in May,” the network said in a press release, trying to focus on the only positive news out of the new report.
The Daily Wire also notes: “While CNN is still the fourth most-watched cable network overall — behind Fox News, MSNBC, and HGTV — its unique blend of commentary-posing-as-unbiased-journalism caused the network to crash to earth. Only the most Woke segment of society, the young, appear to be getting their news from the Atlanta-based network.”
There are several reasons why the network is hemorrhaging viewers, but CNN doesn’t want to admit it. Instead, the network sent out a press release about the ratings, blaming them on “a news cycle that has cooled down significantly from a year ago.”
Clearly, that is not the case. The only news story that has “cooled down” are the riots, which were significantly more widespread and worse last year. But, CNN never actually covered the riots, just little snippets about “mostly peaceful” protests. Other than that, they could be covering the disastrous Biden-Harris administration in the same way they portrayed the Trump administration as a disaster, but they aren’t.
The Daily Wire asks the right question: “Is there less news, or is CNN simply dedicated to ignoring every story that would make Joe Biden and Kamala Harris seem as ineffectual, fail, and out-of-touch as they are?”
