Despite the scripted anti-gun town hall, despite the mass shooting that usually boosts CNN’s ratings, and despite all the Mueller bullshit of charging Russians, CNN’s ratings tanked nearly 20% of last February. In prime time, CNN’s ratings tanked 16%. I guess fake news isn’t all that appealing to viewers anymore. If people want to hear anti-Trump crap 24/7 they can turn on MSNBC for that. They don’t need CNN.

CNN loves to host entire hours devoted to a “WHITE HOUSE IN CRISIS” and touting their latest poll on Trump’s unpopularity. On Thursday, they pushed out Anthony Scaramucci insisting “MORALE IS AT AN ALL-TIME LOW.” But maybe CNN should wonder if the screen ought to read “CNN IN CRISIS?” Where is their morale when they look at the ratings? Mark Joyella at Forbes reports on the latest monthly ratings:
By contrast, Fox News host Sean Hannity topped the ratings list again (for the fifth month in a row) with an average audience of 3.3 million viewers. Tucker Carlson came in second with 3.144 million, and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow came in third. “In the advertiser-coveted demographic of viewers 25-54, Hannity led (711,000) followed by Carlson (650,000) and Maddow (641,000).” Fox News had four of the top five cable-news shows with The Ingraham Angle in fourth and Special Report with Bret Baier in fifth.
Overall, Fox News had fifteen of the top 20 cable-news shows. The other five were on MSNBC. CNN didn’t show up until Anderson Cooper 360 at number 24.
In the morning wars, Fox & Friends came in at #15 with 1.376 million viewers, Morning Joe was #25 averaging 983,000 viewers, and CNN’s New Day — keep looking down the list, and down — came in at #42 with 553,000.
