#FakeNews CNN is experiencing some difficulties. And by that I mean, it’s experiencing a 30% drop in viewership.
Before we get to the numbers, I should add that CNN is an outlier; meaning its stunning ratings collapse is unique in cable news.
With week two of May 2018 now in the books, we find that CNN’s ratings have collapsed even more than last week, close to -30 percent in total viewers and an astonishing -35 percent in demo viewers.
HOLY CRAPBALLS. That’s positively sucktastic.
Compared to this same week last year, Fox News increased its total viewers in primetime and total day by +6 and +3 percent, respectively. While MSNBC did see a ratings drop, it was able to keep that drop in the single digits: -9 percent in total day and in primetime.
CNN averaged 844K viewers during primetime hours last week. Compare that to the 1.191 million it had this time last year.
The thing about this is, it can’t be blamed on social media stifling their message. This isn’t a Facebook thing. This is a “CNN SUCKS” thing.
CNN’s average total day viewers disintegrated by -25 percent, 841K compared to 635K.
In other words, throughout the day last week, CNN could only attract an average of 635,000 total viewers.
Fox News, however, is thriving. Last week, Fox averaged 2.487 million primetime viewers, nearly three times that of CNN’s 844K, and 1.463 million total day viewers, more than twice CNN’s 635K.
While MSNBC is in a distant second place behind Fox, it is still leaving CNN in the dust with an average of 1.667 million primetime viewers and 913K total day viewers.
Incredibly, CNN’s second week of May this year was even worse than the first week, which was already catastrophic. During week one, CNN attracted a dismal 859K primetime viewers, but that was still better than week two, which dropped even further to 844K. In total day viewers, the anti-Trump channel dipped from a ruinous week one of just 649K viewers to an even more ruinous week two of 635K.
Sucks to suck. But by all means. Continue to talk about nothing but Stormy Daniels every single minute. People are really into it. CLEARLY.
