Ratings: CNN Hits 15 Year Low

Unfortunately for CNN, “Piers Morgan Tonight” was the apparent victim of the busy night, drawing only 39,000 viewers 25-54 at 9 PM. To say those ratings are anomalous would be something of an understatement. That is the lowest 9 PM weekday demo rating for CNN since at least 1997. While the ratings were an outlier, it was a fairly normal edition of “PMT,” with Morgan hosting. Guests included Jane Lynch and “The man with the golden voice” Ted Williams.

“PMT” drew 284,000 total viewers, which was down from a typical weekday, but not a record-breaking low.

“PMT”s lead-in and lead-out, “AC360,” drew around 90,000 demo viewers at both 8 and 10 PM, also down from a typical weekday this year.

Last week on Twitter, Piers Morgan taunted me with an invitation to come on his show and debate. We responded in the most serious way we could; we reached out directly to his producer and said, "anytime."

Haven't heard back.

Goodbye, CNN, but now that FOX has sold out to become MSM, where do we go from here?

Gary.....the blogs are the only place left that are out of the reach of politicians and the influence they have on the MSM. But that's for now. As soon as they are able, they will pay politicians to create laws that censor internet speech as well. We will once again be silenced.

Pier Morgan's connection to the crook Murdoch will be his downfall.
