CNN slides to #13 in Cable Rankings

CNN has fallen to #13 in cable TV rankings, according to weekly numbers posted on Thursday by TV Newser.

The ratings slide comes as the network has come under heavy scrutiny for a variety of journalistic missteps, including the retraction of an article alleging that a Trump associate had illicit Russian business ties.

Fox News and MSNBC are listed as first and second, respectively, in the cable rankings, which measured average audience sizes for the period between June 26 and July 2. Fox News drew an audience of around 1.82 million while MSNBC drew an audience of 1.34 million. CNN had only 711,000 viewers on an average day during the measurement period.

Fox News has maintained the top spot over the past five TV Newser rankings analyzed by The Daily Caller. MSNBC has bounced between the second and third position while CNN has steadily fallen from sixth to thirteenth over the past month.

If there are 800 channels, hope they are 799 and dropping!

Fox and MSNBC are for watching according to your political beliefs. CNN has become completely lost in it's lies. With that said, if there is something live with live coverage in the news, CNN usually gets there and covers it first and many times best. it's what they should be. A news organization. Take out the phony politics on CNN and they would get more viewers.

I wonder how much the nightly network news has slipped for CBS, NBC, and ABC? I can't stand the watching them anymore between the constant Trump bashing, and prescription drug commercials!

All Trump - All the time.
According to CNN, not one thing in this entire world deserved any more than a couple of minutes of air time in the past year or more.
Try it: Turn to CNN right now and see if it takes longer than 30 seconds for them to say the word "Trump".
I stopped watching months ago - along with every late-night program. Same deal.
