CNN Audience Plunges 25% As Fox News Dominates Prime Time

In a new TV ratings report published Wednesday by Nielsen Media Research, Fox News Channel continues to reign supreme in the cable news wars, while CNN’s primetime audience has collapsed by a shocking 25%.

” Fox News extended its run of consecutive months at number one to a staggering 197, while building hitting another impressive milestone: Fox News has now beaten every other network in basic cable for 23 months straight, based on total day ratings, with an average total day audience in May of 1.4 million viewers,” said Forbes.

“In prime time, Fox News destroyed its competition, with an average total audience of 2.381 million viewers, compared to MSNBC’s 1.384 million and CNN’s 835,000. Among viewers 25-54, the group most coveted by advertisers, Fox News shook off a challenge in recent months from MSNBC to claim a clear victory: 461,000 viewers, well ahead of MSNBC (329,000) and CNN (265,000).”

CNN = Fake news

Ha. Their ratings are highest because only old people and sensationalized younger (probably unemployed) people have time to spend time watching the news on tv. Sensible young people with full time jobs read the news on their phones or computer on the go.

News? What news?
Except for a few moments reporting a plane crash or a school shooting or a race riot, the monotony of "All Trump - All The Time" hasn't been broken for a few years now on ALL the so-called news stations.
There's more actual news on this blog in one day than there is during an entire week on the networks.
CNN and MSNBC won't stop until they convince everybody that this is the worst country with the worst leader in the world.
FOX won't relent on constantly telling us how bad the above-named networks are.
My go-to for world news now is the BBC.
Try it one time. You'll be amazed at what is going on around this planet that is not even ever mentioned here in the US.
