CNN Ratings Plummet After Another Year of Trump Bashing
September 15, 2018
For the last couple of years we have heard President Donald Trump point to CNN as a fake news media outlet. Maybe he’s persuaded a lot of viewers to move away from the network, or maybe Americans are just sick and tired of its liberal spin and Trump bashing, but whatever the reason, it is suffering a serious ratings drop.
The numbers don’t lie.
CNN’s ratings last week plummeted 41 percent in daytime and 36 percent in prime time compared with the same week last year, according to Adweek.
“CNN ranked No. 6 across basic cable in total prime time viewers, and No. 5 in total day this past week,” the trade publication said Wednesday. “Despite the top 10 finishes, the network was -36 percent in prime time viewers, and -41 percent in total day viewers vs. the same week last year.
“During the same same week in 2017, cable news provided wall-to-wall coverage of Hurricane Irma. Significant breaking news stories tend to give CNN a bigger ratings boost than what Fox News or MSNBC traditionally get.”
Breitbart noted Friday that this isn’t anything new for the network.
“The network has repeatedly seen embarrassing viewership losses compared to 2017,” it said. “In August, the network lost 12 percent of its primetime viewers compared to 2017.
“During one week in August, the network dropped 23 percent during the day and 24 percent in prime time compared to the same week last year.”
While CNN saw its ratings plummet, it issued a news release boasting of its “second-best August ever in total viewers.”
Adweek had glowing things to say about CNN in August even though it lagged behind other cable news networks.
“Fox News and MSNBC may be getting headlines for being the two-most-watched networks on basic cable, but CNN held its own in August 2018,” it said.
