MEDIA
Scandal-ridden CNN sees ratings dive by 90% after 2021 coverage
By Alexandra Steigrad
January 12, 2022 | 6:37pm

CNNs ratings took a nosedive by a massive 90 percent both overall and in the all-important demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year.

The Jeff Zucker-led cable news network averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of Jan. 3 a major drop from the nearly 2.7 million viewers for the same week in 2021, according to Nielsen ratings.
The year-ago ratings were jolted by the left-leaning networks coverage of the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, which resulted in CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980.

But on the one-year anniversary of the attacks, viewers flipped over to CNNs right-wing rival, Fox News, which topped the ratings for coverage of the event.

I guess americans are tired of fake news about the pandemic and are moving on to more reliable sources of information such as the tucker Carlsson show and the Joe Rogan podcast.

I still don't understand the obsession many people - especially on the right - have with TV ratings. Trump used to always harp on TV ratings. The 1970s are long gone and there are many other ways to consume the news.

Because most people who watch CNN are smart enough to get their news online or in other places. they don't need to plop down in front of the TV all day and watch a bunch of idiots like Fox viewers do.

All news cable channels lost viewership after Trump left, but only CNN seems to be shrinking out of existence.

Or more likely they just skim the headlines and read the sound bites in between Tiktok vids and memes and then convince themselves they are educated.

Why is this even a story? The article even mentions that the comparison being made was between a news week with a major breaking story and one without any.

"Shocking news: More people watch the news when something is going on."? Okay...?

Republicans aren't really known for being on the forefront of new things. In fact, resistance to anything new and scary is one of the few things they actually believe in and consistently adhere to.

Yeah get your news from Facebook and Tiktok and carefully curated list of influencers that all have the same opinions. Congrats.

CNN is dangerous leftist propaganda according to the right.

Meanwhile the left mostly thinks they're bootlicking sock puppets.

Anecdotally I can speak for myself that I used to have the news on much more. But politics is (thankfully) much, much more boring now under the Biden administration. I can usually look once a day online to see what happened. During the Trump administration there was some dumb crazy shit Trump would tweet once a week at least if not once a day.

Only elderly people watch TV news stations nowadays, so of course the conservative new channels will perform better than the moderate ones. It's like how talk radio is all conservative. The more young people stop paying for cable the more cable ratings will skew right.
