CNN Fails to Place a Single Show in the Top 20, While MSNBC Ratings Fester

Nolte on LOLCNN:

Far-left CNN failed to place even one show in the top 20 during the first quarter of this year.

Yes, you read that correctly... Despite the impeachment of a president and the coronavirus pandemic, the cable channel America used to automatically turn to in times of crisis could not do any better than number 22.

Fox News placed eight shows in the top ten and 14 in the top 20. The openly left-wing MSNBC filled those other slots.

CNNLOL finally arrives way behind its cable news competitors, at number 22, with Jake Tapper’s basement-rated The Lead, which still only managed to attract 1.387 million viewers. And Tapper probably only did that well because some of President Trump’s popular daily briefings aired during his otherwise anemic timeslot.

Sean Hannity topped everyone during the quarter with an average of 4.22 million viewers, which more than triples CNN’s top show.

In fact, the only Fox program CNN was able to beat was Fox and Friends First, which broadcasts before dawn and still managed to come in 40th with 721,000 average viewers. The pre-dawn Fox and Friends First humiliated CNNLOL's disastrous morning show, New Day, which was only able to attract 580,000 average viewers.

...

CNNLOL was only able to average 1.43 million primetime viewers, with MSNBC coming in at 1.93 million.

Meanwhile, MSNBC's ratings are flat, despite the bonanza of impeachment and pandemic.

The first first three months of 2020 have been full of one breaking news story after another, ranging from the impeachment of President Trump to the arrival of the coronavirus outbreak. Yet the liberal MSNBC "news" channel failed to attract new viewers and matched the same ratings from a year ago.

The stagnation in numbers comes in stark contrast to the Fox News Channel, which gained 38 percent during the same period, and even the ratings-challenged CNN, which actually grew its numbers by a surprising 18 percent.

According to an article posted by Brian Flood, who covers the media for FNC, experts stated that this result "is a serious issue to the far-left network" and "should concern the MSNBC hierarchy" even though that channel has not made any changes in its programming for a long time.
