CNN's Ratings Fall to Lowest Level in 9 Years

Sad!

Megyn Kelly @megynkelly

These are 5-alarm fire #s - omg: "CNN just notched its lowest ratings in 9 years across all its day parts...averaging just 444,000 viewers in PRIMETIME, 93,000 in the all-important age 25-54 news demo & [in day] 417,000 in viewers and 80,000 in the demo."

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is so well-deserved and good for the country.

CNN turned itself into a fanatical political PAC during the Trump era, got a few quick sugar highs, hired an army of US Security State operatives, and ratified one lie after the next with no retractions or accountability.


All news outlets and journalists err. I have. All humans do.

But the difference between journalists and completely unethical toxic liars is the latter never admit their frauds.

The reason they don't is worse: they know their audience wants them to lie to advance liberalism.


On a personal level, I don't like seeing people fail. I have friends who work at CNN I like and respect.

But when a "news outlet" constantly gets caught lying and refuses even to acknowledge it, they deserve to collapse and disappear. Good riddance.

The worst part is these toxic, willful liars constantly posture as Owners of Truth. They never stop hectoring everyone about how they are Bulwarks against Disinformation.

The most aggressive, casual and harmful disseminators of Disinformation are the largest media corporations.
