Whoa: Newsmax Defeated CNN On Friday, To Become the Third-Rated Cable TV Channel

This is huge!

Sure, it's just a one-night win, but a long time ago, Fox News posted a one-night win over CNN, too.

Before consistently trouncing it night-after-night.

Now, I think it's pretty obvious what's going on: Leftwing Karens are temporarily boycotting CNN because their delicate feelings were hurt when CNN "platformed" Donald Trump. (Corrected.)

But CNN's ratings weren't just low -- Newsmax's are very high.

Fox has lost a ton of viewers and they have migrated to Newsmax. And I'm pretty certain they won't be migrating back to Fox this time, as they did after the wrong call for Arizona voting in 2020. This time people understand Goldfinger's quote:

The first time is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action.

But Fox's loss is Newsmax's gain -- and CNN's humiliation.

Newsmax defeated CNN in Friday's prime-time ratings to become the nation's third-highest-rated cable news channel. The news marks the latest embarrassment for CNN, an already-declining, left-wing propaganda network responsible for peddling numerous lies and regime-approved narratives in recent years.

According to figures from Nielsen Media Research, Newsmax's "Eric Bolling The Balance" recorded 467,000 viewers in the 8 p.m. ET hour. Meanwhile, only 447,000 watched CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360." In the 9 p.m. ET hour, radio host Chris Plante's new program, "The Right Squad," garnered 32,000 more viewers than CNN's "Whole Story" (325,000 to 293,000).

Lastly, in the 10 p.m. ET slot, "Greg Kelly Reports" scored 278,000 viewers while "Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?" only managed to notch 263,000.

The first and second slots for Friday's prime-time ratings were taken by Fox News and MSNBC, respectively.

"Newsmax has witnessed a consistent, positive trend for weeks and we are looking forward to enormous interest in the network as we draw closer to the GOP primaries and '24 election," Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said in a statement.
