CNN Drops 26% In Prime Time

wow, so winning = a ~1% share or less of viewership these days? Is that what Fox is bragging about? lol. Try actual Network TV, chump.

reporting ratings for Cable programs is always a big laugh, news or otherwise.

I'm saying that you want to just keep playing a game of dismissing the #1 news channel. I give 0 shits of the news or the channel, but just judging by its viewership I can't help but notice how stupid the liberal party is. Mind you, I don't do anything other than watch LIBERAL bias news such as Bill Maher and John Oliver.

Feel free to dismiss millions though by stereotyping them all. I'm sure that will pay off in the next election...

God forbid you have liberals show up on the #1 channel.

They are not the #1 News channel. They are the #1 Cable News program (fine, call it a "cable channel," compared to all 3 "cable news channels" if you want, but it's still a hilariously stupid brag). Far less people watch Fox News compared to actual network news viewership.

Why don't you people ever seem to understand this?
 
I don't come to this forum usually because I hate all of you people. But as someone who has recently lived in Fox news country, these people aren't bad people unlike what you guys think. Yeah they aren't great, but now that I'm back in California these people aren't great either. Their liberal BS only goes as far is it affects someone else. Don't ask anyone here to sacrifice anything that matters to them for the greater good.

That being said, most liberals don't watch cable anymore, while conservatives still eat that shit up.

You realize more people watch youtube for their news on prime time than all of cable news right? You're like praising the least failing of a dying industry.

While you are talking only about only televised media drifter106...

alcoholbob is correct that more and more younger people are watching youtube for their news/political content.

I myself watch live streams from France 24 English and DW english (based in Germany) for current events since they offer a different PoV than U.S. cable.

In fact a popular to the left youtube channel has more at least a million more subscribers than even the Fox News Youtube channel.

Typical...spin the stats. Very simple, somebody is 3rd, somebody is 2nd and somebody is 1st. Not surprised you would spin it that way. A well known characteristic of the party of Evil.

Can you lay out some of the examples to demonstrate the evilness of the party of evil?
 
Fox knows how to entertain us and keep us laughing all night. You should only flip to CNN if there is actual news otherwise it's just a bore.
 
Avengers: Endgame made $2B+, highest grossing film ever made.

Obviously it means it's the greatest work of filmmaking in the history of mankind, and will win every Oscar in every category.
In fact, just hand them out now. The people have spoken.

Appears that the recent sampling of cable news has CNN less than a million viewers. MSNBC came in with a somewhat respectful 1.66 million. Fox for the 208th consecutive month leads with an incredible 2.395 million viewers in prime time.


Prime Time

CNN - 767,000
MSNBC - 1.660 million
FOX - 2.395 million

Any concrete theories as to why CNN and MSNBC fair so poorly to FOX in total viewership? Maybe those that watch cable news are catching on to the fact that the 2 networks are not worthy of reporting the political news as "news". Maybe its the fact that they have had a belly full of their inaccurate reporting of the news as they WANT it to be.

Both CNN and MSNBC are flagships for the party of EVIL.... their hatred for Trump is never going to end. Even after his next term is over there will still be a stigma attached in their handling of political news. Basically, its not news they are spewing but rather opinions.

On the other hand, when you have commentators like these 2 guys it makes you wonder if a massive enema is in order for both networks respectfully. Granted these clips are 2 years old but they are an indicator as to how the 2 networks function and the commentators are still alive and being themselves.


MSNBC and CNN at their best....

Really? It's like you never saw Bill O'Reilly's meltdown.

Just gonna point out a few flaws in your argument here:
- you believe that a viewership of 0.7% of Americans represents the opinions of the majority of Americans,
- you're apparently unaware that overall cable news viewership, including Fox news, has been dropping at a similar rate,
- you mistake disagreement and criticism for hate and evil,
- you appear to believe that any criticism of the President should be suppressed.

I'd say you're an emotional nutjob gone batshit.

You grouped CNN and MSNBC together in your OP and then you get mad when someone points out that when you group them together they have more viewers.

It’s not our fault you’re too dumb to do basic math.

And if you really do the math, you find that only 1.5% of Americans watch cable news. But of course some people here would have us believe that 1.5% is gonna determine the next election.

Sometimes you've gotta be careful of that other POV thing. I've got a friend over in Australia. The news he gets about US politics has him convinced that some hookers peed all over Trump, when he was in Russia. He also thinks Trump molests little girls and that the Steele dossier is 100% corroborated. Haha! Poor sap!!

did you know that the pee tape is about Trump hiring some hookers to piss on a bed that Obama once slept on? That's the point--and obviously sounds far more likely than not. I mean, you've heard the guy open his mouth before, right?

Also sounds like your friend is shit-tons wiser than you are.
 
As a child for reasons I don't really understand I was offended by evil in the world and all the suffering wars and misery it brings to innocent people. So I set out to prove once and for all that to know the truth would make people good. What I discovered instead was the behind every belief that I examined in the hope of finding proof was an emotional need to believe just like my own with the only strength behind it just that same ego need. Proof that the good exists didn't exist anywhere. Quite depressing really, that is, as long as there exists that need to believe.

But if one is hell bent on knowing the truth whatever it may be and the truth happens to be the truth that differentiates good and evil does not exist, then the result is that one knows at a deep level that one actually knows nothing except for this need to believe and in that state of mind something magical can happen, the realization that the need to believe really isn't a need but an unconscious assumption. And when you realize that everything changes. When you lose everything you can lose in the way of belief, what is left is the real which cannot be taken. And what is that you may ask?

Well, the important thing for this thread and the reason I mention any of this at all, is in relation to cable or any other source of input, even this thread itself. The effect of watching, listening, or reading is complete and total indifference. The hopes, the desires the feelings and passions of others, their needs for me to believe, their infinite sacred cows are but cabbages growing on the ground, food for sheep who feed wolves.

The raindrop that falls in the mountain wends its way to the sea.

It isn't the objectivity of the source of the news one watches that will make you sane, but the utter indifference to the influence it intends to bring. Only grace can bring about the death of the ego. Seek and you will find because to seek is to put yourself in the road where Grace can run you down. The ego will not die by it's own hand.

Where'd he get all that misinformation from?
The 13 women accusing Trump of molesting them were all adults. He did creep into the Miss Teen USA dressing room while the girls were changing, but that's not molestation.

Plus, the hookers peed in the bed, not on Trump, everyone knows this.
He's a notorious germaphobe. I mean, not a severe enough of one that raw dogging a well used porn star was out of the question, but splashing in Russian hooker pee is over the line.

Goddamn all this fake news!

Either your friend is really dumb and doesn't actually follow any serious news media or you are a liar.

No matter how many times some sock puppet account comes here to gloat about how stupid they are by watching cable news and that THEIR brand of cable news is that best we all laugh and have a good time at their expense.

It's like gloating that you ride shotgun on the short yellow bus... But it's the best seat ma.....
