CNN is in serious trouble. A few weeks ago, it was revealed that the far left network was being beaten in ratings by the Hallmark Channel. Now, they are being beaten in the ratings by the Food Network.
More people want to watch pies and cakes being baked than hear Anderson Cooper or Jake Tapper analyze the day’s news.
How much lower can they go before people start getting cut left and right?

CNN loses to Food Network as network’s primetime viewership languishes
Perhaps Anderson Cooper can whip up a casserole on camera to help CNN’s struggling primetime lineup that had a smaller audience than the Food Network last week.
CNN finished No. 17 among cable stations during primetime last week amid a news cycle that included the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the ensuing manhunt for his killer, a slew of news related to President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, the fallout from President Biden announcing he would pardon his son, Hunter, and a rebel alliance’s challenging Bashar al-Assad in Syria.
CNN’s primetime lineup of “Anderson Cooper 360,” “The Source with Kaitlan Collins” and “CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip” averaged only 367,000 total viewers from 8-11 p.m. during the week of December 2. By comparison, Fox News Channel averaged 2.5 million total primetime viewers during the same period.
Despite the busy news cycle, CNN’s bleak audience was smaller than TNT, Food Network, Freeform, Discovery, INSP, Hallmark Mystery, TLC, TBS, History, HGTV, USA, MSNBC, Paramount, Hallmark Channel, ESPN and Fox News.
CNN and MSNBC have both lost about half of their viewers since the election, which is amazing.

CNN And MSNBC Have Lost Half Of Their Viewers Since Trump Won
CNN and MSNBC hoped their post-election ratings slumps would be short-lived. As the saying goes, no one wants to hear about the home team losing.
However, it has been five weeks since Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris by sweeping all seven swing states and ratings for the two cable news networks have yet to rebound.
In fact, they are worsening.
Since November 6, the day after the presidential election, primetime viewership for MSNBC has declined 55 percent. MSNBC used to average well over a million viewers during the primetime hours of 8 to 11 pm ET. Since the election, the network has averaged just 603,00 viewers in those time slots.
MSNBC’s flagship program, “The Rachel Maddow Show,” has lost 56 percent of its audience since Trump’s victory, down to an average of 1.4 million. During the Russia Hoax, Maddow averaged close to 3 million viewers per evening.
No one will shed a tear if CNN and MSNBC eventually go out of business. They have been horrible for the country and have done nothing but poison the minds of people on the left.
