Mr.Vic20 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I think CNN incorrectly believes that it can court viewership that it desperately needs while hiding behind "journalist integrity" by providing the slug lord a platform and then "holding him accountable", which of course, they will not.

They generally can’t crack a million primetime and 100k in the key demographic. They crack 100k all the time in the key demographic. Anderson Cooper even topped Fox/MSNBC in that demographic Monday. You're using the word "struggling," but even with fluctuating profits, it remains a profitable channel. Their morning shows are low rated, but their primetime shows do pretty well in the 25-54 demo. 9 hours ago, BloodyHell said: The Audience For Cable News Has Dropped Notably This Year WWW.FORBES.COM With a slow news cycle, several changes in program hosts, and cord cutting, the three cable news in first quarter when compared to last year.

MSNBC beat Fox in the 6a, 3p, 4p, 6p, and 10p Monday in total viewers. And even while not getting close to the same viewership, the 25-54 key demo is very competitive. Ex: 3pm is Fox 151k/MSNBC 161k/CNN 145k. Article even talks about all of cable news seeing declines. The last time Fox was the runaway leader was, like, the 2000s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be the tack they are taking. All of the morning programs on CNN this morning were talking about how he's still the same Trump telling the same lies so it seems that they ARE going to call him on his bullshit. The problem is, they did the same thing in 2016 and helped propel him to the White House with all of the free publicity they gave him because he was ratings gold for them.

Kamusha Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 It's amazing how little lessons we learned from the first time around.

GeneticBlueprint Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I was kind of apathetic towards CNN as I am the rest of cable news. I’d watch it in the background or whatever.
