Report: CNN Is Now Losing The Primetime Ratings War To Nick At Nite
CNN’s primetime viewership for the week of June 6-July 2 reportedly saw the network clocking in behind the likes of HGTV, Nick-At-Nite and even ESPN.
As The Federalist puts it, “last week, more Americans tuned in to watch re-runs of ‘Yogi Bear,’ ‘Full House,’ and ‘Friends’ on Nick At Nite than to watch Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon’s shows on CNN.”
According to Breitbart, CNN currently sits in 13th place for 8pm–11pm ratings while Fox and MSNBC continue to hold first and second place respectively.
The best part? These numbers are from before CNN came under fire for threatening to dox a Reddit user who created a meme they didn’t like.
Of course, CNN still had quite a few controversies working against it during the week of June 26-July 2.
The outlet was already in damage control mode after being forced on June 24 to retract a false article citing anonymous sources as stating that a senior Trump ally was under investigation for ties to a Russian investment bank.
Three staff members directly involved in the matter subsequently resigned from the network amid intense mockery.
As big as that controversy was, however, perhaps none can compare to the magnitude of sheer savagery that has been unleashed on CNN following the network’s decision that it would be a good idea to threaten a Reddit meme maker with doxxing.
As reported previously, #CNNBlackmail was trending for much of the next day, with memes like the following making their way around the web in startling quantities.
CNN has made a number of additional gaffes as the backlash for that one rages on, too.
Here’s a list:
CNN’s Acosta Makes Himself Look Like A Complete Idiot By Falsely Accusing Trump Of Fake News
CNN Publishes Fake Lincoln, Franklin Quotes While Accusing Trump Of Being Dishonest
CNN Lies About The Number Of States Refusing To Information To Voter Fraud Commission
CNN Analyst Falsely Claims Trump Never Made An Article 5 Commitment To NATO
One can only imagine what the next primetime ratings report will look like for CNN.
