When you put crap on the air like the clinton news network does, you can expect ratings to be in the toilet!


I'm just surprised that msnbc had shows with ratings that high

I suppose next we will measure newspapers by their print circulation.

But, humor me...in a time of cable cutting when most young and middle-aged person watch about Zero commercial TV (meaning the avg age is 60's for cable news), why should I care about entertainment hosts and ratings on these channels? Was Howard Stern being the biggest ever (puts ALL these to shame) indicative that Butts are more important than Hannity?
" why should I care..." NOBODY said you have too. You CHOSE to read and get engaged in this discussion.


Not interested, DON'T REPLY. It IS that EASY!

" I think if they'd stayed somewhat middle of the road" you are entitled to your opinion but, CNN was called the Clinton News Network for a good reasons.

I agree with Mathguy. CNN leaned left but they were much more middle of the road than they are now.

If one looks at news organizations, it is actually number 2. Fox is number one, and MSN is number 3. Fox is at 25, CNN 27 and MSN at 30.

CNN just lost their ways over the years. Once a very credible news channel as well. I think when Fox started doing better than CNN, they gave up on conservative viewers and started focusing on the left. MSNBC completely caught them off guard and took most of their left viewers and that's what CNN is trying to get back now. I think CNN is on really shaky ground as many viewers just watch out of habit. They've been watching for years now. Similar to people that continually watch the Simpsons all these years even after the show went downhill a long time ago.

50. What does that have to do with anything?

Are you trying to say that they haven’t made a hard left turn? That they have always been completely one sided?

Maybe I should be asking you how old YOU are.

I read McCabe's book (from the library, because I did not want to contribute to his royalties). If his TV punditry is anything like his writing, I give him 6 months before he's cancelled.
