Their ratings continue to Plummet to record lows. Sad in a country of 350 million you can barely get half a million people to watch your so called News.

15th is about as low as I've ever seen their ratings. I have no sympathy.

CNN had its lowest primetime weekly ratings overall and in the key age demographic last week, according to Nielsen Media Research. From April 8-12, the network only averaged an audience of 690,000 people and 180,000 in the key 25-54 age demographic

CNN finished 15th, behind networks like Discovery Channel, Food Network, TLC and A&E Network. Their ratings have continued to drop following the conclusion of the Mueller report. It appears like they might have a difficult time bouncing back after investing two years of heavy coverage on the investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with the Kremlin.

CNN should have been shout down as soon as the video was made public of the producer admitting that his product is 90% bull****. Remarkably, the truly stupid out there pretend that it didn't happen and continue to rail against Fox News.

Let's hope CNN goes out of the business on its own from the weight of the collusion hoax.

If Airports and Government offices were not on contract to run CNN 24/7 that number would drop significantly.

No, not really sad.

What's sad is the widespread idea that because something is widely liked, or widely participated in, it must mean it's great. By that standards, fast-food junk would be deemed the finest dining in the country.

CNN probably attracts better educated, more successful viewers, and that's not going to be a majority.

I remember CNN in the '80s....it was a decent news channel....they went so downhill that the name is tarnished forever.

The fact that anyone cares says much more about them then it does about any particular news or opinion network.

Hey, didn't the NY Times and WaPo fail?

Don't look now, but Alexa (accurate - run by Amazon who knows since they own the cloud).....rates CNN the highest web site for news.....

https://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/US

NY Times follows that closely...that's just the online NYT, of course they do well in print also.

Those are the only two (unless you count facebook or espn or twitter, etc.) in the top 50.

BIG HINT FOR TRUMPOS......people use the interweb these days. We cut the cord long ago and most anyone who matters has done the same.
