When the longtime host of Nightline and a pillar of the Left wing media calls out your network, you're probably in trouble.

Stetler's defense:

"It's ok if our ratings drop 40%"
"I disagree"

1.  I guess he doesn't understand the basic premise of why networks exist.
2.  Couldn't back it up with anything.

Typical.

[2ND COMING]

CNN became eminently unwatchable right around the time this effeminate boof took over schultz's old show "reliable sources". He's not the sole cause but a part of it, as they feature him on segments frequently.

Wolf Blitzer's show was boring and less hackey and thats why you tuned in.

Times have definitely changed.

Bookmarked to remind me to watch the entire interview. Fat soy boy was squirming in his seat. He’s a nobody and Koppel is a legend of broadcasting. He should be shining his shoes.

I used to watch Nightline every night when he hosted it, solidly through the 1990s and 2000s. Used to enjoy Charlie Rose on PBS and am frustrated #MeToo sunk him.

CNN needs Trump.  Just like the Joker needs the Batman.  Yin and yang.

[Dave D]

LOL he doesn't know what the ratings are.

They might be up 20%, 30%, 40% but its fine if they drop 40% ..... LOL  if his ratings dropped 15%  for an extended period he'd have a new time slot on a different network.

He's 33. He doesn't know shit about CNN. I've been watching them since the first episode of The Capital Gang back in 1988 until the last, dispiriting years of the Obama administration, before they turned full radical and became the destroy-Trump news network. I still watch MSNBC at times for some variety and to get a different opinion than Fox News, but I can't watch CNN. It's impossible. It's unbearable.

CNN has had the highest turnover in on-air talent, and the largest amount of cancelled programs that failed to meet expectations or sustain ratings, of any major network. If you're not Anderson Cooper or Wolf Blitzer, you may find your contract cancelled before your anchor chair even gets warm if you don't pull the numbers they need. After all, they're trailing behind MSNBC which is trailing far behind Fox News.

Brian has no idea how irrelevant and replaceable he is. And he's out of his league arguing back with a legend like Ted Koppel, who after all has been across virtually the entire planet on news assignments and hosted a show America watched when Steltzer hadn't even been conceived yet. But he is exemplary of the millennial arrogance that has alienated CNN's conservative viewers and inflated Fox News' Neilsen ratings.

CNN Ratings Down 41 Percent from Last Year

Last week, CNN dropped a full 41 percent in the daytime TV ratings and fell 36 percent in primetime compared to the same week last year.
AdWeek reports, “CNN ranked No. 6 across basic cable in total prime time viewers, and No. 5 in total day this past week. Despite the top 10 finishes, the network was -36 percent in prime time viewers, and -41 percent in total day viewers vs. the same week last year.”

Not only did CNN see a devastating drop from last year’s ratings, the network was once again bested by its competitors. Fox News came in first place with during the day, while MSNBC came in second.

In basic cable, CNN was in fifth behind ESPN and Nickelodeon. During prime time, CNN slid down to sixth place while ESPN came in first. Fox News, MSNBC, HGTV, and the USA network all defeated CNN.

The network has repeatedly seen embarrassing viewership losses compared to 2017. In August, the network lost 12 percent of its primetime viewers compared to 2017.

During one week in August, the network dropped 23 percent during the day and 24 percent in primetime compared to the same week last year.

The ratings slide isn’t the only recent embarrassment for CNN.

This week, it was announced that reporter Jim Sciutto would begin co-hosting a morning program for the network, despite the fact that Sciutto had recently made serious errors and was a key figure in CNN’s ongoing fake news scandal over their misreporting of a story about Michael Cohen’s knowledge of a Trump Tower meeting with Russians.

Jeffrey Toobin, an analyst for CNN, also humiliated the network further recently by falsely blaming Antifa violence on black Americans.

Gee, I wonder why, with such high caliber anchors and sterling 'news' reporting like this:

Holy cow, it's amazing what being fat and bald will do in regards to what you look like age wise.

very true - so crazy

Mark Dice does this soyboy’s f aggot voice during some of his videos. Frickin’ hilarious.

The putz is sitting there, across from Ted, sweating in his seat. He knows he was born a mentally-ill cucktard, but his out-of-control estrogen levels have rendered him helpless to counter its effects.

I was looking for the full video of this interview and ran into his complete with his commentary.  It was very funny and if I had the energy to sign up for another account and remember another password, I might very well become a youtube subscriber.

It was a really good panel discussion, except for Steltzer. You don't get good interviews like that anymore for the most part, but they happen occasionally.

Love watching Mark Dice's videos every morning.  He just shreds little Brian.
