Title: This is why CNN trails so far behind in the ratings
Post by: Kwon3 on October 04, 2018, 01:55:53 PM
The average American sees segments like this and literally dry heaves, getting hot in the face and looking for a waste basket to vomit their last meal because it's so vile, biased, radical and out of touch with the people.

CNN Ratings Down 41 Percent from Last Year

Quote
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.

There was a time CNN was a good news network, long before Fox came along. They had political discussion shows like The Capital Gang, spirited debate programming that featured equal camera time to guests and hosts on the left and right (Crossfire), and level-headed, tough anchors like Leon Harris, Lou Dobbs, Jack Cafferty and Aaron Brown (who covered 9/11 live for them) that made it a genuinely great network to watch. Then AOL-Time Warner acquired the company.

What happened next was a handful of extreme-left socialist millionaires put their hands on its creative department and executive positions and pulled the hand brake on that business model, rerouting it on a new track with the single-minded objective of destroying everything and anything that isn't liberal. The top talent left for other networks, alienated by the obligation of parroting everything the producers told them to do. It's headed down a very dark tunnel with no light in sight at the moment, as almost every show is opinion-based and no longer focused on reporting the facts, or inviting guests that have opposing views to the viewers. Their chyrons are occasionally absurd and set the sarcastic tone for what the talking heads will say on the shows, things like "Report: Trump hatred throughout UK during visit" etc.

Fox News, for all its flaws, absolutely does invite left wing intellectuals and personalities on ALL its shows, even if it's just for shock value when the hard-right hosts tangle with them on almost every point (Carson, Ingraham, Shapiro). Fox News IS more balanced than CNN, I don't give a fuck what anyone says. Watch CNN or MSNBC for one day and watch FNC for another. The difference is obvious, and it's why politicians avoid the former two like the plague.

Crossfire was great when Buchanon on the right went up against Michael Kinsley on the left.  Later on I think Tucker Carlson got his start on there as well.

Today Fox News just crushes the competition.  I love the Five as it is a hilarious show ripping the left and one thing you never see CNN or MSNBC do is have any fun.  They are so miserable even their forced plastic smiles cannot hide their contempt for anything decent.

Or when Wolf Blitzer after Katrina said, “they’re so poor, and so black”. Total brain fart. Has this female reporter actually said what she supposedly meant/said on this?

This thread was not about the degree of hinge-worthiness of the audience. It's about the extraordinary bias, bald partisanship, and cheap provocations engaged in by CNN's 8-figure on-air 'talent' and how they misinform or whip up the base feelings of their viewers with artificial outrage at non-events and one-sided guests on the show who agree with everything they say. I could post any number of panels Don Lemon or Wolf Blitzer have had on their programs and there's not one dissenting voice in the anti-Trump cacophany. It's basically 2-3 hours of self-righteous gladhanding by millionaires pretending to care about the people Trump doesn't (yet his economy is doing just that).

Fox News is more balanced than CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, or CBS. They invite guests with opposing views on all their programs, their anchors asks specific and sometimes inconvenient questions of the people they interview (for a recent example, see Martha MacCallum's interview with justice Kavanaugh on her show), and they don't decide who's right and who's wrong in their reporting and forcefeed it to their audience. They merely show the facts, underline the Left's hypocrisy in not reporting those facts, and let their viewers draw their own conclusions.

The American people are optimists by nature and disposition. They don't, generally, traffic in the business of negativity and defeatism; it's at odds with the country's history and the visionary nature of the founding fathers' foundation for the country embodied in its constitution and bill of rights. The Democrats are currently locked into a private war with this way of thinking, and by extension the people of this country. Their negativity and pessimism is common in countries with cynical political cultures like France, the UK, and the Russian Federation. There's no optimism or faith in leadership there because it's not part of their culture and they don't believe the future holds anything good or positive, and the best days are behind them. That is not what America is about, and the Left and its radicals in the streets fundamentally misunderstand the people they claim to represent. It's why they all got it wrong with their predictions for the 2016 election. It's why their 'experts' said Kavanaugh was all but finished a week ago, because women clearly wouldn't stand for him being appointed. It's why they predicted a blue wave in November, yet recent polls don't corroborate their enthusiasm. And it's why they think pandering to special interest groups is going to win them elections, yet they continue preaching and lecturing the majority on these slanted, far-left news networks without realizing we're increasingly tuning them out. They live in an echo chamber.

Well put. Thanks for sharing you're opinion regarding the network news media. I still maintain that the local news media is a better watch in many, if not most cases. At least they don't need to milk every last drop out of a story like network news does. -Boring, extremely boring and tiresome.

Yep, still watch my local NBC news affiliate at 11 and have since 1992. It's short, only 30 minutes, and features local high school and college sports programming I don't care about, but it's enjoyable to watch and a nostalgic carryover from an earlier time when TV wasn't a large puddle of shit covered in diarrhea sprinkles.

They don't need a competitor, they do just fine as is. In fact, if FOX wasn't started in 1996, it couldn't be started today in the hyper liberal and partisan media climate we live in. It's a legacy network. As for its viewership, if they wanted to wanted an alternative center-right news source, the Internet and satellite radio has a bevy of them.

Unless FOXNews has higher ratings than all the liberal leaning news networks combined, claiming FOX has the highest rating is, at best, misleading. Someone's math is suspect.

Network media caters to whatever viewers want. That there more liberal leaning news networks than conservative ones suggests conservative audiences are smaller than liberal ones. Either conservatives don't own televisions or they are the minority group.

Ratings aren't defined by the cumulative total viewers based on political orientation. They're based on the network's total viewership, and within that rubric, the ratings of their individual programming (usually their prime time shows). By those two metrics, Fox News is far ahead of his competitors by Nielsen rating.

Question regarding the "fake news" ?

Team Trump declares "fake news" when they don't like the coverage on CNN or some other media outlet.

Ok, fine, but then the dems cry "fake news" over some coverage on Fox-news or conservative blog.

If nobody accepts basic facts, what happens?

The difference between Fox and the left-wing outlets you mentioned (and some you didn't) is those outlets are opinion channels, meaning they only dedicate a small portion of their programming to actual news reporting. Fox's daytime and afternoon programming is ALL news with virtually no opinion. Their PRIMETIME newsmagazines (like Hannity) ARE opinion, yet they still bring left wing guests on their programs. The other channels don't. They only invite hand-picked, screen, and vetted talking heads that will support their views. The 92% statistic of anti-Trump coverage isn't made up. It's been certified over and over from reputable media critic sources.

On this we may actually agree (* in related news , HELL just opened an ice skating rink)

1. Yup, a lot of OPINION news analysis all over cable news. That's NOT hard news, but it often gets quoted as such from all sides.

2. Rarely do any of the major cable news stations LIE. They simple omit certain things and focus on those they deem news worthy.

I think cable news (24/7) channels and social media have done more to divide people then anything else.

Cable news is somehow addicting. Why is this when the repetitious nature of these broadcasts are enough to make one want to hit their flat-screen with a sledge hammer. I'm weaning myself off all cable news. It's bad for my mental health.  ;D

CNN = 4 vs one, including the host. See the video above.

Fox = 1 guest vs 1 guest, with the host moderating and occasionally cutting in to task pointed questions but nothing more.

There's no comparison. One is a gang beating and one is intelligent discourse between people of opposing views. You guys are thugs.

Perhaps you are right and perhaps not. You may not know me as well as you think you do. I'd like to think that no one can speak for me.

Clever. I'm still no thug or a paper gangster for that matter. You're giving me more credit than I deserve.  :)

Don Lemon finally understands how the entire country feels about his show. Uses the term "minstrel show" at around 1:27, a racial hatred term to describe Black actors who danced to please White audiences 100 years ago. Where's the Left on that? Crickets.

I'm relieved that (F-bomb) Kanye doesn't represent me. His White House performance was a minstrel show.

I found Trump to be subdued, respectful, and very tolerant of Mr West's intrusion into his office and personal space. Obama never allowed that type of camaraderie and closeness during his tenure. For doubters of Trump's behavior, I hope this puts it to rest. Outside of the bombast and showmanship at rallies, he's pretty much a normal, quiet man. For all the claims of racism hurled at him, he's remarkably comfortable with Mr. West and his family.

Trump was comparatively subdued yesterday. I'll give you that. What effect do you suppose this will have on the black vote?

They're not interested in him or how he acts. But when their greatest singer (from an awards standpoint) speaks, they listen. And he showered encomiums of praise on our President yesterday while raising important points that all Black people should be concerned about. That much, I believe, will get their attention.

Even gaining a couple % points among blacks could turn some close elections and this is why the left wing media is flipping out.  Any time a minority leaves the dem plantation they call them sell outs and Uncle Toms like they owe the left their vote and can't have a differing opinion.

The media can flip about as much as they want. Personally, I thought Kanye's White House performance was nuts and embarrassing, but then, I am white.
