1. What's the period? It's also possible they're down all over...

...due to the fact the election is now over and that level of interest has disappeared. Is it the same with CNN & MSNBC?

I've been taking somewhat of a break from CNN and MSNBC (at least, listening less)

Or as the band The Police would say, "Too Much Information."

I've been fooled too many times by internet headlines that I am generally skeptical. It's normal for rating to dive after an election. They may stay lower for the right since it's less fun to be on the defensive for 4 years, people may tire of it and tune out.

They are still out there but just watching a different network.

And they'll go down with him. Don't let their recent pushbacks fool you, they are the worst of the worst.

5. Any theories? Did they go somewhere else?

Tired of being lied to about their very lives? Did they go to another news network?

Or, God forbid, are they flocking to Newsmax and OAN?

Are they reading The New York Times?

I'll have to read it from someone more credible than a tweet from Major Patriot before I'll buy this. Newsers has a paywall now so It's hard to confirm.

Do they go full anti-Trump, or do they chuck any semblance of being credible and go full OANN.
