CNN just won't stop

It's been a week.

All the lead stories on the news feed are about why Joe should quit.

It's not up to you, CNN management.

Yammer all you want, Joe is going to crush Donald Trump.

No more tax cuts for you, you yellow journalism grifters.

"What are 3 features of yellow journalism?
This type of reporting was characterized by exaggerated headlines, unverified claims, partisan agendas, and a focus on topics like crime, scandal, sports, and violence."

And probably other tricks up their sleeves.

We cannot get sidetracked by it.

Stay the course.

5. CNN you want to know why your revenue is at risk?

For the same reason we all stopped paying for newspapers.
Lack of integrity
Lack of real news
Lack of responsible analysis
Irrelevancy

7. A very good point above: why CNN's revenue is at risk.

This certainly could not happen to a more deserving network. I like that: lack of integrity; lack of real news; lack of responsible analysis and irrelevancy.

Also, this is why CNN's ratings have lagged behind MSNBC's considerably for a good period of time now.

I will not tune them in or click anything that comes out of their pie-hole.

They've exposed themselves as a bunch of hacks, more interested in revenue than facts or truth.

8. CNN Hits Lowest Primetime Ratings Since 1991 SAGGING

CNN is pushing this crap for a reason



https://www.thedailybeast.com/cnn-hits-lowest-primetime-weekly-ratings-since-the-1990s

CNN’s primetime programming just had its worst week of ratings since the 1990s, according to Nielsen data reviewed by the New York Post. For the week of May 13-19, the cable channel’s 8 to 11 p.m. shows drew an average of 83,000 viewers in the key advertising demographic of adults aged 25 to 54. That figure represents the network’s lowest weekly primetime demo rating since 1991, the Nielsen data shows. Fox News won the week with 186,000 primetime 25-54 viewers—more than doubling CNN’s numbers—and MSNBC came in second place with 111,000 viewers in that key demo. CNN’s primetime lineup, which underwent a major revamp last year, currently consists of Anderson Cooper’s AC360 in the 8 p.m. ET slow, The Source with Kaitlan Collins at 9 p.m., and the Abby Phillip-hosted CNN NewsNight at 10 p.m. A network spokesperson told the Post that the network’s primetime shows were “all growing year over year” among the key 25-54 demographic.

They have their heel on the throat of Biden's campaign and they are putting all their weight on it.

11. Actually the numbers aren't good for any cable during that time.

Pretty low viewing all around. It’s about to get worse with the drum beat getting Biden out of office. Viewers are tuning out.

Their ratings are abysmal. Even Fox News doesn’t do great, about 1% of America watches their shows.
