CNN loses so many viewers, they lose some who don't even watch it in the first place

The Children's Neverland Network (CNN) has lost so many viewers that people who never watch it are watching it even less. "Reliable Sources" needs to change its title to "Unreliable Anonymous Sources," and their slogan: The Most Trusted Name in News™ needs to be changed to: "The Most Busted Duded in News."

CNN's rating are lower than whale poop and nothing seems to be changing. On the other side of the coin however, Fox News Channel (FNC) was the most-watched cable network in the 24-hour daypart in the final quarter of 2021, averaging 2.37 million viewers in primetime, while CNN came in with a mere 642,000, [about the equivalent of travelers on the rooftops of trains going from Chennai to New Delhi].

Once their number one nemesis, Donald Trump, was no longer in office after being kicked off social media, the only stories you heard wasn't so much by CNN, as they were about the network.

You had the silly Lemon to Fredo handoffs each night that sounded like they originated in a special woodworking class in junior high school. 

Then there was the disgraced Chris Cuomo situation where he worked behind the scenes, using his influence to help his disgraced brother, Handy Andy Cuomo, in trying to overcome his sex scandal and Covid incompetence, while concurrently having scandals of his own.

Then there's Don Lemon with his own sex scandal of allegedly putting his hands down the pants of another man in a bar and grabbing his junk. Most recently Lemon appeared on CNN's New Year's Eve Drunkfest where he bragged about being a grown "ass man," 

Do we really care about Lemon's sexual preferences? Or Jeffrey Toobin's Zoom masturbation scene? 

And let's not forget about Jake Tapper's producer, Rick Saleeby who is under criminal investigation for his involvement with children, and former producer John Griffin with his criminal charges and how he allegedly paid a mother to sell him her little girl in order to "groom" her sexually.

Once CNN didn't have Trump to "journalism" about round the clock, their ratings circled the bowl, and averaged 585,000 primetime views which put them into 17th place, probably behind Gilligan's Island and Matlock reruns.

TVNewser reported:

FNC averaged 1.44 million total viewers across the 24-hour day time period (total day), up six percent over third-quarter 2020. […] Fox News also averaged 2.37 million total viewers in primetime, No. 2 on basic cable (behind ESPN, which averaged 2.63 million). Fox’s 2.37 million average is less than -1% from Q3 ’21 and -37% from Q4 of ’20, which was a highly-rated quarter featuring a presidential election.

Meanwhile, CNN continued to tank, averaging just 492,000 total viewers across the 24-hour day time (total day) in the fourth quarter. As noted by TVNewser, the 492,000 was down 18 percent from third-quarter 2021, 67 percent down from fourth-quarter 2020, and an astonishing minus-73 percent compared to fourth-quarter 2020.

Meanwhile goofballs like Lemon and Brian Stelter still go after Fox News and look pathetic in their attempts to discredit the network and their viewers.

Obviously, CNN doesn't give a fiddler's fart if they're in a top-rated viewing slot. They're more interested in being with their colleague losers of the Left than appealing to a broader public as Fox News Channel obviously does.

And while FNC is center right, you can tell they're a lot more balanced than CNN (and the other leftist networks) when they have people like Geraldo Rivera, Jessica Tarlov, Leslie Marshall, and Harold Ford Jr. as voices from the other side. 

Also, they don't hide their opinion contributors from their journalists. You can easily tell the difference between Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity from Bret Baier or Shannon Bream. You can't say the same about Don Lemon, Brian Stelter, or any of the others whose names I don't know because I don't watch that crap.
