Compromised News Network Loses 66% of Primetime Viewers

Once upon a time, in a galaxy not far away, CNN was the undisputed king of cable news. Now it's just another sad sack bleeding viewers like a stuck pig somewhere in the Middle East.

The primetime audience has cratered from roughly 1.3 million in 2016 to 553,000 now. "The decrease, from roughly 1.3 million in 2016 to 553,000 now, is fueling rumors of a possible network sale," The Daily Mail reported. 

Over the last decade, the once-mighty network has seen its primetime crowd shrink by nearly two-thirds. That's not a dip, that's a nosedive.

The numbers get even uglier when you zoom in on certain time frames. 

Sure, CNN had a nice little sugar rush during Donald Trump's 2016 ascent, but those gains eventually flipped into a full-blown catastrophe. In the golden 25-54 demo that advertisers drool over, things are downright apocalyptic. By early 2025, CNN was scraping by with a pathetic 118,000 primetime viewers in that group. That's about equivalent to an overloaded train in India.

The rot isn't confined to the evening hours either. Daytime viewing, once carried by reliable old hands like Wolf . . . Gasp . . . Blitzer, has plunged from 752,000 to 433,000. Compared to the same stretch in 2021, primetime is down 71 percent and daytime has tanked 73 percent.

All this glorious free-fall has unfolded amid a parade of executive musical chairs. 

Jeff Zucker bolted, Chris Licht's short reign was a dumpster fire, and now Mark Thompson is the guy trying to apply tourniquets. His big plan? Ditch the old-school TV roots and go all-in on digital, because apparently that's where the cool kids are these days.

The restructuring highlights include axing more than 200 staffers in early 2025 to fund the digital dreams, chasing mobile content that lets thumb-scrollers "flick" through stories like they're swiping on Tinder, launching a new streaming effort in late 2025 after the CNN+ fiasco proved what a genius idea that was the first time around, and somehow finding $70 million to throw at subscription food and fitness slop.

CNN lifers keep insisting this is just part of some grand industry migration to "alternative means" of getting news. Sure, tell that to the competition. 

In January 2025, The Daily Mail noted, "Fox News, however, has continued to fly high, capturing more than 70 percent of cable news’ audiences during primetime since (the 2024 election), as well as nearly 50 percent overall."

Comedy News Network (CNN) will be chopping off top names as ratings go down the toilet

CNN staff whose names are not on the tip of tongues

Long ago in a country far, far away from where it is now, a cable tv network was considered the go-to station for news you could trust. But things have changed and most people know that the cable network in question, CNN, is no longer a trusted name in news and seems to be going the way of another once upon a time news outlet, The New York Times. 

Big changes are down the road over at CNN, as the ratings have gone down deeper than Lia Thomas diving for his pearls. The company can't even compete with Fox News or even the execrable MSNBC.

What happened, you ask. Well, when CNN went ballistic on conservatives to the extent they recently have, especially when Trump was President, the decline began.

They initially blamed CEO Chris Licht for the circling of the bowl. It's like a sports team that was once great and now sucks--they blame the coach even though he had brought them to a championship in the past. The coach didn't suddenly become suckworthy--it's the players who did. 

With Licht gone, the new guy on board is known for cutting the fat off the cash cow. That could mean the big budget personnel, like pretentious Anderson Cooper, who rakes in $20,000,000 annually, could become CNN history, like Donald Le'mon and Brian Stelter.

According to a new report, many of the network's big "stars" as mentioned, could face large pay cuts or the chopping block.

The new CEO Mark Thompson is the guy with the butcher knife and is likely to use it before it's too late to salvage the network. Other names like Chris Wallace, Jake Tapper, and Wolf "take-a-breath" Blitzer may become CNN history, according to a source who will remain anonymous, so you don't need to trust what he or she says.

“Anderson knows he’s on the chopping block because he makes a whopping $20 million a year. He’s already started looking for a new gig!” a network insider exclusively tells In Touch. “Chris Wallace takes $8 million and figures he’s a likely target, too!” Wallace, you may recall, worked for Fox News and was quite job secure in spite of his left-leanings. But he went to CNN for a new show but it failed faster than Al Sharpton yells 'racist,' and the network gave him another spot.

Insiders say other network favorites — including $15 million man Blitzer and $8 million gent Tapper – are also bracing for the boot!

The network's ratings have fallen below Hallmark and History. I suspect that with the way things are going for them, The Daily Wire's "Bentkey" series for kids is going to outpace them.

Don't believe for a minute, however, that CNN is going to shuffle over to the right anytime soon. They might, but it's doubtful. But people are getting fed up with woke "wisdom" because a) it's anti-reality; b) it's anti-capitalism, which means those who subscribe to the woke philosophy will indeed go broke.

World's Worst Person Keith Olbermann calls for Jake Tapper's resignation for doing journalism

Failing podcaster and possible borderline personality sufferer Keith Olbermann blasted Comedy News Network's Jake Tapper for not discrediting the Durham Report because it uncovered the FBI's anti-Trump lies. 

Tapper admitted that the report was "devastating" to the FBI and Olbermann, never one to mix reality with his leftist opinion, wrote, "It isn't. Not even close. No charges, just partisan ‘conclusions.’ And Tapper of the new non-journalistic Chris Licht CNN is propagandizing." Licht, of course, is CNN's CEO.

Staff at CNN are attacking Licht for allowing a former President of the United States and candidate for a second term, to be interviewed by the network at a town hall. How dare he allow for free speech and actual journalism by allowing Trump to speak on their network.

Olbermann, who was fired from MSNBC in January 2011, called Tapper's comments about the FBI the network's "new scandal," and like all jealous losers called for his resignation. 

"Jake Tapper needs to resign," Olbermann tweeted to the 440,000 people who read his whiny demand.

What Jake Tapper said about the Durham Report was that it was "devastating to the FBI and to a degree, it does exonerate Donald Trump." 

I'm sure Tapper wasn't happy about the report's finding but, to his credit, he gave what sounded like an honest journalistic response. And to Olbermann's discredit, he gave the response the few who follow him expected.

The report released Monday by Durham found that the Department of Justice and FBI "failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law" when it launched the investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion.

The hoax perpetrated by those agencies severely impacted the results of the 2020 presidential election that was ultimately won by a corrupt and cognitively impaired miscreant.

Fun Fact: in 2017, Tapper couldn't report enough about the Trump-Russia collusion scandal and legitimized the then "confirmation" of the Steele dossier. To his credit, he at least conceded that not all of the details of the dossier were fully corroborated and only partially sucks at reporting accurately.

CNN's Lemon accused of hating women and sending threatening texts to female colleagues

Not so dandy but happily gay Don Lemon of CNN fame has gotten into hot water this year for making a derogatory comment about women. This seems to be his habit because this wasn't the first time he's said things that are clearly misogynistic.

A bombshell report in Variety Wednesday made serious allegations about Lemon's past like his sending threatening text messages to women he believes he is tougher than, and he has repeatedly shown misogynistic and "diva-like" behavior that would make Dylan Mulvaney proud. Of course, CNN downplayed the claims, calling them "patently false anecdotes."

In 2008, "The Lemon" co-anchored CNN's weekend show "Live From" alongside Kyra Phillips, where he had what Variety called "concerning" antipathy with his female colleague.

"For months, tensions between the pair kept mounting. On more than one occasion, a ‘Live From’ producer and a newsroom supervisor had to pull Lemon off the air during a commercial break because of the anchor’s provocative antics," Variety’s Tatiana Siegel reported.

"While Phillips was on assignment in Iraq — a high-profile gig that Lemon coveted — he vented his disappointment at being passed over by tearing up pictures and notes on top of and inside Phillips’ desk in the news pod they shared, according to two sources who worked there at the time. When she returned from Iraq, things only got weirder," Siegel continued. "One night while dining with members of the news team, she received the first of two threatening text messages from an unknown number on her flip phone that warned, ‘Now you’ve crossed the line, and you’re going to pay for it.’"

Phillips was "was visibly rattled and quickly enlisted CNN’s higher ups to identify the sender," according to Variety. And who could blame her? What did the threat mean by 'pay for it'? It sounded ominous and very serious.

"Remarkably, the texts were traced back to Lemon, according to those same sources. A human resources investigation was launched, and while the findings were never disclosed to the growing pool of staffers who were aware of the situation, Lemon was abruptly pulled from his co-anchor duties with Phillips and moved to the weekends. It was a demotion by any objective measure and understood to be some kind of disciplinary action," Siegel wrote.

But the Compromised News Network took the side of Lemon.

A CNN spokesperson provided the outlet with the following comment: "Don says the alleged incident never occurred and that he was never notified of any investigation. CNN cannot corroborate the alleged events from 15 years ago."

Possibly fearing for her life, Phillips, who now works for ABC News, declined to provide Variety with a comment. 

Lemon was not paired with female co-anchors again until his demotion in 2022, when CNN's CEO Chris Licht removed him from primetime and made him the focus of the newly launched "CNN This Morning" alongside Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins. Lemon's ratings at the time were lower than whale poop, and that's at the bottom of the ocean.

In February, Lemon infuriated female staffers after he said that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was "past her prime" at age 51. He swore it was true and suggested to his female colleagues to "google it."

The dumbest dude in the news then attempted a mea culpa during the network's morning editorial call the following morning after his comments were widely condemned as sexist, but it didn’t go over like a fart in a crowded elevator.

Lemon was benched for a few days but continued to anger colleagues when he used the time off to relax on a Miami beach in full view of the paparazzi.

CNN deserves Lemon. They are a media laughingstock with less credibility than China's claim that the spy balloon was privately owned.

"The incident has spotlighted Lemon’s troubling treatment of women and unprofessional antics, dating back nearly two decades. Variety spoke with more than a dozen former and current colleagues who painted a picture of a journalist who flouted rules and cozied up to power all while displaying open hostility to many female co-workers. Each and every time, he appeared to charm his way out of facing any meaningful consequences," Siegel wrote.

Then there was the time that Lemon clashed with Kaitlan Collins live on air and a video made the rounds in February where Lemon refused to let the show go to a commercial break while criticizing Kentucky Republican James Comer, after an interview Collins had just finished with him. 

As Harlow praised Collins for her interviewing skills and said "moving on," Lemon said, "Not moving on," and proceeded to make a speech about having a "shared reality." He also admonished the show's producers to cut the music, so he could speak.

And he still works for CNN.

The incident with Collins came after comments the idiot made about the U.S. men’s national soccer team deserving higher pay than the women’s team because they are "more interesting." Had he said they deserve more money than the women's soccer team because they bring in more revenue, he would have made a convincing argument, but he didn't. Evidently, watching men in shorts and muscular legs running up and down the pitch is more interesting for him than watching women do the same.

Variety reported that Lemon’s colleagues consider him "diva-like," and "a shameless name dropper," who openly dated a much younger male junior employee long before he came out of the closet.

Lemon really does not appear to like women. He called one of his producers 'fat' to her face. He even mocked Nancy Grace on air by mimicking her, Siegel wrote.

Variety also reported that Lemon once suggested former CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien "isn’t Black" in front of multiple staffers when she was selected to host the high-profile documentary series "Black in America."

O’Brien didn’t deny the allegation telling Variety, "Don has long had a habit of saying idiotic and inaccurate things, so it sounds pretty on brand for him."

CNN attacked the messenger, Variety, when asked for comment about the damning report.

"The story, which is riddled with patently false anecdotes and no concrete evidence, is entirely based on unsourced, unsubstantiated, 15-year-old anonymous gossip. It’s amazing and disappointing that Variety would be so reckless," a CNN paid liar told Fox News Digital.

And while it looks as if CNN will never kiss Lemon goodbye, his ratings on "CNN This Morning" managed only 360,000 total viewers last week compared to 1.9 million for "FOX & Friends."

And he still works for CNN.

CNN's Lemon makes deplorable apology for sexist words but is called a "eff-ing a-hole"

The eff-ing a-hole of the Comedy News Network (CNN) morning show, Don Lemon, is trying to make people believe he's sorry for saying that women over 50 are past their prime. And if anyone knows Don Lemon, they know he's not an expert on women as much as he is on men, and had to google that information. 

In reality, Lemon was not talking about women being in their cognitive prime, but in their reproductive prime. However, because he's an eff--ing a-hole and an over-achieving misogynistic idiot, he conflated the two. [H/T Fox News Digital]

Lemon attempted to apologize during CNN's morning editorial call after he vomited those comments on Thursday, which was condemned by the few who heard them as sexist. If he did not have a history of being an eff--ing a-hole, as he recently displayed with his co-host on air, [google it, he does], he might have gotten away with his apology in which he said that he "did not mean to offend anyone," but everyone who knows this history knows he's as false as a penis on a woman who has 'transitioned.'

The misogyny came when the Lemon claimed Nikki Haley was past her "prime" as a woman after she announced that she would be running as a candidate in the 2024 presidential election. 

Morons like the Lemon believe they can say whatever they want about Republican women and women on the Left are not going to react when it clearly implies the same about them. Being the eff--ing a-hole that he is, the Lemon was wrong.

"Most pathetic attempt at an apology I have ever heard in my life," a CNN insider told Fox News Digital. "It did not go over well."

The same insider added that Lemon is a "eff--ing a--hole" for claiming that he must not be sexist simply because he has women in his life [but loves him some men] and compared it to a White person trying to downplay racists comments by insisting they have Black friends.

Fox News Digital previously confirmed both the Lemon and CNN CEO Chris Licht addressed staffers following widespread outrage over his comments. Licht called Lemon’s comments "upsetting, unacceptable and unfair" to his morning show co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, calling it a "huge distraction."

"I’m just saying what the facts are. Google it. Everybody at home, when is a woman in her prime, it says 20s, 30s and 40s," the eff--ing a--hole said. "And I’m just saying Nikki Haley should be careful about saying that politicians are not in their prime, and they need to be in their prime when they serve. Because she wouldn't be in her prime according to Google or whatever it is."

But the controversy may be the only way the failing network can pick up a few more viewers. Specifically, people might tune in as they wait for the next shoe to fall and Lemon drops.

CNN hits 3,287 day (9 year) low

The Compromised News Network (CNN), the far-left fake news outlet that spreads conspiracy theories like a farmer's manure spreader spreads what it spreads, and pushes for violence in order to boost its anemic ratings, has hit a 3,287 day low for the week of January 16 through January 22, 2023. 

According to Nielsen, it averaged 444,000 viewers in primetime and of those in the most important 25 to 54 age demographic, barely reached 93,000 news viewers--that's about a trainload of India commuters going to Goa for a swim. It's the first time since May 2014 that CNN failed to have 450,000 viewers.

In the same time period, Fox News hauled in 1,400,000 viewers, many of whom owned a My Pillow pillow and a topper, while MSNBC grabbed 629,000 leftist viewers. In prime time, Fox News had 2,000,000 viewers and MSNBC had 943,000.

CNN's new honcho, Chris Licht, looks like he made a dumb move with CNN This Morning, which has suffered ratings lower than whale poop [which is, of course, at the bottom of the ocean]. The show, which is anchored by a lemon with the same surname was able to gather just about 331,000 viewers during the week in the ratings.

How badly a suck is that?

Think Lemon.

Licht took Lemon out of his primetime "circle the bowl" spot and put him into mornings in the hopes that people would be tricked into watching this smug, leftist, serial liar and racist moron over their morning coffee. But nobody likes Don Lemon.

Fun Fact: The CNN This Morning ratings that were already in the dumpster, dropped even lower.

Maybe they should try to re-ignite CNN+ and bring back the old weed-whacker Jeffrey Toobin.

Compromised News Network's CEO reveals bad news for employees

The new CEO for CNN, Chris Licht, performed a six-month review to evaluate CNN's profitability and the result doesn't look good for employees of the struggling leftist company. There's gonna be a whole lotta shakin' goin' on.

Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of CNN, will soon lay off over 1,000 employees before year's end, according to anonymous sources telling CNBC. The company currently has 40,000 employees but profits are set to decrease below $1 billion for the first time since 2016, aka: 'Orange Man Bad Era. [Fun Fact: UK's former Prime Minister Liz Truss lasted longer than CNN+.]

Licht's job, assigned to him by Discovery CEO David Zaslav, was to trim the fat from CNN and the fat was quickly trimmed (in more ways than one) with the firing of Brian Stelter. 

In a memo to employees, Licht stated, “There is widespread concern over the global economic outlook, and we must factor that risk into our long-term planning.” In other words, learn to code, peons. 

“All this together will mean noticeable change to this organization. That, by definition, is unsettling. These changes will not be easy because they will affect people, budgets, and projects.”

Due to the fact that people are generally fed up with wokeism and constant attacks against half the nation, Licht is attempting to make the network less biased in its reporting and less “obsessive” about politics, according to CNBC. 

The shakeup also included a demotion for Don Lemon, who lost his primetime position and was moved to CNN’s new morning show debuting on Tuesday. He swears that it isn't a downgrade, but that's fake news and coming from him, should not surprise us.

Once Trump was out of office, CNN began to circle the bowl as its ratings collapsed by nearly 70 percent.

Now it looks as if Licht is going to "do a Musk" and clean house.

Reliable source leaks names of next to go on CNN hit list

Last Thursday was a tragic day in the history of our media. The sun turned to blood and there was gnashing of teeth and wailing among men of strength. People were out on the streets and in airports all across our great nation, feeling scared and luckless to the point that many refused to board the planes they were supposed to take because they felt their collective luck had run out. 

Just kidding. Brian Stelter was fired from the Compromised News Network (CNN) and the birds were singing, planes flew safely, and all was well in the world. But now that Spud Stelter is gone, what's next?

Well, reliable source Jon Nicosia believes that Stelter isn't going to be the last one out the door, according to Brodigan. [H/T Louder With Crowder]

Nicosia has a decent resume having worked for Mediaite, Independent Journal Review and the Washington Examiner and knows a thing or three and he has a source who leaked about Stelter when he left CNN's new president Chris Licht.

Nicosia's source could obviously be wrong, but he or she has earned the right to be heard, if not believed. And according to the reliable source, we might be bidding farewell to such leftists as John Berman, Jake Tapper, Don da' Lemon, John King, Alisyn Camerota and my personal favorite to get the boot, Jim "Dear Diary" Acosta.

Licht was brought aboard the CNN garbage barge to try to balance it slightly to the middle and decrease its vacuous suck. The network has been so crappy that it had to pay airports to air it in their waiting areas.

But will the dream come true? Will the network deep six the current crew and start fresh with people who are there to report the news with a lot less spin and a lot more factual information?

Compromised News Network's Brian Stelter will do anything to keep his job

The Compromised News Network's Brian "Are You Going to Eat That" Stelter said on Sunday that the Hunter Biden scandal isn't just some  "right-wing media story." That's a far cry from what he originally called the story: "a classic example of the right-wing media machine."

Now that CNN has made a management change, Stelter knows his job is on the line and he will do or say anything to, or for anyone, to keep his job.

"Brian Stelter is a TV-news fan boy who's self-worth is connected to being on air, even if no one watches his show. But one of the many reasons he's seen as such a joke is his transparent strategy of doing or saying anything to stay on TV," conservative talk radio host Jason Rantz told Fox News Digital.

"He's not a journalist; he's a publicist for whatever management asks of him. He sees the direction CNN is taking, and he knows he's not the right fit so, suddenly, he's shifting again," Rantz added. "If Stelter had credibility with the audience to begin with, this would be an issue. This is only about credibility with management, telling them he'll do what's necessary to keep that paycheck."

On "Reliable Sources," Stelter's Sunday show with an oxymoronic title, he implied that so-called President Biden's 2024 re-election ambitions could be dashed by the ongoing federal investigation into his drug-addled son, Hunter, in an interview with Mike LaRosa, the former press secretary for First Lady Doctor Jill Biden.

"What about his son? What about Hunter?" Stelter, who is not gay, asked softly. "Hunter under federal investigation, charges can be coming at any time, this is not just a right-wing media story. This is a real problem for the Bidens."

How uncharacteristic of Stelter to point out an obvious truth. This isn't how he initially reacted to the Hunter Biden scandal. Back in 2020, he said the scandal was "manufactured" and pro-Trump "whataboutism" from the right.

"There's a lot about this story that does not add up… for all we know, these emails were made up, or maybe some are real and some are fakes, we don't know," Stelter told his viewer in 2020 about the story which dealt with Hunter's overseas shady business dealings. "But we do know that this is a classic example of the right-wing media machine," he told the viewer.

He once called the New York Post's reporting of Hunter Biden's laptop a "manufactured scandal," a "so-called scandal" and suggested the newspaper is not a "fully reliable source," like he is.

The current CNN CEO Chris Licht is evaluating all CNN yarn-spinners and executives to determine who should remain on staff after the network had drifted all the way to the left under Jeff Zucker, whom Stelter was known to deeply admire and have a slight crush on.

Zucker left CNN in early 2022 ahead of a merger that put the network under the control of Warner Bros. Discovery.

 Earlier this year, Axios named Stelter, along with Jim "Dear Diary" Acosta, as CNN hosts who could be shown the door if the new regime institutes an overhaul and attempts to become an actual news network.

Fox News contributor Joe Concha believes the move toward the middle by Stelter stems from CNN having a new boss who wants to put an emphasis on "news," as opposed to liberal talking points. 

"He’s pretending like he’s actually never said these things and thinks that it could be a big problem for the president in 2024. Yeah, welcome to the party, pal," Concha said Monday on "FOX & Friends First."

"We’ve been talking about this for some time and don’t pretend like you [didn't] dismiss this story as a manufactured scandal and now, because you have a new boss, I guess he’s trying to keep his job by actually doing his job, by talking about this story the way it should be talked about," Concha said.

One can only guess how far Stelter would go, what disgusting things he would do, just to keep his job.

Stelter and Acosta might get booted from CNN's new reign

Communist News Network's (CNN) hosts Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter may be on the chopping block as the network plans to attempt a nonpartisan approach to news, a change that will likely cause whiplash as they turn from the left, under the leadership of alleged sex offender Jeff Zucker, to the middle. 

Supposedly, the new regime has high hopes of restoring some semblance of credibility with a less Trump-centrist, hard-left approach, as their new chairman and CEO Chris Licht takes the helm. He told staffers that he would "double down on what's working well and quickly eliminate what's not." This led both Acosta and Stelter to worry about their futures, but at least neither of them have been outed as sexual predators like Zucker, Cuomo, Lemon (allegedly), or as video masturbators like Jeffrey Toobin.

Axios reported on Tuesday that "three sources familiar with the matter" regarding future plans said that Licht is evaluating if staffers can adjust to the less polemic approach, and anyone who doesn’t fall in line "could be ousted" so they don’t continue to hurt CNN’s reputation of fake news.

"To conservative critics, some on-air personalities, like Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter, have become the face of the network's liberal shift," Axios’ Sara Fischer wrote, using Stelter as an example of the network's hosts who could be out on their butts. She had previously been a guest on his Sunday "Reliable Sources" political comedy show.

Stelter, who is an allegedly straight cis gender man, did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Fox News because they are conservative and do not go along with his far-left values except where he and capitalism are concerned.

Acosta's serious face

A CNN leaker pointed out that Fischer merely noted that Stelter and Acosta are targeted by non-leftist media, and they aren’t identified as being targeted for termination at this time.

Acosta’s inclusion was unsurprising, as the staunchly liberal host has long been considered one of the more partisan, obnoxious and narcissistic personalities at the failing network.

Acosta became famous for shouting questions at Trump, strong-arming a young woman when she was instructed to take his microphone from him when he refused to allow Trump to answer a question, and for being a total bickering ass on the telly. 

Acosta is the embodiment of fake news and he really isn't very bright.

And while Licht " doesn't want to necessarily shy away from personality programming, especially in prime time," Fischer wrote, he wants to see the numbers rise and doesn't want leftist views to dominate in ways that will cause intelligent viewers to change the channel to the "Cooking Show."

Licht said he would "reimagine" [a pretentious word that means 'imagine'] CNN's morning show where co-host Brianna Keilar would be obnoxious with conservatives and would speak over them. Whether or not she remains is still a mystery, but if she does, then there you go again.
