CNN reaches new lows as viewers would rather go to the dentist

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." Abraham Lincoln

Americans, for the most part, are not stupid, save for politicians and the woke. The result of our not being easily fooled by media bias has caused CNN [aka the Compromised News Network] to reach an abysmal viewership. 

The situation has been insidious as scandals, misogyny and worn out anti-conservative reporting has been their bread and butter, but they have reached the point where the butter is rancid and the bread is stale. The company had an historically small audience in February and things are not looking so great for the near future in spite of what David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery says. He said of CNN's turnaround that "It isn't gonna happen overnight." 

That's why Zaslav makes the big bucks. 

CNN's anemic numbers in February should scare the hell out of him and the other top executives. Even their attempts of showing real news not involving their hatred of former President Donald Trump, didn't help them in the ratings game.

The worst thing for the network is that the demographic audience that tends to pull in the most money, and that's the 25 to 54 age range, is at a CNN third lowest-rated month since the start of 2001.

"Anderson Cooper 360" and "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" had their lowest-rated months in the category since June 2014, while "The Lead with Jake Tapper" had its worst performance since July 2014, while John King's "Inside Politics" had its smallest demo audience since the summer of 2005 when Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans.

To put things in perspective, a passenger train going from Delhi to Chennai, India, has more people in it and on the roof, than watches CNN. But seriously, the Food Network, TLC, TBS, USA, Fox News, A&E Comedy Central, MTV, Hallmark, FXX, and the Let's Watch Paint Drying Network, had better ratings.

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.
