Counterfactual News Network ratings dropping faster than a Biden gaffe

CNN's ratings are dropping faster than a breast implant performed by Dr. Jill Biden on Nancy Pelosi. The Jeff Zucker-led network would rather continue attacking former President Trump and Fox News than actually report news--new events, new stuff. Trump has been out of office and off social media for months and the cretins over at CNN, like Brian Stelter, just cannot find a way to "quit" him.

Not one single, solitary show [to imitate Joe Biden's verbiage style] had at least 900,000 viewers on Friday. Their primetime slot also got a lickin' and is hardly tickin' with prime averaging less than 800,000 viewers.

If CNN was a person rather than a crappy cable network, they would have a serious case of anemia and flatulence.

 Prime averaged less than 800K overall.

For comparison, the network averaged 2.74 million viewers in January, so we're talking about more than two-thirds of the audience – gone. https://t.co/a4f14QXStm

Greg Gutfeld is more than doubling viewership over the mouthbreathing Don Lemon despite the fact that Gutfeld’s show is supposedly more of a niche comedic exercise. 

Jake Tapper, who was formerly a reporter but has given it up at CNN, comes nowhere close to competing with Fox News in either of his time slots.

It almost seems that CNN's viewers are going to sleep around the same time as Joe Biden, and when they're not sleeping, they're too busy looking for something or someone to destroy.

The most frightening aspect of the CNN situation is that on some level, it seems that they care about their ratings even less than they care about their conflict of interests like with Chris Cuomo reporting on his governor brother Andrew. He only stopped clowning around with Andy when the proverbial crap hit the fan over the coronavirus and sexual misconduct scandals surfaced.

CNN cares more about inserting itself into being an arm of the DNC, like the other networks that aren't Fox News, and they simply cannot quit Trump. They even pulled their airport contracts across the nation and that accounted for much of the fake viewership which seems to support their attitude about ratings.

Even Neil Cavuto's 4 p.m. show, not in itself doing all that great, is still beating every CNN primetime counterfactual news presentation. In fact, the network is the least watched major cable news outlet on television and they're still circling the bowl with their angry anti-Republican rhetoric and absolute bile against Trump.

Plus, like the Democratic Party, they treat their audience as if they're gullible. Sadly, most of them are.

CNN jokes about reinstating "rule" barring Fredo from covering bro as nursing home scandal festers like a puss-pimple

The Comedy News Network's Chris [aka Fredo] Cuomo has been tick-a-lock over his brother's nursing home scandal that is growing exponentially like a strange rash in a delicate place. His brother is, of course, Andrew Cuomo, the older half of the Cuomo comedy team that performed in the midst of the global COVID pandemic while thousands of New Yorkers in nursing homes died as a result of Andrew's Emmy Award winning policies.

Prior to the coronavirus outbreak, Fredo was barring from covering his brother because it was a real conflict of interest and would compromise CNN. But as Andrew's fame grew from his daily press briefings and adoration from the leftist media, CNN decided to climb out of the ratings toilet and allow Fredo and Andy to giggle and fart around on air.

The would tease each other about their physical appearances and compete for their momma's affection. It was a laugh a minute as nursing home residents dropped like flies when coronavirus patients were returned from the hospital to their nursing homes where they infected others left and right.

But now Andrew and his administration is being accused of deliberately withholding crucial date on nursing home deaths from lawmakers following the governor's order to have assisted living facilities accept COVID-positive patients to return.

Critics on both sides of the political aisle are calling on CNN to actually cover the story. But the Washington Post, a left-leaning rag, reported Tuesday that CNN told Fredo to steer clear of his brother's situation.

The Compromised News Network, as it is also called by those who know news, tried to defend its position on not covering the news.

"The early months of the pandemic crisis were an extraordinary time. We felt that Chris speaking with his brother about the challenges of what millions of American families were struggling with was of significant human interest," CNN claimed to the Post.

"As a result, we made an exception to a rule that we have had in place since 2013 which prevents Chris from interviewing and covering his brother, and that rule remains in place today."

The network then claimed that "CNN has covered the news surrounding Governor Cuomo extensively."

And with bias.

Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple panned CNN's statement, calling it "an expression of the problem itself."

"You can’t nullify a rule when your star anchor’s brother is flying high, only to invoke it during times of scandal. You just can’t," Wemple wrote.

But they did.

Wemple referred to the Cuomo-Cuomo dynamic as a "conflict of interest" that "poisons the news."

However, to call CNN a news outlet is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

John Kerry's State Dept. funneled millions to daughter's nonprofit

While John "Swift-boat" Kerry was Secretary of State, his State Department funneled more than $9 million through the Peace Corps to a nonprofit foundation run by his daughter, according to an exclusive report obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation show.

The State Department funded the Peace Corps (the "s" is silent, Mr. Obama) program which was created by Kerry's lantern-jaw daughter Vanessa Kerry and officials from both agencies. The Peace Corps then gave the money, without competition, to a nonprofit Kerry created for the program.

So if it isn't corruption, we can consider it nepotism.

The Peace Corps initially awarded Kerry's group--now known as Seed Global Health--with a 3-year contract worth $2 million of State Department money obtained from you, the American people, as Sean Hannity would say. This transaction occurred on September 10, 2012, just a day before Hillary Clinton's Benghazi attack occurred. At that time, "Swift-boat" was the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and still a failed candidate for the U.S. presidency. That department oversees both the Department of State and the Peace Corps.

Sticky wicket.

Seed Global Health then secured a 4-year extension in September 2015, again, without competition. The Peace Corps in our generosity, gave the nonprofit $6.4 million while Vanessa's daddy was secretary of state.

So if it isn't corruption, we can consider it nepotism.

Seed also got about $1 million from a modification to the first bundle of cash as well as from State Department funds they secured outside the Peace Corps.

The Peace Corps program is called the Global Health Service Partnership (GHSP) and they send volunteer physicians and nurses to medical and nursing schools in Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania and Liberia.

Kerry and his government pals colluded to launch the program and ensure that Seed would get the contract. Vanessa was told that she wouldn't have to worry about competing with another group for the money.

How seedy.
