MSNBC viewers leaving in droves since Election Day

Since Election Day, far-left propaganda network MSNBC has lost an eye-popping 54% of their primetime viewership according to Nielsen Media Research.

While the leftist network averaged 1.1 million viewers in October, by Wednesday, the day after Election Day, and the following Thursday and Friday, the average viewership circled the bowl at 736,000 viewers. That's about as many people that can fit on the roof an India train bound for Delhi. 

Perhaps Trump's landslide victory was just too much for them to bare.

Meanwhile, like them or not, Fox News Channel's viewership grew by 61% over the same time period as MSNBC had an overall drop of 31%.

MSNBC also dropped 26% of its year-to-date totals, but things got even worse in primetime, as per Nielsen. For starters: 

During the primetime hours of 8-11 p.m. ET, MSNBC averaged 1.8 million total viewers in October but viewership of "Alex Wagner Tonight," "All in with Chris Hayes" and "The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell" have averaged only 808,000 total viewers since election night. The 54% drop represents more than half of the network’s primetime viewers, and MSNBC is also down 51% from its year-to-date totals while Fox News is up 58% in primetime compared to 2024 averages.

MSNBC is also down 16% among total day viewers and 57% during primetime among the critical demographic of adults age 25-54, which is most coveted by advertisers.

A veteran TV news executive anonymously said that MSNBC’s audience appeared to love to hate Trump during his first administration – but that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer.

"As its poor post-election night ratings show, MSNBC should not expect a ‘Trump Bump’ this time around. Even liberals are rejecting its condescending tone and the divisive rhetoric of its new standard-bearer, Joy Reid," the longtime TV news executive said.

Will her days in the public eye be numbered?

MSNBC personalities have not taken Harris’ loss particularly well, as hosts and pundits have repeatedly tried to assign blame for President-elect Trump’s landslide victory. 

The American people have spoken both at the ballot box and with early voting.

People are tired of the claptrap and racism spewed by such MSNBC lunatics like Joy Reid, who never met a white man she didn't hate.

Perhaps someone on the far-left will buy the network before it is fully flushed down the bowl.

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.

Cuomo's numbers are circling the bowl at CNN

Chris "Don't Call Me Fredo" Cuomo has lost about 600,000 Comedy News Network viewers since his brother and comedy sidekick Andrew "Handy Andy" Cuomo became involved in a sexual misconduct scandal involving a bevy of women, and the nursing home scandal in which at least 15,000 nursing home residents died due to his mandate. 

But Fredo only violates the network's conflict of interest rules when all seemed well with Andrew, and now he cited them as the reason for not covering the scandals.

The governor made nine appearances on Chris' show during the height of the pandemic, but suddenly he has become a persona non grata on the CNN comedy hour. Fredo refused to cover the nursing home death scandal and the sexual harassment scandals that have embroiled his brother. He chalks it up to the network's conflict of interest guidelines which evidently didn't exist before the scandals became actual news.

A mere 1.6 million viewers on average tuned into "Cuomo Prime Time" since the ban on Handy Andy went into effect in mid-February, according to Nielsen Media Research as reported by Fox News. 

From March 20 to June 24, 2020 the average viewership was 2.2 million viewers when the governor's popularity was in the stratosphere [like it was in the days of Michael Avenatti who CNN touted as presidential material] while the elderly in the state were dying like moths at a campfire. And all the while, Andrew Cuomo was writing a book on how wonderful he handled the coronavirus.

Now even the left is seeing the governor for the slug that he appears to be as he tried to cover up the deaths in his state, blaming them on nursing home staff, the families, everyone but himself in spite of his mandate to return COVID patients back to the nursing homes while they were still infected.

Now there are eight women [so far] who have accused the governor of sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior. He denies all the claims and refuses to resign even after top members of his party asked him to do so. People like Chuck Schumer and Kirsten "Whichever Way the Wind Is Blowing" Gillibrand. 

Dumb and Dumber

Andrew Cuomo has steadily refused to resign in the wake of the mounting scandals and the growing chorus demanding it, from voices such as senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer.

In 2020, 'Cuomo Prime Time' was the most-watched show for CNN, averaging 1.8 million viewers a night. The theme of the show was just two bro's having a blast. Fredo even used props, like a huge Q-tip to emphasize the size of Andy's nostrils. All this while folks in New York state were dying from COVID.

On his March 1, 2021 comedy show, Fredo addressed the elephant in the room.

"You're straight with me. I'll be straight with you. Obviously I'm aware of what is going on with my brother. And obviously I cannot cover it because he is my brother."

Obviously Andy was his brother even when he was covering him on his show.

On a positive note however, CNN's ratings overall are also down and is losing millions of viewers on average since President Trump left office. In fact, the average viewership is down almost 50 percent in the 24 to 54 age group, according to Nielsen, a percentage that coincidentally matches the number of working brain cells in the head of President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.

MSNBC's Maddow has numbers lower than a sunken ship's head

The numbers tell the story--Rachel Maddow the MSNBC prime time anchor has viewership ratings lower than sunken ship heads. [Look up the meaning of a ship's head for more information on the analogy given.] And she is maintaining a trend in which her numbers continue to plummet every month this year.

Maddow’s show has dedicated years and viewer time to intensive coverage surrounding the Mueller investigation. She averaged 2,608,000 viewers per night with 410,000 in the key 25-54 age demographic in May, according to Nielsen Media Research. That's about the same number of New Delhi riders on the roofs of buses in their morning commute.

Maddow's show came in third for cable news behind Fox News prime time hosts Sean "Thirty Million On Food Stamps" Hannity and Tucker Carlson. 

Hannity’s average audience was 3,138,000, with Carlson’s coming in at 2,761,000. The Five and The Ingraham Angle rounded out the top five.

The supercilious silly Maddow hit her peak in January this year, averaging 3.3 million viewers. Then in February, that number dipped to 3.1 million and again to 2.9 million in March. 

Her March coverage included the beginning to the end of the Mueller probe, when his office submitted his report to Attorney General William Barr and the investigation went public. 

Maddow’s numbers continued to circle the bowl. 

In April, her show averaged an audience of 2,630,000 people when Barr released a full and mandatory redacted version of the Mueller report revealing that there was no evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with Russian officials to win the 2016 presidential election.

Now she's pushing for the Democrats to poop or get off the pot with impeachment. Why not? It doesn't affect her and could only help her anemic numbers. 

But of course, Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi knows that impeaching a sitting President is political suicide and she has a lot more to lose than Maddow.

NFL ratings circling the bowl

Kaepernick unintentionally taking a knee

Like a Colin Kaepernick poorly thrown pass, NFL ratings continue to drop.

The season is officially underway and the viewership ratings are in and are showing a marked decline. Evidently, Americans are less inclined to watch a bunch of millionaires go down on their knees when the national anthem is played. Protesting a false narrative about black people being shot by cops due to racism is factually false, but facts don't matter when you're trying to be relevant.

The Eagles-Falcons game had seriously lower ratings than last year's first game. NBC's broadcast had a 13.4 household rating compared to 14.6 last year--an 8 percent drop. And last year's plummeted 9 percent from 2016, reminding us of the late, great Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" hit song.

One factor that may have also contributed to the lack of viewership was that the game had to be pushed back 45 minutes due to severe weather in Philadelphia. Many people want to believe that this is the real reason for the decreased interest.

However, the Nothing But Communism network (NBC) claims the game had the best ratings for a sporting event since the 2017 Winter Olympics and the Power Saw Ice Carving Capades in Shaboygan.

CBS's Pelley dumps on Trump may get bumped

CBS glamour guy Scott Pelley is losing viewers like Blockbuster Video lost customers after Netflix was launched. While the CBS Evening News was always leading from behind of its competitors, it has gotten a lot worse since President Trump took office.

Anchor Pelley has become even more enthusiastic about pulling the chain and flush, as his job begins to circle the bowl. 

Since the November election, the Evening News managing editor and chief 60 Minutes correspondent (if you can call his leftist views 'journalism' rather than opinion) has thrown away all pretenses of being objective as he takes cheap shots at President Trump and tells the American public how to think.

Yet in spite of the incredible wisdom Pelley pontificates to the public, Evening News has taken a massive dip in viewership going from worst among the big three evening news programs to worstest, a word that was invented just for CBS's Evening News. 

At last count they had 7,621,000 viewers with only 1,702,000 in the key demographic compared to NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt's 9,182,000 viewers.

This month there has been a serious decline among the left-leaning networks with Pelley's freak show getting the hardest hit. On April 3rd, he raked in a tiny viewership of 6,249,000 viewers--that's about as many people who typically ride on the roof of a New Delhi train to Chennai. The key demo is a pathetic 1,366,000 liberals, about 1.7 million fewer than ABC's World News Tonight.

Pelley's problem is his obvious disdain for the values and voters of heartland viewers, a demographic CBS relies on more than the other networks. A.J. Katz of Ad Week, said in March how the leftist Pelley "has become a critical evaluator of Pres. Donald Trump during his newscast, a tactic not necessarily used by his fellow evening newsmen."

Some say Pelley has one foot out the door and the other on a banana peel. Pelley denies that as vociferously as Hillary Clinton on Benghazi.

What used to be journalism on the three networks has become op-ed, and in Pelley's case, an attack on the viewers who were wise enough to go elsewhere. 

Just another case of the dog biting the hand that feeds it.
