Turns out having criminals producing a news show that constantly lies isn't great for long term ratings success. Who knew?
"CNN Lost 90 Percent of Its Audience
CNN saw a sharp decline in viewership the first week of 2022 with a nearly 90% drop both overall and in the critical demographic coveted by advertisers,” reports the Daily Mail.
The network averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of January 3, a precipitous drop to the nearly 2.7 million viewers from the same week in 2021.” ------------------------------
Notably, this was when hysteria about an "armed insurrection" was at its highest at the disgraced network. Something democrats counting on using the event as something to win in 2022 with should take note of (but won't).
But the news gets worse for the "news" outlet:
"CNN also saw an 86 percent decline in the much-desirable 25-to-54 demographic, with a paltry 113,000 tuned in last week, compared to the 822,000 CNN averaged a year ago.
The network, which was swallowed up by AT&T in its merger with WarnerMedia last year, has been plagued by high-profile scandals – most notably the firing of its top-rated prime time star Chris Cuomo after the anchor was found to be helping his sex-pest brother Andrew try to beat harassment allegations, which led to his resignation as New York’s governor.
CNN also shed 89 percent of its primetime viewers among its key demographic and 91 percent of viewers ages 18 to 49." -------------------------------
Well, that and two of the highest level producers being arrested for banging kids, Don Lemon warning Juicy about the cops coming to get him, Don speculating that a black hole ate a missing air liner, Cuomo getting busted for claiming he was self-isolating when he wasn't, years of breathlessly telling viewers that "Russia-gate" was real despite not one wit of evidence, Jeff Tobin jerking off on a zoom meeting (then somehow not getting fired), and their constant - aggressively wrong - reporting about covid 19 just to mention a few things.
In normal times such scandal, relentlessly bad reporting, and horrific ratings would mean a massive purge - literally everyone would be fired.
But in these "trying times" we've seem multimedia companies produce woke bomb after bomb, despite knowing the end result. But how much longer this can last - even as shelves go bare and prices skyrocket - is anyone's guess.

How can they keep going?
Who would advertise on this network?
Besides pharmaceutical companies?

People who watch now are the same people who stop traffic to look at car crashes....
...But worse.

How can they keep going? Who would advertise on this network? Besides pharmaceutical companies? How is it that every fast food chain has fake meat burgers on the menu that no one buys?
We are going further into post-market economy.
Consumers will get only what they are offered.
The availability of things you might actually want will eventually be made cost-prohibitive if not utterly off the menu.
Not that absolutely anything should necessarily be on the menu, but the things that perhaps really shouldn't be are positively promoted.
Simply put, the dominant political class gets the government to subsidize the failing legacy media outlets that spew their preferred narratives and promote whatever else builds their version of what they think will be better world along with their preferred industries and causes.
There are countless examples. Just follow the money.
But all this is academic.

You know, if I knew that there was a massive meteor heading for Earth, and there was a mission being organized to stop it, I would sabotage the mission.
Let it hit.
Either that or the recurrent micro-nova event that resets us every 12000 years.
Last one was 12000 years ago.
Reset.

The B movie cheese of 1979's METEOR is probably far better than the ham-fisted ideological propaganda of DON'T LOOK UP.

BTW, METEOR actually spawned one of the most produced - and still highly respected - pinball games of all time.
You ever see one for sale, you let me know....

...And the lowest ratings in 7 years as the "news" organization continues to tumble: "Fox News finishes with largest primetime advantage over CNN since August 2015 Fox News averaged 1.5 million total day viewers from Feb. 7-13, finishing as the only basic cable network to surpass the one-million viewer benchmark. USA, MSNBC, HGTV and Hallmark rounded out the top five while CNN averaged only 444,000 viewers to settle for eighth. It was CNN’s worst performance in the category since November 2015." ------------------------- CNN is a laughing stock even among other liberal news outlets, and there's zero signs they've hit bottom yet. www.foxnews.com/media/fox-news-crushes-competition-cnn-draws-smallest-weekly-audience-seven-years |

CNN is officially now owned by AT&T's WarnerMedia.
