What is currently happening to the Washington Post may soon be coming to the newsroom at CNN. The far-left, Russia collusion hoax pushing network has reportedly lost almost a third of its viewership since 2016.
It turns out the public eventually walks away if you keep on lying to them.
With the singular exception of Scott Jennings, the network pushes an anti-Trump agenda on a daily basis, 365 days a year. They have been due for a reckoning for some time now.
The Daily Mail reports:
CNN has lost nearly two-thirds of its viewership since 2016 amid growing fears network is circling the drain
CNN has lost nearly two-thirds of its primetime viewers over the past decade, figures show.
The decrease, from roughly 1.3 million in 2016 to 553,000 now, is fueling rumors of a possible network sale – something CNN’s up-for-grabs parent company has vehemently denied.
The results recorded this month by Nielsen are actually an improvement from January, when stars like Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper, Erin Burnett, and Kaitlan Collins only secured 488,000 sets of eyes.
The network’s daytime lineup has seen a similar decline as hosts such as Wolf Blitzer failed to move the needle, dropping from 752,000 to 433,000.
When compared to the same part of the year in 2021, the drops were even more pronounced – 71 percent for primetime and 73 percent during the day.
Several network executives told the Daily Mail that the results were worrisome, even amid broader industry trends.
A CNN source, meanwhile, blamed the poor showing on audiences consuming news through alternative means.
People are talking about this on Twitter/X.

Just like the Washington Post, CNN earned this situation. A lot of people who still work for them should have been fired after the 2016 election. They were completely wrong back then and they still are today.
