MSNBC, CNN... Happy Thanksgiving!

[jgradyc]

This article states that viewership at CNN and MSNBC is down over 50 percent over the past 12 months.

In the demo period, whatever that is, their ratings were down by nearly two thirds.

Fool me once, shame on me.

Fool me twice, lie, carry the water for the left, I wont watch.

Heard on the radio last week. CNN will be losing the mostly news format to move to a mostly entertainment channel format before the end of 2014.

 

Who reported it?

 

CNN, thats who I was listening to.

I've often wondered how low their viewership would be if every gym in America didn't have their channel running 24-7 in the cardio section.

Not surprised, but those viewers will return like moths to the flame. If they were foolish enough to believe them the first time, they will do it again. They have had five years of being lied to about the ACA and now they are finding out that places like Fox News were telling the truth about it the whole time. Sad really, but many of the people in this country can no longer think for them selves.

Sad. I used to go there for information. But those days are long past.

 

I guess ole Ted will have to adjust his lifestyle.

CNN announced Friday that the third-place network will be investing heavily in everything except serious news-gathering.

If CNN had ever invested heavily in actual news gathering, they might not be in this predicament.

It's there to add additional heart exercise through anger.

Ted was ousted from CNN after Time-Warner merger in 2002, and lost 7 billion clams of personal wealth in the process, and his last tie with the rest of Turner Broadcasting System where he was still a board member ended in 2006.

 

Saw a special on him recently, hell of a guy whatever you think of his politics, one of a kind.

May or may not have known that. But...as I said haven't gone there in quite a long time. So who cares.

Well, it's not like Turner himself was ever an on camera personality there or anything.

 

But anyway, I actually have thought that CNN had come back quite a bit mostly to center in the last 1.5 years or so, have watched them quite a bit as the middle ground between the constant abjectly lying enemy MSNBC and the occasionally unfairly slanted FOX, which does go off quite half baked once in a while.

 

I'm also hooked on Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown on CNN (watching his "Colombia" segment right now). Also, they're done some great feature length docs, like Blackfish and Pandora's Promise recently.
