Good Bye, CNN and Good Riddance

Scandal-ridden CNN sees ratings dive by 90% after 2021 coverage

By Alexandra Steigrad | January 12, 2022

CNN's ratings took a nosedive by a massive 90 percent both overall and in the all-important demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year.

The Jeff Zucker-led cable news network averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of Jan. 3 — a major drop from the nearly 2.7 million viewers for the same week in 2021, according to Nielsen ratings.
The year-ago ratings were jolted by the left-leaning network's coverage of the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, which resulted in CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980.

But on the one-year anniversary of the attacks, viewers flipped over to CNN's right-wing rival, Fox News, which topped the ratings for coverage of the event.

CNN has been plagued by a cascade of high-profile scandals, most notably the firing of its primetime star Chris Cuomo after the anchor was found to be secretly aiding the defense of his embattled older brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, over sexual harassment allegations that resulted in his resignation.

CNN's longtime boss Zucker was slammed last month over the network's low ratings and dealings over scandals concerning network stars Cuomo and Don Lemon.

Chris Cuomo Is A Fucking Shitbag


A "violation of standards?" Since when does CNN have "standards?" They pioneered fake news.

Now all that remains to be done is for CNN to be kicked over the ledge:
