You can ask just about anyone who has known me for a while that I was saying that the Communist News Network (CNN) was completely full of shit 20 plus years ago. I never needed Donald Trump to come along and be the first person to look them in the eye on live television and tell them they are fake as shit. And as it is with so many things it took a while but we have a brand new for our friends in Atlanta that they deserve so richly:
The Collapsed News Network.
When Trump came along CNN knew they had to make a choice. Take a stand and deny that they were fake news, or ignore Trump’s allegations and prove through their own actions and reporting that they were capable of their self-proclaimed title of “the most trusted name in news.” You don’t pay James Earl Jones to record your signature promo line if you don’t mean it, right?
Of course we know what they picked – they were already fake so why change. Let’s just start going all-in on everything that was anti-Trump and we’ll blast the son of a bitch out of the water. I mean hell, they had it teed up just after the election: all of their regular liberal idiots like Adam Schiff and others assured them that the Russian Collusion story was legit. CNN smelled blood and went nuts on the story. It was like bees around a trash barrel on a summer day.
And for four years they chased fake narrative after fake story after fake hero. Somehow in 2017 now convicted felon Michael Avenatti was going to be the next Democratic presidential nominee and was on the network it seemed like 24/7. They defended New York governor Andrew Cuomo until it became obvious they couldn’t anymore. I don’t have enough space on the blog for all the creepy, moronic idiots that they’ve trotted out in front of the American people, but we all know it’s been quite a parade. And in the end, it all blew up in their face.
Time after time their stories were wrong. Time after time even the most ardent spin artist couldn’t make their reporting mesh up with reality. Everyone came around to what I’ve known for a long time – they are fake as shit. And the ratings, unlike their pleas for relevancy, are the proof in the pudding.
CNN averaged 2.7 million viewers from Jan. 4-10 last year as the network experienced a brief post-election spike but plummeted to only 548,000 average viewers last week, for a stunning year-over-year drop of 80% of its total audience. EIGHTY PERCENT.
CNN’s eye-popping decline is even worse among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54, as the liberal network shed 86% of its viewers and finished last week with only 113,000 average viewers in the critical category after averaging 822,000 a year ago.
Among the demographic of people age 18-49, CNN shed nearly 90% of its 2021 audience by dropping from 624,000 younger viewers to a dismal 73,000.
Personally I’m glad to finally see them sleeping in the bed they made. I hope they lose billions. I hope the idiots that have run that shit show are all fired or worse. They deserve it. Every last luscious bit of it.
If local TV stations didn’t buy CNN’s national news coverage & public locations (airports) quit showing their tripe, CNN would dry up & die within a month.
I would say “Amen” but you might think I’m preaching! Still, in this case, a phrase commonly associated with many biblical verses does apply; “ask and ye shall receive”!!!!
