To say that the entire fake news industry is facing an existential crisis would be a monumental understatement with things looking particularly bleak at CNN which continues to hemorrhage viewers.

In more bad news for the self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” which failed to prevent Donald J. Trump from winning the election, the cable network just posted its worst ratings in history, not a good sign for continued relevance with information consumers seeking out more trustworthy sources.

According to data from Nielsen Media Research reported by the Washington Examiner, CNN only drew an average of 93,000 viewers in the all-important demographic of 25-54 from Dec. 26, 2023, through Dec. 15, 2024, a period when the network’s coverage of Trump was unrelentingly nasty and chock full of falsehoods.

Just as troubling for CNN is that across all viewing demographics, the regime propaganda outlet netted a mere 488,000 viewers, badly trailing conservative Fox News’ 1.46 million viewers. The numbers are reportedly the smallest audience in CNN history, stretching all the way back to when it used to be a legitimate news channel not a left-wing brainwashing operation.

Ho! Ho! Ho! X users took much delight in CNN’s ongoing bleeding out.

“The released data comes after it was revealed last month that CNN’s coverage of election night garnered 5.1 million viewers, a 44% decrease from the 2020 election. In comparison, Fox News netted 13.6 million viewers in its election night coverage,” the Washington Examiner reported.

On the positive side for CNN, things could be worse. They could be MSNBC.

The network’s prime competitor for leftist eyeballs has entered a screaming death spiral and has reportedly told hosts Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle that they’ll need to accept pay cuts to retain their anchor positions, and even star Rachel Maddow saw her salary chopped by $5 million although she’s still obscenely compensated.

MSNBC’s ratings have severely suffered since the election when their insistence that Trump is a dangerous dictator like Hitler failed to convince the majority of Americans to prevent him from stealing “our democracy” as Reid, Maddow, and their fellow propagandists insisted he would.

It’s not looking good for the legacy media which pushed all their credibility chips to the center of the table in a bad bet to influence the outcome of the 2024 election and lost big time.
