Nolte: Dying CNN Crashes to 374K Viewers, Fox News Tops ABC, CBS, NBC

CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads disinformation and promotes violence against Jews, hit an astonishing ratings low during the week of May 26 to June 1.
CNNLOL averaged only 374,000 primetime viewers, which is six times — six times — lower than the Fox News Channel average of 2.3 million primetime viewers.
Fox News topped all three broadcast networks during the week of May 26-30. NBC and CBS averaged only 2.4 million average primetime viewers, while CBS earned just 2.3 million. Fox News grabbed 2.7 million.
Between May 26 and June 1, Fox News earned 1.5 million average viewers throughout the total day, compared to CNN’s pathetic 308,000.
In the 25-54 age demo that sets advertising rates, Fox News attracted an average of 175,000 during the total day and 240,000 during primetime. CNNLOL earned only 49,000 and 61,000, respectively.
The Fox News Channel’s most popular show, The Five, earned more demo viewers — 409,000 — than CNN earned average primetime viewers. The Five also attracted 3.7 million total viewers. That’s more viewers than most primetime network shows, and The Five probably costs about a 20th to produce.
CNN cannot survive much longer in its present form. As people move from cable to streaming, CNN is losing billions in the left-wing affirmative action called “carriage fees,” and CNN’s advertising revenue must be dismal. If the Trump administration outlaws Big Pharma ads, that might be the silver bullet.
Before the end of the decade, CNN will be nothing more than a free add-on for HBOMax.
Looking back at the total month of May tells you just how dire things are for both CNN and MSNBC.
Here are the raw May numbers. The percentages in parentheses reflect viewership compared to this same month last year:
Average Primetime / Demo Viewers Viewers All of May
FOX: 2.463 million (+24 percent) / 262,000 (+32 percent)
MSNBC: 877,000 (-24 percent) / 73,000 (-34 percent)
CNNLOL: 426,000 (-18 percent) / 76,000 (21 percent)
Average Total Day / Demo Viewers All of May
FOX: 1.557 million (+21 percent) / 180,000 (+22 percent)
MSNBC: 545,000 (-33 percent) / 49,000 (-41 percent)
CNNLOL: 353,000 (-25 percent) / 59,000 (-27 percent)
CNN recently revamped its primetime lineup, but did so with the same stiffs that were failing elsewhere in the lineup.
Fox News is thriving, while CNN and MSNBC are dying.
Why?
Well, it’s not all politics. Several studies tell us that more Democrats and women watch Fox News than CNN and MSNBC.
Maybe it has something to do with credibility, such as this…

It might also have something to do with sex appeal. Fox News hires a lot of smart and likable babes. CNN and MSNBC hire shrews. Why watch the ever-expanding Brianna Keilar, Kasie Hunt, and Brian Stelter when you can watch this?
