Deluded CNN ‘Journalists’ Blame Sinking Ratings on ‘Not Being Tougher on Trump’

To quote Bugs Bunny "what a maroon!"

It was their "being tough on Trump" that gave him his path to the White House in the first place. They were unfairly harsh with him and the public rebelled. He won a lot of black votes because he was seen as a ghetto kid "pursued by the Man", for instance.

CNN now accounts for just 11% of prime time cable news viewers, and that in all likelihood because they have a monopoly on airports and other such things. During the election cycle they dropped by a whopping 52%. By comparison Fox holds a 48% share in prime time and 50% overall. And those numbers were even higher as the election cycle wound down. Fox is just crushing CNN drawing in 69% share in total day (6 AM-6 AM/ET) and 72% share with primetime (8-11 PM/ET).

Fox has grown by about as much as CNN has fallen.

Viewership at MSNBC dropped 53% this election cycle and THEY did not temper their message where Trump was concerned. The Big MS is seeking a buyer now, and cutting the salaries of their top hosts. So saying that CNN's problem was a lack of attack jounralism againstt Trump is like saying an alcoholic's cirrhosis of the liver is caused by not drinking enough Old Overcoat bourbon whiskey.

I hope this view remains in place. As long as they continue to lie to themselves they cannot mount any credible attacks on the future POTUS. They are just hysterical, spittle flying from their flourid faces as they scream incoherently. That's a defeated group.
