Some of us have been saying this for a LONG time….
Donald Trump IS a entertainment and viewership boost…
And?….Trump, the meal ticket for the TV Cable News, IS OVERSOLD….
Joe Biden gets scant media coverage because he isn’t the ‘Bad Guy’ that raises ‘Hell’…
Fox is the Right Solid….OAN a Right leaner is gone and CNN is seen as Left lean and MSNBC as Solid left…
The new CNN owner, Chris Licht , wants the Cable News Channel to be less political and more ‘News’.…
He is probally is trying to find a way to boost the places’ ratings that one would suspect against established channel’s that bave the bookends….Being the seemingly ‘slightly left ‘ ‘News’ Channel’ is not getting what the new boss wants….
Lets get REAL….
Fox News, which has a love/hate relationship with Donald Trump LEADS the Cable News hit parade and since Trump started getting into legal trouble?
Has gone UP in viewership….
While Trump’s overall approval has dropped among ALL Americans, who think he SHOULD be investigated by the Feds….
CNN needs to makle ad dollars….
Companies go where the viewership is….
Simple….
MSNBC on the other hand is ALSO increasing viewership….
They have carved out the Solid left viewership market…..
They are in second place in the July viewer numbers…..
The House Select Committee hearings helped them…
But?
CNN rests behind the Hallmark Cable channel these days….
In this day of political divide ?
They ain’t in the top tier…..
In July, CNN averaged 731,000 total viewers in primetime, which is +12% from June, and 541,000 total day viewers, which is +11% from June. The month-to-month A25-54 ratings trend—driven by live coverage of the Jan.6 hearings—was positive as well, with the network gaining +7% in the primetime demo (159,000) and +6% in the total day demo (110,000) from June. On the downside, the network posted the most substantial year-over-year losses, shedding -15% of its total primetime audience, -16% of its primetime demo audience, -9% in total day viewers and -12% in the total day demo vs. July 2021. CNN finished third on cable news in total viewers behind Fox News and MSNBC.
Fox News, MSNBC, Hallmark Channel, HGTV, TLC, INSP, TBS, CNN, Discovery and History were the 10-most-watched basic cable TV networks for July ’22 in primetime. Fox News, MSNBC, Hallmark, CNN, HGTV, INSP, Food Network, USA, TV Land and ID were the 10-most-watched basic cable TV networks for July in total day (6 a.m.-6 a.m.)….

OAN a is not a”left leaner” but rather is Right Wing and pro Trump.
You really ought to check before you published blatantly wrong “Facts.”

Hmmmm?
Could the CNN fall out result in LESS Donald Trump media coverage across the board?
If so?
He’s going to be more trouble…
