CNN Beats Fox "Trump" News Channel



I remember when Fox News first came on my radar.  It was like stumbling upon an oasis in a desert filled with stinking, liberal trash.  Conservatives yearned for a media outlet that didn’t insult their intelligence or lecture them on the finer points of a socialist utopian society.  Many of us shunned the networks and its New York-beltway clique.

I don’t know what’s happened over at Fox, but lately, it’s getting to the point where I don’t watch the prime time slots anymore, simply because they have turned into the Trump Channel with its constant, never ending coverage.  I’m sick of it!  Apparently, I’m not alone.


CNN ranked #1 in cable news in prime time in April. CNN beat Fox News for the fifth time in the last eight months in M-Su prime time (four of the past eight in M-F prime) among adults 25-54.  The last time CNN had this many prime time wins in an eight-month period versus Fox News was over 14 years ago (Nov. 2001). CNN also handily topped MSNBC this month in all dayparts, with CNN besting MSNBC for the 22nd straight month in Total Day (among both total viewers and among adults 25-54) and in prime time (among 25-54).  In total viewers, CNN has now beaten MSNBC for the fifth straight month (or seven out of eight months) in prime time.  CNN continued to top MSNBC by wide margins during the day (9am-4pm) – posting a +36% advantage in total viewers (630k vs. MSNBC’s 464k) and +58% more among adults 25-54 (161k vs. 102k)


I don’t know if I can make the transition to the Clinton News Network.  Maybe they’ve changed their ways over the years.  Something tells me they haven’t.
