Compared to this same week last year, Fox News increased its primetime audience by one percent, and MSNBC increased its audience by 28 percent. In comparison, CNN — a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and violence — lost 25 percent of its primetime audience.
Emphasis added with unbridled glee:
How did Fox News, MSNBC and CNN fare relative to the year-ago week, one which featured live and breaking news concerning Hurricane Ian? Well, Fox News posted year-over-year gain of +1% in total primetime viewers but an -8% drop off in the primetime demo. The network is still trending in the wrong direction when it comes to total day viewing, shedding -20% in total day viewers and -32% in the total day demo. MSNBC gained +28% in total primetime viewers, +21% in the primetime demo, +21% in total day viewers and +17% in the total day demo from the same week in 2022. CNN, on the other hand, posed year-over-year losses across audience measurements. The network is -25% in total primetime viewers, -37% in the primetime demo, -29% in total day viewers and -38% in the total day demo versus the week of Sept. 26, 2022.
You can laugh at Fox News gaining only a single percentage point, and I love to laugh at Fox News, but keep in mind that 1) Fox’s ratings are already high, and 2) Fox still gained one percent after losing Tucker Carlson.
I think MSNBC’s 28 percent gain is CNN’s loss. Yes, MSNBC is every bit as left-wing as CNN, but 1) CNN lies about its very identity by posing as objective, and 2) CNN’s on-air anchors are the most unappealing group of people ever collected before a television camera.

Oh, glory be… CNN is doomed.
CNN is solely dependent on the money 60 million idiots pay to their cable/satellite company every month. If CNN is on your cable package, you are subsidizing CNN. But CNN is doomed once enough people cancel their cable, which is inevitable in less than a decade. There will not be enough money coming in from the Cable TV Con to keep CNN alive, and CNN will never survive on merit — meaning revenue based on advertising based on viewership. NO ONE WATCHES CNN.
Remember CNN’s streaming service, CNN+? It lasted four weeks. Why? Because a streaming service has to survive on merit, and no one likes CNN.
For over ten years, I have told you that the Cable TV Con was the one-legged stool holding up the entire left-wing entertainment world and that canceling your cable (or satellite) package was the most effective way to hurt the fascists who hate us. Well, people are canceling by the millions, and it is all falling apart, especially at the Disney Grooming Syndicate.
Here are a couple of “experts” confirming everything I’ve been saying and predicting for more than a decade [emphasis again mine]:
In 2011, [Disney] made $40 billion in overall revenue. Media networks, that is essentially the cable bundle—most of which was ESPN or much of which was ESPN—was $19 billion of that $40 billion. So almost 50 percent of revenue was coming from the cable bundle. If you look at operating income, so revenue minus operating expenses, total operating income in 2011 for Disney was [nearly $9 billion]. Media networks, that’s the cable bundle, was $6 billion, 75 percent of operating income.
…
Hollywood has been decimated by the rise of streaming. At Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, and Sony, profits on TV, film, and streaming went from $23 billion in 2013 to about zero in 2023. Nothing tells this story more clearly than a brief history of Disney. In the early 2000s, Disney under CEO Bob Iger went on one of the most extraordinary runs in modern business history. ESPN was the most valuable network in the cable bundle. … But today, Disney’s stock is at a nine-year low. Operating margins are down 75 percent. Disney+ lost $4 billion last year.
If you’re complaining about Hollywood propaganda and media propaganda and still subscribing to cable or satellite TV, you are doing more to prop up people who hate you than anyone else.
You want to see CNN and Disney diminished, humbled, and maybe even forced to provide content for normal people? Cancel your cable package, dummy. If you have Internet access, you have a ton of free TV available to you through streaming channels like Tubi, Pluto, the Roku Channel, and FreeVee.
You gotta be a real cluck to still pay for television, and if you’re a conservative or Christian or in any way normal, you gotta be a real cuck.
