President Donald Trump noted that CNN’s ratings have dropped significantly in a missive on July 12.
“Wow, @CNN RATINGS HAVE CRASHED. LOST ALL CREDIBILITY!” he wrote on Twitter.
The language in the post indicated that the president had read or heard about a report from the right-leaning Fox News published on Thursday that was titled: “CNN mired in a credibility crisis as ratings continue to collapse, experts say.”
The report noted that CNN ratings have dropped even lower in the second quarter of 2019, averaging 541,000 viewers—less than half of Fox News.
CNN has for years ranked behind MSNBC and Fox and its top show is usually outside the top 20 shows. Overall, the cable news channel, which openly opposes Trump, often ranks behind channels like TLC, HGTV, and the Hallmark Channel.
Joe Concha, the media reporter for The Hill, told Fox that CNN may see its ratings decline even more.
. . . . ( Skip a bunch ) . . .
“Losing nearly 40 percent of an already third-place audience must be a primary topic in internal meetings, with immediate remedies not readily apparent,” Concha added.
CNN has been cutting some jobs, axing over 100 in one round May. Another layoff took place later that month as most of its health unit lost their jobs.
