Even the left can agree with us on one thing: Donald Trump single handedly saved CNN’s ass from creating ratings during his presidency. Without Trump CNN would have been 10x worse off than they are right now … and looking at where CNN is right now, that’s saying something.
Chris ‘Fredo’ Cuomo has long been the laughing stock of cable news. The man has absolutely no credibility left, whatsoever.
One of my favorite moments from his show was when he told viewers it was ‘illegal’ for citizens to access the Wikileaks websites and damaging documents that helped stop Hillary’s rigged bid for the White House:
Now THAT is how you shill for a candidte right there.
Then (I am skipping over plenty of other absurd moments) the failing network actually let Chris interview his brother, the crime boss of New York, Governor Andrew ‘Kill ’em with Covid’ Cuomo. The ‘interview’ was widely mocked for being the complete and total joke that it was:
That surely didn’t age well .. and neither did his show:
Fox News is reporting:
‘CNN’s Chris Cuomo continues to shed viewers as his embattled brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D., drags down the family name with multiple scandals and bipartisan calls for his resignation.
“Cuomo Prime Time” had its smallest average audience last week since the coronavirus pandemic started to dominate the news cycle across the United States. CNN’s viewership decline comes as Cuomo’s big brother has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women, threatening to “ruin” a female reporter, and covering up coronavirus nursing home deaths in the state.
CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” averaged 1.31 million viewers during the week of March 15, the show’s smallest total since it averaged 1.3 million viewers during the week of March 2, 2020 – days before coronavirus rocked America as the NBA shut down, actor Tom Hanks tested positive for the virus, and then-President Donald Trump addressed the nation about the virus from the Oval Office.
“Cuomo Prime Time” finished 2020 with a yearly average of 1.8 million viewers, making it CNN’s most-watched program. However, the left-wing CNN show has dropped roughly half a million nightly viewers since then.
“Cuomo Prime Time” also struggled among the key demographic of adults age 25-to-54, averaging only 307,000 viewers for its worst performance since the week of Feb. 24, 2020 among the group most coveted by advertisers.
Cuomo’s downfall could be impacting other CNN programs, too, as the liberal network failed to surpass Fox News among total viewers during any specific hour of the day from 6 a.m. through midnight last Monday through Friday.
For the week, Fox News doubled CNN’s primetime viewership and had a double-digit percent advantage over CNN among total day viewers. As a result, CNN finished with its lowest rated weekday audience among both total day and primetime viewers since the week of Feb. 24, 2020.’
Without Trump to beat up and lie about, and having to defend Biden while he is running the nation off a cliff, CNN is in deep trouble. I don’t see them regaining the trust of the American people anytime soon … do you?
