It’s no April Fool’s joke — last month CNN delivered its lowest-rated month in total day in over a decade, since August 2001, the month before the September 11 attacks. The once-dominant cable news network posted decade-lows among both total viewers (357,000) and Adults 25-54 (108,000). Versus April last year, CNN was down 21% in total viewers and 29% in 25-54. In comparison, leader Fox News CHannel was up 2% in total viewers (1.1 million) and 1% in 25-54 (273,000) and No.2 MSNBC was flat in total viewers (425,000) and down 5% in 25-54 (139,000).

Things did not look brighter for CNN in the evening where its shows too posted across-the-board declines: John King USA at 6 PM was down 41% in the 25-54 demo, Erin Burnett Outfront at 7 PM was down 34%, Piers Morgan was down 14% at 9PM, and Anderson Cooper 360 was down 8% at 8 PM and 28% at 10PM. In primetime, CNN had its lowest rated month in nearly two years, since August 2010, in both total viewers (508,000, down 16% from last year) and adults 25-54 (149,000, down 22%). Meanwhile FNC (1.9 million, 395,000 in 25-54) was flat in total viewers from last April and down 9% in 25-54. MSNBC (754,000; 236,000) was down 5% and 9%, respectively.

interesting. maybe people are getting sick of all the election coverage. so many debates, so many primary nights, so much analysis.
 
It's because of all the advertisements they constantly shove down our throats. I swear, when I watch CNN 40% of the time is spent just watching the same old cinematic-elevator-type-touristy-marketing-stuff over and over and over again and again and again. (Malaysiaaaaaa ... Truely Asiaaaaaaaa!! ... okay, this is from some while ago)

And then another 20% of the time is just spent watching their animated logos.

"Yes, I know I'm watching CNN. I personally chose the ****ing channel with my own personal remote!!!"

And Discovery and National Geographic can listen too.

No surprise there. People want real information, not the sanitised stage-managed news they have been spoon-feeding Americans over the years. Slowly mainstream media are recognising if they want viewers they need to report the news.

RT, Al-Jazeera and the ton of independent online news sources are taking off..

Something you probably won't see covered much in the mainstream US media:

Abridged: The First Amendment Is Now a Felonious Criminal Act

For many, awareness of the existence of the new law will only become apparent when they are arrested and charged under new Federal trespassing guidelines as they attempt to protest, display signs or disrupt any person or event of national significance. An event of national significance is any activity where Secret Service agents are responsible for security. With several thousand agents in the field at any given time, events involving the President, Congressional members, staff or individuals running for Federal office are all fair game. More
