What is the mainstream media supposed to do to attract viewers now that Trump has left office? Well, clearly they haven’t figured that out yet as left-wing news network CNN has seen its rating plummet since Trump left office. CNN’s ratings dropped about 44% during the first full week since Trump left Washington, D.C.
The Daily Wire reports:
In the first week of the Biden administration, [CNN] saw the audiences that had been flooding into primetime recently drop precipitously on Jan. 25-29 compared with the highs of previous weeks. Meanwhile, rival Fox News Channel saw its own ratings only dip slightly after weeks of registering its own sharp declines.
Another network that has been characterized as left-leaning, MSNBC, has also seen significant declines but nowhere near as steep as what has hit CNN: Variety Intelligence Platform’s analysis of the viewership data across two key metrics — the target news demographic for people ages 25-54, and the total audience watching — shows that CNN ended the final week of January with ratings dropping roughly 44% for total audience versus the prior week across all three hours of primetime.
Both CNN and MSNBC flourished in the Trump era as their news and opinion hosts ran counter programing to the administration and played up accusations of corruption and misconduct, such as ex-special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia. Mueller’s team eventually reported that they found insufficient evidence that Trump or his campaign colluded with Russian agents to influence the 2016 election.
Under President Joe Biden, CNN and MSNBC have pivoted, taking a much less adversarial stance to the administration that many of the their left-wing viewers agree with and would disapprove of the networks bashing.
Since 2016, the network has launched attack after attack against the President and his family but now that they’ve left the White House the reporters have been left with nothing to report on. God forbid they comment on President Biden’s record-shattering list of executive orders and the negatives effects they’ll have on us and our nation.
