CNN’s attacks against President Trump reached a new low in 2019, and so did their television ratings and viewership. At one time CNN was the industry standard for cable news, but under Jeff Zucker CNN is a total laughing stock. Few are watching the now fake network, and that is a good thing.
CNN’s Ratings Collapse In 2019, While Fox News Dominates, Hits New Record
By DailyWire, January 2nd, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementIt wasn’t hard to predict who would finish the year the winner of the cable news ratings race, but predicting just hard CNN would faceplant is another matter.
The increasingly openly left-leaning network, which has suffered a loss in viewership in recent years, saw another 9% decline in total viewers, according to Live+7 Nielsen ratings for 2019. Its primary left-leaning competitor, MSNBC, also saw a decline in total viewers, but at a third of the rate of CNN. MSNBC’s total viewers nearly doubled that of CNN.
Meanwhile, Fox News notched a new record high in total viewers and average primetime viewers.
Nielsen’s full-year ratings for 2019 found Fox News, ESPN, and MSNBC atop the cable news networks, in that order, while CNN finished far below, at 22nd overall.
“Fox News averaged 2.5 million viewers per night in 2019, the most in its 23-year history, making the network the most-watched channel on basic cable,” The Hill reports. “According to Nielsen Media Research, Fox News beat out ESPN, with its 1.78 million viewers, and third-place MSNBC, which drew an average of 1.75 million viewers in prime time.”
Fox’s dominant performance in 2019 makes four years in a row that the right-leaning network has beat out the cable competition.

FOX is beginning to lean LEFT.
Asia for Asians, Africa for Africans, White countries for Everybody?
America is a White country. It was settled by White men for Ourselves and Our Posterity. It’s in the Preamble and Naturalization Act. We owed something to the Aboriginals and ADOS – noone else.
Racist? I prefer and preserve my own children, just like every other race is allowed. Privileged? In my own countries, just like every other race is allowed.
Besides, maybe some privilege is warranted. We are, after all, responsible for the overwhelming majority of the prosperity and advancements the rest of the World enjoys.
I really, really hate to say it, but you are correct. While I can do nothing about interracial marriages and Green Cards/Visas, I can instruct my children on the truth of everything. However, I do believe GOD gave us this country, NOT BASED ON RACE OR COLOR, but on RIGHTEOUSNESS AND MORALITY. If anyone, no matter what race, nationality or color AGREES TO FOLLOW OUR CONSTITUTION AND LAWS, then I have no problem with them being here. BUT, most of these illegals ARE DIRECTLY VIOLATING our laws, yet they are still here. It MAKES NO SENSE and our Forefathers are rolling over in their graves wondering why we have done this to ourselves after all they did for us.
MUSLIMS and ILLEGALS should never be in America because THEY HIDE BEHIND THEIR OWN BY LYING AND DECEIVING THE REST OF US. Blacks have done well, except for the radical ones who want to blame someone else if they are not successful, but I know quite a few of them who are honorable people with integrity.
Our Constitution is the KEY to remaining in America. If a person cannot or will not accept and uphold it, THEN THEY NEED TO BE DEPORTED IMMEDIATELY.
And, I don’t want to hear, “AMERICA IS OPEN TO ALL PEOPLE BECAUSE AMERICANS ARE GOOD AND KIND, ETC.” Any American that doesn’t understand our history and our Constitution AND cannot abide by it without trying to change it to fit the needs of illegals and Muslims, NEED NOT OPEN YOUR MOUTHS.
THE CONSTITUTION IS FOR LEGAL AMERICANS, NOT ILLEGALS (who do not obey our laws) and NOT TO MUSLIMS (who only follow their own laws which are the opposite of our Constitution.
TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT, AMERICA(NS):
MUSLIMS HAVE SHARIA LAW, not the U.S. Constitution.
ILLEGALS DISOBEY OUR LAWS BECAUSE THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY.
WHAT PART OF ANY OF THAT DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND OR DON’T YOU CARE ABOUT LAW AND ORDER AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE?
Don’t you care about the rest of us who are following the law, working, be productive, and taking care of our families? WOULD YOU LIKE ALL OF THAT TO BE ELIMINATED? WELL, IT WILL BE IF YOU CONTINUE TO ALLOW ILLEGALS AND MUSLIMS TO TAKE AUTHORITY OVER YOU AND OUR COUNTRY/CONSTITUTION.
The U.S. was founded by white people also.
Look what is happening to our country when we haven’t been careful on who came here…
We should never have allowed these third world people here and a “diversity” lottery..
FoxNews does NOT dominate. They are just ahead because they are not totally liberal, ah, but they are working on being TOTALLY LIBERAL soon enough!
I WOULDN’T WATCH FOX NEWS IF YOU PAID ME TO.
OANN
NEWSMAX
THE 2 BEST!
Amen, Tom!
SkyNews from Australia seems pretty good too.
I’ll choose Liz Wheeler from OAN over Fox News every time…
Glad to here that the Cuomo News Network is collapsing.
Jeff Zucker is a serial failure. He drove NBC ratings into a depression for years!
He lost both Jay Leno and Conan because of a decision to switch their timeslots. a tactical error.
may he continue his streak by bringing CNN into the dumpster bin.
CNN should collapse being fake news category and masquerading as a news source.
CNN is no longer a news network, as is plain to anyone with eyes to see.
The question is how long the suits at Comcast, and the shareholders, will continue to subsidize Zucker and his failing propaganda forum.
….☭NN?……..or……☪NN?
They swing both ways now.
If it wants to survive, Fox must get rid of its Bolsheviks like Rivera, Brazile, Williams, etc. Maybe send them to CNN, where they belong?
Dear Pamela –
Even FOX-NEWS seems to get outdated and undercut…
Please open something like “PAM-NEWS” or similar.
I’ld be one of the first to collect money.
.
With firebrand Tomi Lahren.
She once hosted Tomi on TheBlaze, where she gained notice for her short video segments called “final thoughts”, in which she frequently criticized liberal politics.
Obama got her fired.
I wonder how much longer AT&T will continue to absorb the losses of CNN and continue funding the Commiecrat zealot Jeff Zucker?
