CNN Sees Dismal Viewership
Numbers in Thursday Ratings

Original Article

Posted By: NorthernDog, 5/8/2021 6:37:08 PM

CNN struggled in the ratings Thursday, seeing less than half of Fox News’ total viewership numbers in key dayparts, and losing in total viewers to both Fox and MSNBC in every single hour of programming, according to Nielsen data. In the 25-54 viewer demographic, CNN beat MSNBC in total day numbers but Fox News still came out on top. The biggest viewership gap happened in the 8 p.m., with Tucker Carlson’s total viewership (2.85 million) nearly doubling that of Anderson Cooper (993,000), and Chris Hayes drawing nearly 50% more total viewers (1.46 million). CNN drew an average 698,000 viewers in

All very well and good. But when you add up the viewers of the two looney Left cable news stations together, they combine for a higher viewership than Fox. That explains a lot about the state of the country that there is actually a market for the garbage CNN and MSNBC spout on a daily basis.

Be more like FOX... Pretend to be a Conservative station and when you are needed the most, stab your viewers in the back.

......." with Tucker Carlson’s total viewership (2.85 million) nearly doubling that of Anderson Cooper (993,000)"..... Typical 'Basic Arithmetic' challenged reporting. If Carlson is well past 2 million, and Cooper is less than 1 million, Carlson is not 'nearly doubling', he is obviously more than doubling.... in fact Carlson's number 2,850,000 is nearly Triple that of Cooper's 993,000. Funny how the Media's arithmetic errors pretty much always favor the Left.

Congresswoman Liz Cheney lectured Fox News host Bret Baier on Thursday in a heated interview about her ouster from the GOP leadership, and the importance of Americans knowing that the 2020 presidential election wasn't stolen. The Wyoming Republican said that Fox News had an "obligation" to make sure viewers knew a second term in the White House wasn't stolen from former President Donald Trump in November last year as Baier defended the network. Fox News hosts, including Baier, have previously pushed back on guests trying to cast doubt over the 2020 election result. The network also ran a package debunking

The issue of whether the U.S. government is doing enough to tackle international cybercriminals moved to center stage this week after the high-profile attack on a major East Coast energy supplier. Even though Colonial Pipeline has restarted operations, there are still lingering questions about the group that executed the attack and how to prevent future assaults on critical infrastructure. In a news conference yesterday, Biden emphasized the U.S. government's belief that the cybercriminals behind the pipeline company attack are based in Russia – which has become a safe harbor for such groups – but do not work directly for the Russian government.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — On a prairie hill on the rolling highway into Wyoming’s capital city looms a billboard with the beaming face of the state’s lone congressional representative, Liz Cheney. In huge letters it declares: “Thank you Rep. Cheney for defending the Constitution.” (Snip) But many others are quick to point out that the billboard was put up by an out-of-state dark money group, a sign of outsiders meddling. And among locals in this state that voted in a landslide for Trump, few are thankful for much of anything Cheney has done lately, and have vowed to vote her out

VIRGINIA — The DMV has been hit particularly hard by the ongoing gas shortage concerns, following a cyberattack over the weekend on the Colonial Pipeline. New data released by GasBuddy Thursday morning showed that more than 50% of Virginia's gas stations were out of gas, while the District neared 50% as well. Patrick De Haan, a senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy, is tracking outages up and down the East Coast. Virginia has 55% of stations reporting gas shortages, while 47% of D.C. stations and 34% of Maryland stations are out of gas. Those numbers climbed from 44%, 10% and 11%, respectively

An Illinois lawmaker this week introduced a proposal that he said is aimed at stopping discrimination in schools based on a student's hair — citing his own experience growing up. State Sen. Mike Simmons, a Democrat from the northside of Chicago, introduced his legislation on Monday. If passed, it would bar schools from having rules against "hairstyles historically associated with race, ethnicity, or hair texture," specifically referring to "hairstyles such as braids, locks, and twists." "No student should be forced to compromise their identity, nor should we continue to allow young people to be traumatized like this in 2021," said Simmons

Colonial Pipeline said Wednesday that it has resumed gas pipeline operations after it was forced to halt after being hit with a cyberattack last week. The shut-off of the pipeline, the primary fuel conduit serving the East Coast, spurred many people on the east coast and in the southeast into panic-buying — with some hoarding gas — and drained supplies at thousands of gas stations.Average gas prices are above $3 and some stations in the Southeast are running out or low on fuel. Across the state of North Carolina, for example, 71% of stations were out of gas as of Wednesday evening

Despite Michigan's deadline today for Enbridge to shut down Line 5, the Calgary-based company's pipeline continues to operate amid a dispute involving governments on both sides of the border. An Enbridge spokesperson confirmed operations Wednesday have not been impacted. Line 5 goes through the Straits of Mackinac, which separate Lakes Michigan and Huron. The nearly seven-decade-old pipeline carries petroleum from Western Canada through Wisconsin and Michigan, and ends at refineries in Sarnia, Ont. (Snip) Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has called the pipeline a "ticking time bomb" and wants it shut down citing environmental concerns. In November, she revoked the 1953

The numbers: Consumer prices rose sharply again in April and drove the rate of inflation to the highest level in nearly 13 years, signaling greater stress on the economy as businesses grapple with supply shortages that are raising the cost of many goods and services. The consumer price index soared 0.8% to match the biggest monthly increase since 2009, the government said Wednesday. Economists polled by Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal had forecast a milder 0.2% advance. The rate of inflation over the past year jumped to 4.2% from 2.6% in the prior month — the highest level since

Only 11 percent of Americans who have not been vaccinated for COVID-19 say they will definitely do so, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research released Tuesday. Thirty-five percent of Americans surveyed said they have not received a COVID-19 vaccine compared to 64 percent who said they have. (Snip) The poll comes as demand for the COVID-19 vaccine declines as those who were most eager to get vaccinated have already done so.

WASHINGTON — U.S. employers posted a record number of available jobs in March, illustrating starkly the desperation of businesses seeking to find new workers as the economy expands. Yet total job gains increased only modestly, according to a Labor Department report issued Tuesday. The figures come after the April jobs report, released Friday, that fell far short of economists' expectations, largely because companies appear unable to find the workers they need, even with the unemployment rate elevated at 6.1%. (Snip) The enormous number of openings will likely add fuel to a political dispute about whether the extra $300 in weekly federal

More than 150 Republicans have signed on to a letter calling for people to 'reimagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative.' The letter, organized by former 'Anonymous' op-ed author Miles Taylor and former CIA officer Evan McMullin, mentions the ouster Wednesday of former GOP conference chair Rep. Liz Cheney. It raises the possibility of a complete break with the GOP and the creation of a third party in the face of what the signers term 'despotism.'

According to Bush, who serves as Texas Land Commissioner, Cheney should have been less focused on former President Donald Trump and more concerned with President Joe Biden and the advancements his administration has made. “So instead of training fire on the President, she really should have been firing on Biden and that agenda…that’s what you want out of your leadership, & unfortunately…she didn’t rise to the challenge,” Bush added. Bush is also the nephew of former President George W. Bush, who worked alongside Cheney’s father, former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick is one the finest books ever written for many reasons, but the main theme is obsession. The captain of the whale ship Pequod is obsessed with hunting down and killing the white whale, the giant mammal that cost the captain his leg. Despite his having lost the last battle with the whale, Ahab is filled with a terrible resolve that is frustrated by his megalomania, his hubris and overconfidence.

Colonial Pipeline Co. paid the group that hacked its pipeline a nearly $5 million ransom in untraceable cryptocurrency within hours of the cyberattack, two people familiar with the payment told Bloomberg on Thursday. The report contradicts Colonial’s public assertion that it did not pay the hacking group Darkside ransom following the cyberattack. A third person familiar with the ransom said the U.S. government is aware Colonial paid Darkside. Colonial declined Bloomberg‘s request for comment. The attack forced Colonial to temporarily shut down much of its services, causing gas shortages and rising prices across the east coast.

Last month, the faculty senate at Pennsylvania State University passed a resolution urging the school to erase certain words from its lexicon, due to the supposedly problematic legacy of the “typically male-centered world” out of which the terms grew. The resolution aims at gendered pronouns such as “he/him/his” and “she/her/hers,” but it also demonizes the four iconic terms for a person’s years in college (and, often, high school): “freshman,” “sophomore,” “junior,” and “senior.” “The University, as with most all academic institutions world-wide, has grown out of a typically male-centered world. As such, many terms in our lexicon carry a strong, male-centric,
