Big Journalism: Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge, who knows of what he speaks, dropped a bomb Thursday with the newsy prediction that CNN chief Jeff Zucker is doomed. “Jeff Zucker out either way at CNN,” Drudge wrote before adding, “primetime ratings abysmal. Feud with President Trump too personal and ridiculous…”
Then, as if to prove the “ridiculous” part, CNN’s public relations team immediately and directly responded to Drudge with this sorry piece of spin:
MATT DRUDGE
Jeff Zucker out either way at CNN, primetime ratings abysmal. Feud with President Trump too personal and ridiculous…
CNN Communications
CNN is pacing to have its 2nd highest year in primetime since 2008 – behind only 2016 elex year. Those are the facts.
If CNN was only in competition with itself and its own dismal ratings, that tweet would make sense. The problem for last-place CNN, though, is that it has actual competition in the form of MSNBC and Fox, both of which are shellacking The Least Trustws Name In News in every conceivable metric.
Moreover, when compared to the same month last year, CNN’s October 2017 ratings collapsed a whopping 52 percent. Meanwhile, Fox News is only down 26 percent, MSNBC down a mere 6 percent.
My reference to “last place” is not a specious one. Until CNN turned into a 24/7 RedBaitingAntiTrumpFakeNewsHateMachine, the left-wing network was in second place, beating MSNBC much more often than not. So not only has CNN lost more than half of its year-over-year viewers, it has lost its bragging rights over its left-wing counterpart at MSNBC. read more
It seems to me that the DOJ requirement for CNN to be spun off before approving the AT&T/Time Warner merger is some Obama flunkies in the DOJ trying to keep CNN in the hands of Obama flunkies.
– And those who claim President Trump is involved with this opinion are lying to you as Mr Trump would likely appreciate one of the major cable news companies landing with a company that cares about running its businesses in an honest manner.
Clinton News Network is a soros tool. Buy it and burn it down.
Toss it in the pile with espn!
CNN: The Clownfart News Network
(where the “news” always smells “funny)
Does anyone really believe what this bunch of dumpster rats will say about their own ratings? Whutta joke!!
Clinton News Network is a CIA ASSET. The face of the CIA is homosexual child raping faggot Anderson Cooper, who used to work for the CIA as and “intern”.
Its at that time that you can rest assured that the CIA got the heiress on video raping little boys, from that point on staying out of jail and making an extra 20 million a year to spew lies on CNN was a no brainer.
I hope the heiress child rapist ends up under a the wheels of a NYC garbage truck.
Dirty mother Zucker!
Truthfully, CNN doesn’t clarify what is 2nd highest. It could be in number of layoffs. They obfuscated in that respect.
