It seems the media giants who have long held sway over liberal audiences are now floundering. As they should be!!
CNN, a network often criticized for their fake news, is losing ground rapidly in the ratings game. As Conservatives continue to thrive in promoting a message of strength and growth, networks like CNN and MSNBC are discovering that their approach is losing appeal faster than they can adapt. Once towering figures in broadcast media, they are now being overshadowed by the likes of the Food Network.
CNN just lost in the ratings to…Food Network!! The news outlet finished in 17th place among all cable stations last week in primetime.
It wasn’t like it was a slow news cycle either. There was the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the manhunt for the killer, the… pic.twitter.com/pPXiU2Xi7I

When Americans prefer baking shows to the so-called “news” these networks peddle, it speaks volumes about their declining credibility.
The Gateway Pundit reports:
Perhaps Anderson Cooper can whip up a casserole on camera to help CNN’s struggling primetime lineup that had a smaller audience than the Food Network last week.
CNN finished No. 17 among cable stations during primetime last week amid a news cycle that included the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the ensuing manhunt for his killer, a slew of news related to President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, the fallout from President Biden announcing he would pardon his son, Hunter, and a rebel alliance’s challenging Bashar al-Assad in Syria.
The Food Network now has a higher viewer rating than CNN.
Fake news has ran its course

CNN’s primetime lineup of “Anderson Cooper 360,” “The Source with Kaitlan Collins” and “CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip” averaged only 367,000 total viewers from 8-11 p.m. during the week of December 2. By comparison, Fox News Channel averaged 2.5 million total primetime viewers during the same period.
Despite the busy news cycle, CNN’s bleak audience was smaller than TNT, Food Network, Freeform, Discovery, INSP, Hallmark Mystery, TLC, TBS, History, HGTV, USA, MSNBC, Paramount, Hallmark Channel, ESPN and Fox News.
As these once-mighty networks continue their steep decline following Republican victories in recent elections (are you tired of winning yet?) one has to wonder how long they can keep afloat before facing significant restructuring or even closure.
🚨🇺🇸CNN LOSES TO… THE FOOD NETWORK?!
CNN is now pulling fewer viewers than people tuning in to watch pasta boil on the Food Network. Their primetime lineup—“Anderson Cooper 360” and “CNN NewsNight”—could only scrape together 367,000 viewers last week. That's right, even… pic.twitter.com/08vXPtp8Oe

With more viewers gravitating towards channels offering entertainment devoid of political bias—or worse yet for these networks—right-leaning alternatives like Fox News and emerging platforms that offer balanced perspectives, CNN and MSNBC’s future looks increasingly grim. Their fall from grace is not just a blow to their viewership numbers but also a testament to their failure to connect with an audience hungry for truth and integrity in reporting.
