The Dworkin Report: Congrats to CNN for Lowest-Rated Week in Decades

The Dworkin Report - Congrats to CNN for Lowest-Rated Week in Decades

It’s well deserved

Scott Dworkin
Dec 07, 2024

The exodus from corporate media continues, as CNN just had their worst week in ratings since 2001. For ages 25-54, it was the lowest number of viewers they’ve had in almost 30 years.

During the week of November 25th, CNN averaged only about 260,000 viewers per day, losing out to channels like Bravo, and The Food Network.

After CNN spent years relentlessly attacking President Biden and VP Harris, while sanewashing Trump and his cult members, this ratings disaster is well-deserved.

We will never forget when CNN’s headlines were so hideous, we were forced to run massive public pressure campaigns demanding they change those bogus titles—which they quickly did, multiple times.

Or when they knowingly put a Trump supporter on an “undecided” voter panel. That was horrible.

the other panel members, it makes for a frustrating, unwatchable experience.

An honest, respectful debate among people of differing views could be valuable and interesting.

Watching people get shouted down and insulted when they try to state their case is a waste of everybody's time.

And the MAGA know it. They appear on these programs with the intention of sabotaging the debate and driving away viewers who aren't rabid MAGA. Just like they join our government just to sabotage it.

The cult was not going to switch to FOX-lite. If anything they were migrating to places like OAN and NewsMax because they thought FOX was moving too far to left!
