At least, for now.
CNN reportedly wrapped up 2024 with the lowest audience numbers in its history. This is despite election years usually drawing more audience to news outlets in general.
From December 26, 2023, through December 15, 2024, CNN averaged just 93,000 viewers in the key 25-54 demographic and 488,000 total viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research as reported by the Washington Examiner. This trailed Fox News, which dominated with 1.46 million total viewers.
The poor performance follows disappointing election night coverage, where CNN drew 5.1 million viewers—a massive 44 percent drop from its 2020 election coverage. In comparison, Fox News attracted 13.6 million viewers during the same event.
Walkaway: At MSNBC, things are so bad that Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle are facing pay cuts

Holy Crap, the only thing less watched is the CBC. But CNN doesn’t cost US taxpayers $1,400,000,000
The only people watching CNN and MSNBC are airport TV’s and MAGA people clipping CNN and MSNBC
That’s what happens when people figure out that every story on Donald Trump for the last 9 years has been a lie. CNN is totally leftist political and it will carry that title to the grave. They weren’t happy being the first and largest news network. They had to start driving the agenda towards communism and perversion. If you watch CNN and don’t believe you are a communist pervert you are a delusional communist pervert.
When I was stuck in a few US airports a couple of years back, the videos were all on CNN.
Hope that has changed! (I suppose Fox is not an alternative…)
It’s amazing how low you can go when you go low.
LOfrigg’nL Tnx JM – needed that.
CNN stopped reporting the news decades ago. I still got a kick out of little anderson bashing trump during his entire first term. I guess he needed another bone to pick
Can we git Joe Rogan’s opinion on this?
What happens when your stock in trade are lies.
I’m surprised that this site didn’t mention CNNs fake “rescue” of a Syrian “prisoner”, who turned out to be a torturer and a war criminal. CNN was actively engaged in treason.
You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all the time.
They pay Joy Reid??!!
Yes, to show the world what batshit crazy looks like.
They, CNN,MSNBC and the like are going to be saved by giving some of the most virulent hosts a pay cut.
Okay.
How many viewers are airports and offices?
H
The cut in the white woman’s salary (Maddow) is higher than the black woman’s entire salary. Whatever happened to pay equity? Shouldn’t they all be paid the same?
One’s more outwardly Lesbian identifiable. Joy’s going to have to roll up a pack of cigarettes in her sleeve and get a bigger kayak rack for the Subaru if she wants to run with the big dogs.
