Someone here said CNN would crush FOX

[Sangersteve]

Still waiting.

Far-left CNN’s highest rated show, Anderson Cooper 360, came in a humiliating 24th for April, behind every single program on Fox News that airs after 6 a.m.
With 1.1 million viewers, Cooper was also the only CNN show that managed to attract more than a million viewers. Erin Burnett, the second-highest rated show on CNN, came in 27th place and drew only 965,00 total viewers. Jake Tapper, who is being sold as some kind of superstar, slid face first into 32nd place with only 927,000 viewers.

For the third month in a row, CNN’s New Day is the lowest-rated show in all of cable news (that airs after 6 a.m.), placing 41st with a scant 625,000 viewers. The show, co-hosted by anti-Trump activists Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota, only barely beat Fox & Friends First (#42 with 572,000 viewers), which airs at 4 a.m.!

New Day was slaughtered by its direct timeslot competition, Fox & Friends (#14, with 1.53 million viewers) and Morning Joe (#26, with 1.07 million viewers).

Sean Hannity is again the king of cable news with 3.264 million viewers. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow landed in second place with 3 million. Tucker Carlson (2.6 million), Laura Ingraham (2.5 million), and Lawrence O’Donnell (2.3 million) round out the top five.

In all of basic cable — meaning in competition with every cable network, not just cable news — Fox News was once again the most-watched, with an average of 2.4 million primetime viewers and 1.4 million total day viewers. In the all-important primetime hours, MSNBC came in third place. CNN thudded into eighth.

CNN ranked a smidge better in the 18-54 age demo, but that is all about advertising rates, not bragging rates.

Oh yes..Brian Williams..”truth teller”..definitely.

I think that is basicly a fake news Breitbart story. It covers up what is the real story, that Fox cable news is loosing share big time.

Before returning stateside last week to anchor her 7 p.m. “Outfront” program on CNN, Burnett spent the weekend doing research on the ground in the Middle East. On Tuesday, she wrapped an important interview with Qatar’s U.S. ambassador with just 90 seconds to go before the start of her show — only to find she had to juggle multiple breaking news items about critical national issues, including former FBI director James Comey’s coming testimony before Congress. The frenzy of activity seems to be working: Burnett’s viewership in the demo that advertisers covet for news, adults 25-54, more than doubled in May.
...the longtime market leader — Fox News — is vulnerable after a year of turmoil on both sides of the camera.

Some things Breitbart neglected to mention.
