CNN, just like a bunch of other liberal news networks, has been hemorrhaging viewership at lightning speed since Donald Trumpβs electoral victory in November.
The Cable News Network (CNN) has seen overall prime-time viewership plummet by 45% scooping up only 394,000 total viewers since November 5, according to Nielsen Media Research. When it comes to the prime 25-to-54 age demographic, CNN suffered a 52% decline, with just an average audience of 77,000 having tuned in after Trumpβs win.
Overall, CNN witnessed its worst-ever performance among viewers in this key demographic. Audiences feel that CNN βdidnβt meet the markβ when covering Trump during the campaign, The Washington Post cited one journalist as saying.
