Yes, if you want to be poorly informed, remain in an echo chamber of ignorance and stupidity, MSNBC and CNN are your networks. Apparently, millions have moved on.

MSNBC, CNN see dramatic declines in viewership — while Fox News continues to dominate: Nielsen

MSNBC and CNN suffered staggering losses in viewership over the past year — while Donald Trump’s ascendancy supercharged Fox News in the cable news ratings war.

The left-leaning networks — which will both be spun off by their respective parent companies — suffered year-over-year declines in all major metrics for the second quarter compared to the same period last year, according to the latest Nielsen data, which was reported by AdWeek.

Comcast-owned MSNBC, with its rabid anti-Trump lineup of anchors, drew an average 1.008 million primetime viewers from April to June, a year-over-year decline of 15%, Nielsen figures show.

In the the advertiser-covered 25-to-54 demographic, primetime viewership plunged 20%, to 91,000 compared to last year — despite star anchor Rachel Maddow returning to full-time duty during the first 100 days of the Trump administration.

Jen Psaki took over her 9 p.m. primetime slot Tuersdays through Fridays midway through the second quarter ratings period.

The exodus of eyeballs was even worse during the day, with total viewership plummeting 26%, to an average of 596,000, and 31%, to 57,000, in the key demo compared to the same quarter last year.

CNN, which has languished in last place despite paying anchor Anderson Cooper a reported $18 million in salary, averaged 538,000 total viewers in primetime for the three-month period and 105,000 in the demo, according to Nielsen

Year-over-year, the network saw declines of 13% in total viewers in primetime and a 15% drop in the 25-54 demo.

The cable news pioneer, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, dropped 14% in total viewers during the day, to an average of 406,000, and 16% in the demo, to 71,000, year-over-year, according to Nielsen.

CNN consistently..... CONSISTENTLY....has guests with conservative views.

You should try actually watching the channel.
 
I couldn't possibly name all of the guests. That's foolish.

Just name one or two then. Easy peasy.

If you have any interest in being informed, you can watch CNN and see for yourself.

I have. I became aware that watching CNN makes you less informed and more ignorant. Brainless leftist hacks like you think it empowers their stupidity.

You should try responding in a way that doesn't make you sound like an angry 4th grader.

You should try not projecting and lying so much.

Projection

The process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another.
 
CNN and MSNBC realize they are niche players, and take full advantage of that. FoxNews thinks having 0.2% of the market makes them dominate... It is just sad.
Wow, Wally the genius, did you pull that 0.2% out of your crusty ass cheeks or just make it up to feel better about your sources of marching orders? Reality check: Fox crushed it in Q2 2025 with 1.63 million daily viewers, snagging a 62% audience share while MSNBC and CNN are eating dust at 596,000 and 406,000. That’s not a “niche” you fucking stupid shithead drone, it’s complete domination. Maybe next time, try harder instead of drooling out random decimals pretending you understand how to use a calculator.
