CNN is considered so biased by the American people, more television viewers turn to the History Channel’s “Ancient Aliens” for the truth than they tune into Anderson Cooper and company.
The left-leaning network has been seemingly on the attack against President Donald Trump and his supporters since the 2016 presidential election — and the American people are sick of it.
Among their top cable news competitors, CNN was humiliated by Fox News and, to a lesser extent, MSNBC.
Fox News averaged more than twice CNN’s primetime ratings.
According to the latest Nielsen Media Research television ratings, between Aug. 6 and Aug. 12, 2018, Fox News average 2.18 million primetime viewers. MSNBC was a distant second with 1.75 million primetime viewers.
CNN was seventh among cable news providers, averaging just 992,000 primetime viewers during the week. That’s less than HGTV, USA Network, and TBS Network.
CNN’s primetime lineup couldn’t even compete with The History Channel shows like “Ancient Aliens” — which explores entertaining conspiracy theories like aliens constructing the pyramids.
That’s right, folks. More Americans believe that green spacemen build the Mayan temples than believe Anderson Cooper or Chris Cuomo.
Can you blame them?
It’s not just primetime that’s seeing CNN suffer, either.
According to The Daily Caller, CNN finished 6th in total daily viewers as well. Besides MSNBC and Fox News, CNN also gets less attention than kids shows on Nickelodeon and reruns on the network Investigation Discovery.
Yikes. It seems that being “fake news” just isn’t very good for ratings.
