I guess the left doesn’t care much about politics or getting news anymore after Trumps triumphant win. And it shows especially when it comes to ratings. The top dog has always been Fox News, which to this day after the election, has ratings skyrocketed to over 60%. CNN and MSNBC on the other hand has lost a tremendous amount. Mediaite has reported that MSNBC has lost 23% of viewership over a year and CNN losing 40%. This means both networks average ratings are sadly under a million.
It actually gets worse for both of them, primarily when it comes to primetime numbers. CNN saw a primetime decline of 30% while MSNBC saw a decline of a whopping 54%. WOW! Sucks for MSNBC. But they did manage to beat CNN for the first time during election night ratings. But still none of these platforms can compete with FOX NEWS. As a side note, one of the reasons both networks managed to get any ratings over a million barley was because it was all anti-Trump which made the leftist happy.
According to gatewaypundit.com, every one of their major shows are down. Take a look:
