The liberal media outlets CNN and MSNBC lost all of their credibility on Election Day last month. Heading into that fateful day, the two networks had spent months pushing the false narrative that Kamala Harris was such a viable candidate that there was no way that she could lose.
Imagine the shock of CNN and MSNBC’s loyal viewers when, contrary to what they were told would happen, Harris lost in both the Electoral College and the popular vote. On top of that, Democrats lost both the House and the Senate.
The election results proved that the liberal pundits on CNN and MSNBC have lost all touch with reality. That’s why it should come as no surprise that in the weeks since then, ratings for both networks have plummeted.
In contrast, ratings for the conservative network Fox News have been soaring. It seems American viewers now know exactly where to go if they want reporting that is actually accurate.
From The Washington Examiner:
Fox News notched the top viewership spot among cable networks in the fourth quarter of 2024, making it cable’s most-watched network for nine years straight.The network saw double-digit gains in its prime time and total day viewers compared to the year prior, including the key 25-54 age demographic, according to Nielsen data shared with the Washington Examiner. Fox News also held 55% of the cable news prime-time audience and 53% of total day viewership, notching its highest share of the audience since 2015.
When comparing Fox’s fourth quarter viewership to other cable news networks, it drew 73% of the cable news audience in prime time, while MSNBC saw a 61% decline at 54,000 viewers in the key 25-54-year-old demographic. Similarly, CNN lost 52% of its key prime-time demographic with an average of 75,000 viewers.
Boom!
Fox News CEO Celebrates
Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott responded to this by taking a victory lap on behalf of her network.
“Throughout coverage of a tumultuous political cycle, wars in the Middle East and major breaking news events, millions of viewers across the political spectrum continued to tune into Fox News Channel for our unrivaled reporting and analysis,” Scott said.
“I am extremely proud of our entire team for proving once again why we are the nation’s most-watched network as we outpaced the competition in covering the stories that mattered most to everyday Americans,” she added.
The liberals at CNN and MSNBC only have themselves to blame for this. For years, they’ve focused all of their energy on relentlessly attacking Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, they’ve been consistently ignoring the many failures of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other Democrats. This gave their own viewers a completely false perception of how the 2024 election would shake out.
When Harris and her fellow Democrats got trounced on Election Day, it showed even the most loyal of CNN and MSNBC viewers that these networks simply can’t be trusted.
If CNN and MSNBC want to boost viewership, perhaps they should consider toning down their radical liberal biases. Since they likely won’t be doing that anytime soon, you can expect the ratings for CNN and MSNBC to keep plummeting in the future!
