Two of the worst fake news purveyors, MSNBC and CNN, both suffered ratings bloodbaths since Donald Trump won his historic victory last week. And it couldn’t happen to any more serving networks.
Let’s take the extremist, left-wing MSNBC. Take a look at this delicious drop in ratings:
Major Nielsen ratings plunge at MSNBC since Trump won, practically every day since. Just one example – 10/30 Wednesday vs Fri 11/8 –
Morning Joe 1st hour – down 39.6%
Morning Joe 2d hour – down 36.9%
Andrea Mitchell – down 39.7%
Ari Melber – down 49.6%
Joy Reid’s Reidout – down 54.6%
All-in w Chris Hayes – down 47.2%
Alex Wagner Tonight- down 53.6%
Lawrence O’Donnell – down 60.6%
Stephanie Ruhle – down 67%

It was bad for CNN, too. As Mediaite reported, “Fox News was up some 60 percent year over year for the day, while MSNBC and CNN were down 23 and 40 percent – respectively.”
The site added: “Thursday’s total average daily viewers on Fox News came in at 2.6 million and 375,000 in the coveted 25-54 age demographic, according to Nielsen data…. Meanwhile, MSNBC brought in only 596,000 total viewers and 71,000 in the demo. CNN brought in 419,000 total viewers on Thursday and 91,000 viewers in the demo.”
This was a literal nose-dive crash for MSNBC and CNN.
Meanwhile, news is already breaking that CNN bosses are looking to start a different kind of bloodbath by firing hundreds of employees, including some of their top talent.
