"CNN Drops To Fourth Place In Prime Time Friday Night, Behind Newsmax"

Just days after CNN scored a rare first-place finish in prime time with its town hall session featuring former President Donald Trump, the network dropped into fourth place Friday night, trailing conservative network Newsmax. CNN delivered an average total audience of 335,000 viewers in prime Friday, just behind Newsmaxs 357,000 viewers. Fox News finished first in prime with 1.44 million viewers, and MSNBC was second overall with 1.084 million viewers.

Among viewers 25-54, the demographic group most valued by advertisers, CNN climbed to third place, with an average audience of 87,000 viewers. Fox News was first in the key demo with 109,000 viewers, followed by MSNBC (98,000 viewers). Newsmax was fourth with 45,000 viewers.

Each of CNNs prime time hours trailed the competition on Newsmax Friday, with Anderson Cooper 360 delivering a total audience of 447,000 viewers at 8 p.m. ET, taking fourth place behind Fox News Channels Fox News Tonight (1.302 million viewers), MSNBCs All In with Chris Hayes (1.076 million viewers), and Newsmaxs Eric Bolling (467,000 viewers). At 9 p.m. ET, FNCs Hannity was first with 1.606 million viewers, followed by MSNBCs Alex Wagner Tonight (1.207 million viewers), Newsmaxs Chris Plante (325,000 viewers) and CNNs The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper (293,000 viewers)."

Friday is known for slow news days so not really sure that Newsmax is consistently above CNN in ratings. CNN deserves to fall face flat after the Trump townhall coddling .

Fascist propaganda will soon be the top 2 news sources in America.

Fucking yikes.

How embarrassing.

Newsmax (esp during the 2020 election) was the fakest of all fake news

Oh come, you guys. It's not a competition. Lmao

I can't decide if the new owner wanted to change CNN to MAGA or just to sabotage it and kill it off.
If the latter, they have succeeded

Yeah, airing that Trump rally (because that's what it was) caused many to leave and those that came for the rally just felt strange afterwards like it wasn't fasch enough, so this tracks.
