Overall, they improved one position to 12th place, but are down to 19th in the key demographic with average overall viewership falling to 732,000

What is their end game exactly? Continue down the same path to "enlighten" their audience? I really don't get it b/c they haven't changed sh*t in their line-up nor who they have on air since Trump announced his intentions to run.

I think the word is insanity

Eventually it will be like a cross between local cable access and local talk radio.

FNN: Tom in Berkeley, you are on .

TOM: I'm wondering what I should set on fire to protest Trump and Putin's stealing of America from the workers?

FNN: I'd suggest you burn down the capitalist-owned Subway at 4th and Maple.

FNN: Jatervus in Chicago, you're on.

Jatervus: If I wants to shank a honky, what honky shoulds I shank?

FNN: We suggest your local Republican softball game.
Next caller please.

CNN's ratings are way up and they made a billion dollars in profit in 2016. Their end game is to continue to make money

At this point, you almost have to assume that their end game is simply reporting the news with their bias intact. It appears they don't care whether they continue to be a viable media outlet, as long as they are a liberal media outlet until the bitter end.

Except they aren't. The big three news networks are each seeing double-digit viewership increases.

CNN still lags Fox and MSNBC, but they have higher viewership today than last year, and last year they made a billion in profit.

This has to be wrong. The dems say that CNN is doing better than ever.

Maybe simultaneously, according to the time of the posts, not before...

I stumbled upon that traveling medicine show last evening and the chief charlatan just out and out stated that the citizens in the middle of the country did not have the understanding of DJT that he himself and the others on the dais possessed

unmitigated gall,without a hint of irony, or modesty

in the words of DJT "fake" and "sad"

So you think that will make a billion dollars with average viewers at 792k?

That is about $1200 a viewer.

Hahahahaha

It's always good when VFN is losing money.

I'm guessing they're in a holding pattern because of the Time Warner / AT&T deal.

Definitely don't watch FNN.
It's bad enough listening to local stations parroting sound bites from their national MSM-FNN counterparts.

When Rachael Maddow has the top rated show on cable news TV it's hard to talk fake news.

Hannity and Maddow are probably the worst at airing fake news.

CNN's biggest problem is it is not as entertaining. None of the networks are real news anymore. They are just entertainment.

So more people are watching the news, but they are still choosing other networks over CNN. Congrats
