Ratings Disaster: MSNBC & CNN Bleed Numbers so Badly, Time to Call a Paramedic

The ratings are in — and you three fans of MSNBC are going to be extremely disappointed. As for you airport managers, you might want to look into cutting CNN 24/7, your trapped customers are not happy about a news network as popular as the TSA.
Newsbusters reported that CNN and MSNBC have lost nearly half their total viewers since last November (and their numbers are even worse in the key demo of 25-54 year olds):
Data released Tuesday show CNN shedding 48 percent of total viewers since last November and MSNBC dropping 45 percent.
The numbers were even worse in the all important demographic of people aged 25 to 54 as CNN’s ratings dropped 59 percent and MSNBC’s 52 percent. [...]
However, Fox News didn’t see close to these losses. In total day, FNC is only down 18 percent since last November and 30 percent in the demo.
Every single one of these confabulations was called out years ago in New Media and people were told specifically why they could not be true. It’s not because people are mean that they called them out, it’s just that they know better. Obviously, a lot of MSNBC and CNN viewers did not.
