Since the 2024 election, ratings at the far left cable news networks CNN and MSNBC are way down. Joy Reid is even looking at a potential pay cut to stay on the air. It’s easy to see why.
These networks told their faithful viewers that there was no way Trump could win, right up until they were forced to admit on election night that Trump had not only won, but that he had won big.
Their viewers felt betrayed, and a massive number of them simply walked away and have not returned.
MSNBC is down more than 50 percent. CNN is down 45 percent. FOX News is the only cable news network that has gained viewers in the same period.

The Associated Press reported on this today:…..
CNN and MSNBC are both slipping into the danger zone.
Even these ratings make it hard for cable providers to keep MSNBC and CNN even with the forced cable bundle. https://t.co/rWvIrF1hNd
