CNN Chairman and CEO Mark Thompson has made it clear that the network must pivot from its Trump-centric coverage, issuing a stark warning to staff in a recent all-hands meeting. "We cannot become consumed by Trump drama for the next four years. There are other important stories to tell, and we owe it to our viewers to cover them," he said, according to Puck.

The directive comes amidst a ratings freefall that has pushed the network into crisis mode. With CNN's viewership in the critical 25-54 demographic hitting historic lows, Thompson is urging his team to rethink their approach. "It's clear that audiences are sick of the way the media covers politics," Thompson added, as cited by Daily Mail.

Trump Coverage Fatigue and the 'Trump Slump'​

CNN's struggles reflect a broader challenge facing left-leaning networks like MSNBC, which have also seen dramatic declines in viewership following Donald Trump's election victory. According to the New York Post, CNN's ratings during the week of November 6-13 fell to an average of just 399,000 viewers. In comparison, Fox News averaged 2.23 million viewers during the same period.

Media observers have dubbed this trend the "Trump slump." Joe Concha of the Post noted, "Following Trump's decisive victory, media observers expected a ratings boost similar to 2016. Instead, we've seen the opposite: The Donald Drain."

For CNN, the numbers are grim. In the key 25-54 demographic, CNN averaged only 61,000 viewers the Tuesday after the election—the lowest since June 2000. "This marks a critical moment for the network," Thompson reportedly told staff. He warned that unless CNN evolves, it risks permanently losing its audience.

Damn, people really don't like to be lied to on a regular basis....Who knew?

Maybe Musk can do a package deal.....MS-XTV and MAGA News Network.
