CNN just had it's worst month for viewers in 4 years

[Pogo]

CNN doesn't care. Well their ownerships doesn't care. As long as they promote the Far Left Democrat agenda they are fine with the ratings.

Nobody in the history of broadcasting ever made a dime off an ideology. The entire point of a TV channel at all is to hypnotize the viewer into a mush so they can sell them processed food. Because the processed food monger gives them money to do it.

Learn how the world WORKS.

The large corps and monied individuals that own these networks like Comcast (NBC/MSNBC), Time Warner (CNN), Disney (ABC/ESPN) etc don't care about making money from those propaganda outlets. Their corporations make more than enough money. All they care about is for the CNN's of the world to spread the Far Left Globalist agenda. That is the real world.

Absolutely ludicrous. EVERYONE, meaning EVERY ONE who broadcasts on commercial media does so for one reason, TO MAKE MONEY, PERIOD. There is ***NO*** such thing, anywhere, any time, as running all the expenses of a broadcast, just for jollies. If that were the case ----------------------------------------------- THERE WOULDN'T BE COMMERCIALS.



Good fucking GOD you people are dense.

 

[Pogo]

The numbers are the numbers, partisan spin & deflection notwithstanding.

And they're of any use at all if you're in the business of buying or selling commercial time.

Otherwise --------- pffffffffffffffft.

The numbers tell us how many people are actually watching the program or in this case channel. The lower it goes the less people are watching meaning people do NOT like the program or network. Pretty simple concept even a 5 year old can grasp it.

Clearly you know jack friggety shit about how commercial broadcasting works.

Ever heard the expression "if it bleeds it leads"? WHY do you think that is? ATTENTION, that's why. If you lead your local newscast not with the dry details of what went on with your city council meeting but with the armed robbery in a neighborhood you never heard of, suddenly you're INVESTED. And if you're INVESTED you're paying ATTENTION to see how it all comes out. And if you're paying ATTENTION then we can sell you Vi@gra.

**THAT** is what ratings are for. And Alex John Brinkley Jones knows this perfectly well, which is why he pulls shit like this

THAT is attention-whoring. And he's doing that so he can sell you goat testicle pills. Both those pills and this story are the product of a FUCKING DISHONEST HACK. K? Hope I cleared that up for you.

ANYONE who's ever been in smelling distance of commercial broadcasting knows this.

Nice try, pogo, but you can't spin your way out of this. CNN doesn't report news, they report propaganda, and people are tired of 24/7 propaganda. All they do is take turns bashing Trump and accuse him of various crimes that are later disproven. They have no credibility and that's why nobody is watching them. Stop making a fool of yourself trying to defend them.

Sorry Schmuck but none of that figures in garnering ATTENTION. In purported "news" media, ATTENTION is captured by sensationalizing, dramatizing, making mountains out of molehills. If pseudonews entity A draws more flies than pseudonews entity B, what that means is that A sold more BULLSHIT than B did.

Besides which ---- if nobody's watching CNN then how do you even know what they do? Trapped yourself, nice job.

 

[Likkmee]

What's a CNN ??? Electric car or something ?

 

[Pogo]

Third thread at least by morons who have no clue in the world what "ratings" means. The simple fact is ----- maybe too simple even for you ----- that ratings are relevant only to those buying or selling advertising. They have no other function of meaning, least of all to the general public.

How are the ratings for fake newly-discovered photos of a political convention on wet trolley tracks in December, DUMBASS?

Well using YOUR argument then CNN should cancel their News programs because ACCORDING to the findings they are NOT creating revenue.

If you ever see a commercial on CNN ------------ that means CNN is creating revenue. Doesn't get much simpler than that. Nobody runs ads for free.


News is not a way to create ATTENTION. News is expensive to do. You have to fly people around, house them, send camera crews, open foreign bureaus. All those Huntley-Brinkley-Cronkheit evening news broadcasts were loss leaders, subsidized by the Gilligan's Islands and Hawaii Five-Os that followed them. And the only reason the Alphabets even bothered to run those loss leaders was so that their affiliates, come license renewal time, could point to those news broadcasts and say "see? we're doing our public service" ---- which is what they're supposed to be doing as a condition of we the people granting them that license .... for free, while they rake in advertising revenue.

How'd you like to open a store, and the town gives you your storefront for free? Sweet deal huh.

CNN upset that model by creating a "modern" service where one didn't have to wait for 6pm and thus milked an unmilked audience. Then Fox Noise took it a step further, plopping talking heads in a studio to talk about the news rather than report it, converting news into soap opera. Much cheaper to plop talking heads into a garishly colored kindergarten-motif studio with hair-on-fire chyrons running by selling fear. Have the male talking heads pound on the table and have the female ones wear three-inch skirts, and you've got an audience of zombies ready to be sold Vye-yagra.

The CNNs and MSNBCs to their discredit then jumped down the same sewer, which is why we now have news theater instead of news. In every case, milking emotions through drama stories.

There is no emotion mining in real news. It's dry, it's factual, it doesn't create investment.


This is not "my argument" btw ----- it's exactly how commercial broadcasting WORKS. Don't ever delude yourself that that TV or radio station is there to inform or entertain. They are there to milk your money, period.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Again they lost 26 percent a quarter of their viewers and you claim it means nothing, you are delusional.

It means nothing in terms of :"FEEWINGS". It means something in terms of ad revenue, as a result of what it means in terms of manipulation psychology.

Basically it means if you've been advertising on CNN you're getting a bargain. If you don't happen to be in the business of advertising, then it means the following:

CNN Just Had Its Worst Month For Viewers in 4 Years
CNN just had its worst month for ratings in four years as the network lost 26 per cent of viewers compared to a year ago.

Yes even morons at CNN are getting hammered that's what happens when you lie to the population for decades u dumb asses.
When you suck you suck.

They should try reporting the actual news and stop with the Trump bashing 24/7.

 

[Oldstyle]

To be honest I think it has less to do with popularity and a whole lot to do with the people who usually watch CNN not tuning in because the Mueller Report didn't give them what they desperately wanted. The same thing happened to CNN's ratings following Trump's election. The hard core left that watches them because they only want to hear news that conforms to their view of the world stops watching because they don't like the news that they're hearing. I think if you checked you'd see that CNN's ratings were probably up following the midterm elections because liberals wanted to gloat. Now they don't have much to gloat about...so they're tuning out.

Just my opinion though...

Oh FUCKING BULLSHIT you worthless sack of ignorant cow flop.

Ratings have nothing to do with credibility DUMBASS. Ratings measure ATTENTION. That's it -- ATTENTION. Attention can be garnered by booga-booga stories about how the blacks/immigrants are coming to get you (Fox Noise) booga-booga stories about how the hurricanes and tornadoes are coming to get you (Weather Channel), booga-booga stories about who the daddy is (whatever that show is), booga-booga stories about naked people stranded on an island, whatever works on gullible assholes like YOU. And that ATTENTION is then used to sell commercials, which means telling you to go buy shit you don't need.

THAT'S ALL IT IS. A giant meat tenderizer softening up your brain so that you'll obediently go out and buy that monster pickup truck capable of towing an asteroid.

Broadcast ratings are used to determine how much thirty seconds of ad time is worth. That is the one, and the only, thing that they do. PERIOD. They have nothing to do with "approving" or "disapproving" anything in the world. The more booga-booga it is, the more ATTENTION you pay, and the more shit they sell. So all you're demonstrating here is that the particular outlet wasn't as booga-booga as others were.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY your Alex John Brinkley Jones clown is constantly coming up with booga-booga stores, STUPID. That's why he's tearing his clothes off and pounding his desk and selling you goat testicle pills, BECAUSE IT GETS YOUR ATTENTION.

Fucking IDIOT.

Hmmm...another fuckin’ Pogo screed.

You don’t need those new tires even though your’s are bald. You’re only buying them because an ad convinced you to part with your well earned money.

Just my opinion though...

Reporting news, or pseudo-news is not at all required for ratings though. EVERYTHING in commercial broadcasting gets a ratings assessment whether it's fake wrestling, (real) sports events, selling jewelry, onstage paternity tests, what the weather is, rummaging through somebody's abandoned storage locker --- EVERYTHING. And they all get them for the same reason: to establish how much they can sell 30 seconds of commercial time for.

You don't need to "agree" or "disagree" with what the weather is, who da baby daddy is, what's in the storage locker or how those naked people stranded on an island are going to survive. But they all INVEST you with an emotional attachment, the purpose of which is to keep you hypnotized long enough to sell you a visit to Barfer King.

There's nothing about "news" in any of that because there doesn't need to be. If the unwashed masses quit watching the idea of naked people forced to eat bugs on an island, it doesn't mean they have come to "disagree" with the idea of naked people forced to eat bugs on an island ---- it means it's no longer pulling their emotional strings. It means they're not as invested as they used to be.

That's exactly why they all use teasers -- "coming up we'll tell you how your house could get swept away by a tsunami next Thursday, but first this word about deodorant". They're locking you in so they can make more money. That's all it is.

This is all cynical mass psychology. Always has been.

Yeah I did need new tires, recently, and I got 'em because I needed them. Nobody had to convince me I needed tires, or that I needed a particular brand.

You don't need to be told to drink water. Your body tells you that. But you do need to be sold the idea of drinking Coke. For that matter, every time you ingest a Coke ad, Pepsi beneifts, and vice versa. Because both of them just sold you the idea of drinking carbonated sugar water. Now that they've planted that bacteria the only question to be settled is which one. Nobody's body actually needs carbonated sugar water. That idea had to be planted in your head --- enter advertising.

Advertising is the process of convincing masses to buy something they don't need. If they do need it, they already know that.

It is worse now that kids grow up with their noses glued to youtube and the internet. They are sucked into a world that is 90% garbage. I think we all are. The internet is an alluring place. Someone posted awhile back that IQs are actually going down. I tell my son not to drink or do drugs, because he needs to keep those last two brain cells rubbing together.

 

[MarcATL]

If it weren't for conservatives watching CNN 24/7, I'd never know what was going on there.

Ditto.

I simply don't watch that God-forsaken channel, but self-professed conservatives can't seem to stop watching it.
