The death of the mainstream media is coming much sooner than you think. With the start of the new year, CNN saw a 90% drop in overall viewership and an 86% decline in the key 25-54 age demographic.
While these are shocking numbers, there are a few contributing factors. The 90% drop comes from comparing CNN’s viewership on the week of January 3rd last year to that same week this year. CNN saw a massive spike in coverage at the beginning of last year due to the infamous January 6th Capitol riots. However, their popularity was short-lived.
Democrats in D.C. and leftist news anchors drew as much attention as possible to the anniversary of January 6th. But, the American people no longer trust the left or the mainstream media. On the anniversary of January 6th, the media ratings completely flipped in favor of conservatives. Fox News received the lion’s share of viewership among all news outlets for their coverage of the “insurrection” anniversary.
