Yes, that is a fact in primetime.
CNN is just one of TWO liberal leaning cable networks. So as anyone with an IQ above that of a common garden slugg can readily understand -- that is why their numbers are always lower than FOX (which gets almost ALL conservative viewers)
Thanks largely to adolf trump (and his weak-minded voters), America is more divided, more "tribal" today than anytime the past 150 years. This means, there are two distinct camps: liberal-leaning and conservative leaning.
Conservative leaning people, those who watch cable TV almost all go to the lone conservative-leaning channel, FOX NEWS.
Good for Fox.
Liberal leaning people, have so many more people that they have TWO cable TV channels to choose from: CNN or MSNBC
Thus, Nielsen Ratings -- which does not actually rate the "quality" of any TV show, but rather just counts the number of viewers -- it stand to reason LOGICALLY, that, in effect, the conservative channel will get HALF the American cable TV news viewers, while the TWO liberal-leaning channels have to SPLIT the other half of Americans.
Great for FOX and their advertisers that the liberal viewers are spread out between TWO channels!
Thus, theoretically, FOX programming *should* in all time slots, in every day, and in every week and month, ALWAYS have a higher total number of viewers in EVERY SLOT and for every demoggraphic.
They should in theory.
But somehow they manage to phuck that up from time to time, but if run properly it should NEVER OCCUR!
Still, when we add up all the numbers of how many Americans prefer to watch CONSERVATIVE cable news tv (FOX)
and all the Americans who prefer to watch LIBERAL-LEANING cable news tv (CNN + MSNBC) it is almost always the same week after week for over 313 striaght weeks now: MORE AMERICANS PREFER TO TUNE IN TO LIBERAL-LEANING CABLE NEWS TV (CNN + MSNBC) THAN TO CONSERVATIVE CABLE NEWS TV (FOX)
This too is a FACT!
