How does this keep happening?

NY Post: "CNN posts lowest weekend ratings in key demo in its recorded history."

"How does this keep happening?" Still baffled by falling cable viewership?

On top of that, CNN shot themselves in the foot by deliberately and overtly shifting its news coverage to the right. They did this in order to woo conservative viewers who will never accept news programming that doesn't kiss their boo-boos and make their resentment bubble a friendly place where everyone can be outraged together. The blunder has already cost the mastermind of the switch his job. CNN has not recuperated from it.


Q: Does Rupert Murdoch's New York Post run stories about its own falling circulation, which is now the lowest in its recorded history?

CNN's profits last year were $750 million, a HUGE drop from the previous year's $1.25 billion.

The New York Post's revenue was $161 million.

That isn't the Post's profits... that's the Post's total revenue before expenses.

The paper has been profitable once, for a single year, in the 47 years since Rupert Murdoch bought it. Not a story for the Post?
