John King laments: Fewer watching CNN
May 23, 2012 -- 1:29 PM

The viewer plunge at CNN, which just recorded its lowest ratings in 20 years, is presenting a “challenge” to the Cable News Network to fight back against scrappier and more provocative cable networks, according to network anchor John King.

In a revealing moment at the annual Cable Show, this year in Boston, C-SPAN’s Steve Scully, hosting a media panel, asked King: “Who’s your audience John King, who’s watching CNN?” King, to laughter, fessed, “Well, fewer people at the moment, which is part of our challenge. And you can laugh all you want. It’s a challenge.”

The shrinking viewership is exactly because of the kind of reporting in the OP's linked article.

If that were true then Fox News would have been forced off the air years ago. They (Fox) have no competition and have a monopoly on the far right wing viewership. CNN has a plethora of legitimate news competition. I seriously doubt CNN has lost any viewers to Fox! I watch and read all major US networks and websites and a few international ones as well to get a more balanced view of the world. I'll have to admit there's not another network like Fox!!!

There are a lot of people in denial on this forum. Don't forget the last election!

I saw this article on CNN today. It got me thinking about a lot of things. Is this also a problem for this forum as well? Are most of the members here "white, aging, and dying off"? I'm asking this as a rhetorical question as I don't want to break the forum rules. What might the make up of this forum be 5, 10, or even 20 years from now? Will the forum just die too when there are no longer enough people willing to bash the Dems or anyone else who is not conservative, or will the forum evolve into a place where gun loving self defense enthusiast of all political persuasions are welcome? It will be interesting to see over time...
