| CNN Scores Impressive Ratings Victory Over Fox News |
| 2016-05-03 |
| CNN racked up another major rating victory in April, posting the top ratings for cable news in prime time. CNN’s success over Fox News marks the fifth time over the past eight months that CNN has topped Fox in Monday-Sunday prime time among adults 25-54. The two have split the eight months in the Monday-Friday prime time duel. The success of CNN carried over into its daytime programming. It defeated MSNBC for the 22nd straight month in Total Day (among both total viewers and among adults 25-54) and in prime time (among 25-54). CNN’s prime time shows averaged 929,000 viewers in the 25-54 age group. Fox averaged 707,000 viewers. MSNBC 388,000. Fox won the race for overall viewers, with an average of 3.25 million viewers between 8-11 p.m. ET. CNN placed second overall with 2.62 million viewers. MSNBC was third with 1.48 million viewers. |

| #4 CNN is actually reporting in a less biased way than before. Fox is openly whoring for Trump. Actions have consequences. |

| #2 Yeah, but Kelly Ripa wants Anderson Cooper for her show on ABC. What's gonna happen then? |

| #1 I haven't watched O' Reilly or Hannity in many years, and Megyn went from intelligent discourse to "Trump Victim" nonstop. Is it any wonder their numbers are down? |
