CNN Plunges Behind History Channel, Obscure Western Network In Prime Time Ratings​


Ratings-challenged CNN’s total viewership in prime time last week lagged behind the History Channel and an obscure cable network — founded by televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker — that plays Western TV shows and films, according to the latest figures released by Nielsen.

The “most trusted name in news” — which recently hired former New York Times and BBC boss Mark Thompson as its CEO — had an average of 538,000 nightly viewers in the 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. block during the seven-day period from Jan. 15 until Jan. 21, according to the most recent data compiled by Nielsen.

CNN not only finished behind rivals Fox and MSNBC, but was the 10th most-watched channel on cable, getting beat by Hallmark, The History Channel and INSP, a South Carolina-based channel founded in the late 1970s by the Christian televangelists.

CNN Makes Drastic Cut As Ratings Slump Takes Its Toll: REPORT​


CNN is reportedly making drastic changes as a ratings slump continues to take its toll on the network, and one morning show left over from the Chris Licht era is getting the ax.

“CNN This Morning” hosts Poppy Harlow and Phil Mattingly will reportedly take on a new role at the network, though it’s unclear what that role would be. Kasie Hunt, who currently hosts the morning show beginning at 5:00 a.m., will move into hosting a shorter version of “CNN This Morning” that will run from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., according to Mediaite. Page Six is also reporting that the morning show will be sent to the chopping block. (RELATED: Start Your Fun Friday By Cry-Laughing At CNN’s Most Recent Ratings)

CNN News Central, which currently runs after “CNN This Morning” beginning at 9:00 a.m., will move to the new slot of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., according to the report.

The History Channel and INSP, a cable network that mostly shows old western movies, beat CNN in its mid-January ratings. CNN’s “Laura Coats Show” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris garnered just 72,000 viewers in the key 25-54 demographic, according to the New York Post.


 

CNN Promotes Reporter Who Wrote Story Characterizing Hunter’s Laptop As ‘Russian Disinfo’​

CNN promoted Natasha Bertrand, a former Politico reporter who characterized the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop as “Russian disinfo” in an article from October 2020.

CNN announced Bertrand’s promotion to national security correspondent in a communications post Tuesday. She previously wrote an Oct. 19, 2020, story during her time at Politico titled, “Hunter Biden story is ‘Russian disinfo,’ dozens of former intel official say,'” which outlined how 51 former senior intelligence officials signed a letter stating that the emails belonging to the now-president’s son “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

The letter was later debunked after the Daily Caller New Foundation, The Washington Post and The New York Times confirmed the authenticity of the contents contained on the laptop.

 

Bloodbath at Paramount Claims 800 Jobs Including CBS News Journalists Embroiled In Controversy​


Several CBS News reporters were caught up in layoffs at Paramount Global that claimed 800 jobs, including one who is embroiled in a high-stakes First Amendment fight — and another who has reportedly weathered HR probes over his workplace behavior, The Post has learned.

Catherine Herridge — an award-winning senior correspondent whose First Amendment case is being closely watched by journalists nationwide — was among the hundreds of employees at CBS parent Paramount who got pink slips on Tuesday, sources told The Post.

The carnage provoked outrage from the rank-and-file at CBS, with some focusing their ire on Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish, who pulled down $32 million in total compensation last year despite the company’s ever-shrinking financial profile.

Elsewhere, some suspected the layoffs were more than just cost-cutting. Sources said Herridge had clashed with CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews — a sharp-elbowed executive who was investigated in 2021 over favoritism and discriminatory hiring and management practices, as revealed by The Post.

CBS News has laid off Catherine Herridge, a senior investigative correspondent who is embroiled in a First Amendment case.

Sources said CBS News’ Washington bureau, where Herridge covered national security and intelligence, was hit particularly hard.

Among the other Washington casualties, sources said, was CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues, who had weathered HR probes over his workplace behavior, including an alleged incident in which he dressed down a female colleague in a “20-minute rant.”

When the incident was investigated in 2021, insiders said, Ciprian-Matthews — who insiders have accused of promoting minorities while unfairly sidelining white journalists — attempted to “blame” the female correspondent and eventually gave Pegues a promotion.

Herridge had allegedly clashed with CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, who was the subject of an HR probe in 2021 over discriminatory hiring and management practices.

Herridge may soon be held in contempt of court for not divulging her source for an investigative piece she penned in 2017 when she worked for Fox News and be ordered to personally pay fines that could total as much as $5,000 a day.

A source close to the situation said Fox News is paying for Herridge’s legal counsel.

Herridge’s departure comes as the journalist faces heat for not complying with US District Judge Christopher Cooper’s order to reveal how she learned about a federal probe into a Chinese American scientist who operated a graduate program in Virginia.

The scientist, Yanping Chen, had been investigated for years on suspicions she may have lied on immigration forms related to work on a Chinese astronaut program, according to Herridge’s report.

 

Geraldo Rivera Joins NewsNation Less Than One Year After Fox News Departure​


Long-time news personality Geraldo Rivera signed on with NewsNation as a correspondent-at-large, according to an announcement published Wednesday.

The 80-year-old journalist departed Fox News in June 2023, when the network fired him from its program, “The Five,” partly due to his allegedly “toxic relationship” with co-host Greg Gutfeld.

 

CBS Sparks Outrage Over Firing Of Catherine Herridge, ‘lone voice’ At Network Probing Hunter Biden Laptop​


Viewers and journalists alike slammed CBS News over this week’s firing of Catherine Herridge — an award-winning senior correspondent who sources said had run into “internal roadblocks” at the network as she covered the Hunter Biden laptop story.

The veteran investigative reporter, who has a First Amendment case that’s being closely watched by journalists nationwide, was among 20 CBS News staffers who lost their jobs Tuesday as part of a broader purge of 800 employees across parent company Paramount Global, sources told The Post.

Inside the halls of CBS News, staffers were outraged and bewildered by Herridge’s ouster, according to sources close to the Tiffany Network.

 
You realize he wasn't on the show right? The guy asking for examples. What a dumb tweet. Those women are stupid. So is that clown

You could tell it was fake because it was too quiet. Never a second goes by on that show without one of those yentas trying to talk louder than the one next to them.

Rubes fall for this sh!t.
Rolling Stone is and always has been a junk publication. I don't pay attention to it, so have no idea what they said on their TrumList. But here's what he did say. As for whether or not he is just lying again, we will have to wait and see.


Personally, I think Trump in his second term, that while he will continue to be a Liarindent, he will also become a Revengindent. We will see Putin take advantage of the USA's situation, making him a political fixture in our government. What I see is that despite being long dead, in the end, Hitler wins.
