   During Trump's first term, MSNBC and CNN were both in   
   the midst of skyrocketing ratings. CNN, which was once   
   the most respected channel in cable news, veered sharply   
   to the left to siphon off some of the growing audience   
   of Trump-haters in which MSNBC was then basking.   
      
   My, how things have changed. Now Trump is back in office,   
   and you'd think MSNBC and CNN would be thriving in the   
   ratings again. But that's not happening this time. I   
   wonder why?   
      
   [quoting] "Interesting that MSNBC and CNN both saw   
   viewership tank in first year of Trump 2.0. Huge change   
   from Trump 1.0 when he sent their ratings soaring.   
   Meanwhile Fox News grew by double digits." [end quote]

   There's a chart at the link that shows how much   
   MSNBC and CNN have fallen, versus how much Fox News   
   has risen in the ratings. And speaking of:   
      
   [quoting] "TV RATINGS: Fox News finishes 2025 with a   
   big lead over CNN and MSNBC during its highest-rated   
   non-election year ever.   
      
   "'The Five' topped all of cable news for a fourth   
   consecutive year with the most total viewers, delivering   
   its best year ever with 4.1 million viewers.   
      
   "Fox News programs made up the top 12 cable news programs   
   in viewers ...   
   ...   
   "'Gutfeld!' delivered its highest-rated year in program   
   history. Host Greg Gutfeld dominated the cable and   
   broadcast competition with 3.1 million viewers and   
   362,000 in A25-54, becoming the only late night program   
   to post increases year-over-year in key demos." [end quote]

   It's really a shame that the three broadcast networks   
   with late night shows (ABC, CBS, and NBC) haven't   
   figured out yet that their late-night hosts are one   
   big joke with their dwindling ratings, while a guy   
   on a CABLE channel is kicking their collective asses   
   in the ratings.
