Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and wow, CNN just
0:06
got the worst news in the history of the network, and I mean in the history of the network
0:13
so bad that it could collapse everything they've built. Folks, before we get started I want to ask you personally to please like, comment, share
0:21
and subscribe to this video, particularly like and share, it really helps keep the channel
0:25
free and it stops us from suffering the fate of CNN. So what fate is that you might ask
0:31
I'll tell you, CNN has just had its worst ratings drop in the history of the network
0:40
from one week to the next, so bad that their Sunday shows, you're talking about State of
0:47
the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, Fareed Zakaria, GPS, Smirkonish, some other
0:53
shows that are in that timeframe, we're getting audiences of around 55,000 people
1:01
That is absolutely pathetic. I mean that's sad. That is, we normally don't have videos here on Explain America that don't break 55,000
1:11
you know what I'm saying? And our pool of audience is a lot smaller than CNN's, and you'd be hard pressed to find
1:21
a lot of news channels that have any kind of following that don't break 55,000 per video
1:27
Sure, sometimes you're going to get a story or a video that doesn't break that, but more
1:32
or less, if people want to hear what you have to say, they're going to watch
1:37
It's the reason I ask you guys to like and share because it's that important, it helps grow our channel and it helps get our message to other people
1:44
And for CNN to suffer that kind of catastrophic, catastrophic ratings crisis, and there's no
1:50
other word to describe it that I can think of, with a new president coming in, he's going
1:56
to have to face this and you have to wonder what shows are on the chopping block
2:01
Because even if you look at the primetime lineup on CNN, which has the whole story with
2:05
Anderson Cooper, had a couple other shows on there, that suffered as well
2:11
And it really makes you wonder what they can do to right this ship
2:14
They have tried firing Don Lemon, they've tried revamping the morning show, they've
2:19
tried revamping the evening shows. Now it's mostly women, I think it's only women except for Anderson Cooper that are hosting
2:25
the primetime shows now. You got Caitlin Collins and some others and I've watched some of them and they do as good
2:32
of a job as anybody else. But for some reason, people aren't tuning in
2:36
My belief is that CNN very much tries to toe the line between conservative and liberal
2:44
So you have MSNBC who brings in big ratings on the left because they're just far left
2:48
You have Fox News who brings in big ratings on the right because they make their right-leaning
2:52
slant known. You have CNN who's definitely liberal but tries to mask it in the guise of fairness
3:01
and impartiality. And they probably are more impartial than MSNBC, but you could see the liberalness in
3:09
the way they report and the way they talk about Trump and the way they talk about things. Yet they try to mask it and pretend to be impartial
3:16
And I think it's the disingenuousness of it that actually hurts the ratings
3:21
Fox News, you go there, they tell you, hey, we're right wing. MSNBC, you go there, they say, hey, we're left wing
3:27
You may disagree with what either one of those stations say, but they tell you exactly what
3:31
they are and they make no bones about it. They're not disingenuous
3:37
I think what a lot of people feel with CNN is they're being disingenuous
3:40
I'm not saying they're right or wrong. I'm saying I think people feel that way
3:46
And if people feel that way, they're not going to tune in to hear what you have to say
3:53
So with that being said, I think there's good shows on CNN and I think there's good anchors
3:57
and hosts and reporters there. Some of them. I watch it. I watch all the channels because I like to get, you know, get kind of a microcosm of
4:05
what's going on so I can bring it to you. And you know, I don't think they're as horrible as I think a lot of people think
4:11
They're certainly not MSNBC. But I want to know what you guys think in the comments, so please let me know
4:17
Also again, please remember to like and share. It was really so important and it really, really helps keep the channel free
4:24
Also please, of course, subscribe if you haven't already. I'm Carmine Sabia
4:28
This is Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you. Take care, everybody
