News Networks across the world saw major declines in viewership over the course of 2021, as more and more people lost interest in current events.
As The Hill reports:
News networks saw a significant drop in viewership in 2021, according to Nielsen data, after many networks drew bigger audiences the previous year amid the COVID-19 pandemic and 2020 presidential election, among other big stories.
The drop in viewership this year was larger among cable news networks, The Associated Press reported, citing Nielsen data, with a 38 percent drop in weekday prime-time viewership for CNN, 34 percent drop for Fox News Channel and 25 percent drop for MSNBC.
Network news channels fared somewhat better than their cable counterparts, with viewership at ABC’s “World News Tonight” and “CBS Evening News” dropping by 12 percent each and viewership for NBC’s “Nightly News” dropping by 14 percent.
Outlets such as CNN have recently turned to other revenue opportunities, including making investments in streaming services. For example, CNN hired former NBC News anchor Kasie Hunt as an anchor for its streaming service in August and announced earlier this month that longtime “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace would join its streaming service in early 2022.
The news is a stark contrast to the years of the Trump Administration, which saw most networks gain viewers at a remarkable rate.
censorship on this site is terrible
Most ‘news’ now is nothing but F J Bidet propaganda.. Have you ever heard of a successful CATHOLIC “C” nation?
Have you ever heard of a CATHOLIC “C” nation that was not corrupt?
Have you ever heard of a CATHOLIC “C” nation that had an infrastructure?
Colorado is a CATHOLIC “C” controlled state. So is FL CA NM AZ IL OR ND NY!
The CATHOLIC have run the USA for 75 years. Vote for ANY CATHOLIC
C and you vote for a traitor and destruction of the USA…
Alfie. Just wait for the dumbocrap muslims to ram Islam up your ass
At least the Roman Catholics, in not condoning abortion, are contributing to the upkeep of the population. In post-Christian Europe the populations are faltering, all except for…you know who: the MUSLIMS, who in a generation will likely take over Europe.
Alfie is OBSESSED. May be even POSSESSED!
Yup they moved a tons of them here BUT alert out military and Americans behind

hoping the afghan cleanness will use toilet paper when wiping butt instead of their hands and then on everything Elise?..no wonder the CDC recommends no jabs for them
they will spread germs
THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
Show me any nation that was not corrupt, and I’ll show you a nation that was run by angels.
Nobody has lost interest in current events.
AMERICA IS SICK OF BEING LIED TO.
Everyone is tired of being pummeled by the left wing media for not believing their world view. They exclude anyone who disagrees with them and will not even allow negative comments.
Trump is no angel, but those media lost objectivity a long time ago. Now they lose viewers too. The one goes hand in hand with the other.
LISTEN UP….ALOT of NEWS STATIONS Need to TURN OVER a NEW LEAF. TRUST and INTEGRITY Go a LONG WAY. GOLDEN RULE…DO to OTHERS as YOU Would have THEM Do to YOU. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
I’m not surprised. Watching the Biden administration fail again and again gets old. I use the time for target practice.
If I want BS reporting, Ill go to the outhouse, C-Span
No longer watch news use time for other things like reading, hobbies, family, nature, pets, etc
Xiden adm is bad just peek at dementia Joe
we did not vote any demorats yet we all know this time around there a lot of fraudulent actions that are against G-d, against civility, against women, against people with disabilities, so on and on….
as a nation the media lost it all even the conservative news
People are not watching the corrupt mainstream news media anymore, that’s why they’ve dropped in their polling! Sites like brighteon and others are getting lots of new watchers!
It wasn’t loss of interest in current events that cost corporate media. It was INCREASED interest in TRUTH.
Why in God’s great name would I waste my time watching made -up crap from the media.? Once the” News?” became nothing but political opinion, mostly from the Left, we’ve lost interest. Remember when we used to enjoy sitting down with a cup of coffee and our favorite newspaper to actually get the news of the day? That’s gone now. I don’t enjoy looking at a computer screen for nothing but indoctrination into the mind of a snot-nosed young Leftist who only parrots every other composed talking point of the Left. Is this strong enough for you? No thank you. It’s like the NFL. I don’t watch that anymore either.
That is because “News” today is not true “News” It is lies. Yes not “Fake News” just old fashion LIES. Why do peeople make up words to lessen the truth?
