Donald Trump Says CNN Ratings ‘Tanking’ Since Election: Is He Right?

Is He Right?

Since the election, CNN is down 18 percent in primetime compared to the same dates last year — while Fox News, MSNBC were both up

President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter on Thursday morning to declare that CNN’s ratings are sinking since the election one day after referring to the network as “fake news” during his first press conference since winning the election.

Time will tell if an on-going feud with the Trump administration will help or hurt the network — or regulatory approval for AT&T to acquire CNN’s parent company, Time Warner.
