From the radically leftist New York Times. (H/T Hot Air)

Excerpt:

CNN continued what has become a precipitous decline in ratings for its prime-time programs in the first quarter of 2010, with its main hosts losing almost half their viewers in a year.

The trend in news ratings for the first three months of this year is all up for one network, the Fox News Channel, which enjoyed its best quarter ever in ratings, and down for both MSNBC and CNN. …

About the only break from the bad news for CNN was that March was not as bad as February, when the network had its worst single month in its recent history, finishing behind not only Fox News and MSNBC, but also its sister network HLN — and even CNBC, which had Olympics programming that month.

CNN executives have steadfastly said that they will not change their approach to prime-time programs…

Well, how bad were the ratings, anyway?

Peter Sean Bradley’s blog Lex Communis had a graph from Nielsen Media Research.

Peter’s remarks are insightful:

Bwahahahahaha!

Indeed. I concur.

I left a comment with my evil laugh, but it wasn’t my best one. I thought of a better one afterward.
