Fox News' Tucker Carlson absolutely dominated CNN last week, beating their
entire prime time line up _combined_ in total viewers by over 1,000,000
viewers and CNN is not handling the news well.
CNN's entire prime time line up garnered 2,474,000 total viewers compared to
Carlson's 3,475,000 total viewers.
Ratings from Nielsen Media Research for 03/25-03/29:
FOX News Tucker Carlson: 3,475,000 total viewers; 625,000 viewers in the 25-
54 age demographic
CNN Cooper: 810,000 total viewers; 203,000 viewers in the 25-54 age
demographic
CNN Cuomo: 875,000 total viewers; 217,000 viewers in the 25-54 age
demographic
CNN Lemon: 789,000 total viewers; 228,000 viewers in the 25-54 age
demographic
Fox News' ratings exploded last week after Attorney General William Barr sent
his letter to Congress saying that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's
investigation found no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
At first, CNN responded to the blow out in ratings with CNN's Brian Stelter
claiming: "Since the letter's release on Sunday, there hasn't been much news."

I am now open to the idea that Brian Stelter is trolling
ALL of us. He literally said there hasn't been much news
this week and that's why ratings are down.

After Stelter's claim was widely mocked, CNN launched a new attack on Fox
News, specifically targeting Carlson after Carlson dominated their entire
prime time line up.
"Over the last month, Tucker Carlson's commercial breaks have had only a
smattering of ads from lesser-known brands," CNN tweeted on Tuesday night. "It
might be a new normal for the Fox News host, who has endured ad boycott
campaigns since he made racist remarks on immigrants in December."
CNN's report promoted the attacks against Carlson from far-left Media Matters,
despite the fact that Media Matters' president came under intense fire last
month after it was revealed that he wrote multiple racist, anti-Semitic, and
transphobic things before running Media Matters.
CNN reported: "And the ad exodus revved up once more last month, after the
liberal watchdog Media Matters unearthed a number of misogynistic and racist
remarks that Carlson made on a radio show."

The Daily Caller reported last month that Media Matters President Angelo
Carusone was "leading a boycott campaign against Fox News host Tucker Carlson,
a co-founder of The Daily Caller News Foundation, in an attempt to get him
fired."
"Carusone and Media Matters, which openly pine for the destruction of Fox
News, have justified the left-wing boycott campaign by pointing to a number of
statements that Carlson made on a radio shock jock show between 2006 and
2011," The Daily Caller continued. "But Carusone has his own track record of
inflammatory statements. Carusones now-defunct blog included degrading
references to 'trannies,' 'jewry' and Bangladeshis, records maintained by the
Internet Archives Wayback Machine show."
Aside from CNN's non-stop coverage of Russia over the last two years and its
overwhelmingly negative coverage of Trump, CNN also has a serious credibility
problem as surveys have found that they are viewed as the least trustworthy
cable news network.
Carlson responded to the far-left's attempts to silence him in a fiery
statement on Fox News, saying: "One of the only places left in the United
States where independent thoughts are allowed is right here, the opinion hours
on this network. Just a few hours in a sea of television programming. Its not
much, relatively speaking. For the Left, its unacceptable. They demand total
conformity.
"For now, just two points to leave you with. First, FOX News is behind us, as
they have been since the very first day. Toughness is a rare quality in a TV
network, and we are grateful for that," Carlson continued. "Second, weve
always apologized when were wrong, and will continue to do that. Thats what
decent people do. They apologize. But we will never bow to the mob. Ever. No
matter what."
