CNN, which invented the cable news network more than two decades ago, will hit a new competitive low with its prime-time programs in October, finishing fourth – and last – among the cable news networks with the audience that all the networks rely on for their advertising.
The official monthly numbers will be finalized at 4 p.m. Monday and will include results from Friday. CNN executives conceded that will not change the competitive standing for the month. CNN will still be last in prime time.
That means CNN’s programs were behind not only Fox News and MSNBC, but even its own sister network HLN (formerly Headline News.) Three of its four shows between 7 and 11 p.m. finished fourth and last among the cable news networks. That was the first time CNN had finished that poorly with its prime-time shows.

GREAT! CNN is so liberal that it sickens me. I want the TRUTH and FOX is the ONLY station that tells it like it is! If it looks like a "bug" it is a bug! It is what it is so CNN shove it and SHUT UP!
You are AMERICANS still aren't you? —-I AM!!!!
YES they belong last. They repeat your LIES and don't give the news to make our own decisions??
I must agree, CNN is almost as bad as MSNBC. Lou Dobbs Tonight is the only CNN show I will watch. Not long ago Dobbs was getting heat for providing NEWS. I was hoping he would move to FOX NEWS along with Glenn Beck, and recently John Stossel.
Come on Lou. Get out of the CNN BS MILL. Come over to FOX News and continue to tell the truth.
Well the free market is still alive and well. Supply and demand does work ! Yes, CNN, is sickening !! Even the "news" they try to report is so blah, so boring, so 'out in left field', odd ball stories, etc.
Fox presents news that people are interested in. They are not making it up !!! They are providing the "watch dog" service that the State Media used to provide ! Screw CNN and don't approve a gov't bailout for them or any media organizations. They are wise enough to figure it out.
