CNN's Anderson Cooper gives a rather halting defense to his controversial teabagging on-air riff where he observed "It's hard to talk when you're teabagging." Somebody shot this cell phone vid.Cooper blames talking head David Gergen for setting him up. Anderson could've gagged himself.
Gloria Vanderbilt's swishy silly son may find himself gagged by CNN if his ratings continue to suck big time.
Friday May 15 Cooper delivered by far his lowest P2+ ratings this year with 499,000 total viewers (and his 2nd lowest demo with 168,000 viewers 25-54) according to Nielsen Media Research. (He had his 6th lowest post-inauguration last night with 706,000.)
Cooper was averaging the 1.4 million viewers in January and has been slipping every month since… currently averaging around 857,000 (May to date 5/18) And it’s not just Cooper who’s going down… CNN finished fourth 4 out of 5 times last week… and 4th again last night. CNN has placed fourth 43% of the time so far this year in weekday prime.
I'm beginning to think television ratings have zero, zip, nada to do with the political mood of the nation. Bad ratings but their guy is elected and implementing their changes. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteCNN, for all their flaws, comes closest to giving a fair airing of the days issues. The country has a taste for psychotics screeching at us. Don't ask me why.
ReplyDeleteMaybe because they want to be reminded of the female in their lives?
ReplyDeleteKeith does have that conflicting sexuality going. As for Beck, he needs another go in rehab...
