Scandal-scarred CNN has seen its viewership nosedive by a staggering 90 percent both overall and in the critical demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year as compared to last year.
The once-proud leader in cable news averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of January 3, a precipitous drop from the nearly 2.7 million viewers for the same week in 2021, according to the most recent ratings.
Those numbers were supercharged by the the left-leaning network's coverage of the January 6 Capitol Riot, which resulted in CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980.
However, on the one-year anniversary of the insurrection, viewers chose right-wing rival Fox as it topped ratings for coverage of the event.
CNN also saw an 86 percent decline in the much-desirable 25-to-54 demographic, with a paltry 113,000 tuned in last week, compared to the 822,000 CNN averaged a year ago.
The network, which was swallowed up by AT&T in its merger with WarnerMedia last year, has been plagued by high-profile scandals - most notably the firing of its top-rated prime time star Chris Cuomo after the anchor was found to be helping his sex-pest brother Andrew try to beat harassment allegations, which led to his resignation as New York's governor.

Media critics last month slammed network President Jeff Zucker for allowing ratings to drop with some accusing him of 'protecting perverts and pedophiles'
CNN's embattled boss Jeff Zucker was slammed last month over the network's low ratings and reported scandals over the actions of several prominent figures, including Cuomo and Don Lemon.
Lemon, the host of the 10pm show that followed Cuomo before he was fired, faced scrutiny for his own alleged ethics scandal. He was slammed for covering Jussie Smollett's trial after the Empire actor testified in court that the host informed him in a text message that Chicago police did not believe he was the victim of a racist homophobic attack.
The anchor also is being sued by a Hamptons bartender who claims Lemon, who is gay, rubbed his own genitals then shoved his fingers in his face in 2018.
Additionally, CNN senior producer John Griffin was arrested by the FBI on charges involving sex crimes with children.
The year didn't start any better as Andy Cohen when on a drunk-fueled tirade targeting exiting New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio just after the clock struck midnight during the network's annual New Year's Eve show.
Media critics have slammed Zucker, accusing him of 'protecting perverts and pedophiles' while also allowing his network ratings to drop.
'Given the sheer number of public sexual misconduct allegations – from harassment and child sexual violence to abusing one's journalistic credentials to try to silence women who have made allegations – it's fair to ask whether these are indicative of a broader cultural rot at the network that's being papered over as they focus on other priorities,' journalist Drew Holden told Fox News last month.
'Zucker has managed to simultaneously protect perverts and pedophiles as well as oversee a massive decline in ratings,' echoed Amber Athey, editor for the Spectator.
Media critic Jeffrey McCall alleged that Zucker was 'responsible for the culture in which underlings felt these misjudgments were ok'.

The sharp decline followed CNN's second most-watched year ever, the Daily Beast reported. Despite having a record year, network viewership trended downward for the second half of 2021. The network's demo ratings sank in the third quarter to its smallest since 2014 before bottoming out at the end of the year.
The network saw its strongest ever year in 2020, with viewership likely fueled by pandemic and election coverage.
However, it appeared to struggle catching eyes during primetime, between 8 and 11pm, recording an 83 percent year-over-year drop. It had 4.2 million total primetime viewers during the first week of 2021 and only 705,000 last week.
During the first week of the year, CNN recorded a year-over-year drop of 80 percent of its total audience.
CNN also shed 89 percent of its primetime viewers among its key demographic and 91 percent of viewers ages 18 to 49.
The former television news leader also failed to maintain strong viewership on January 6, something its anchors boasted about the prior year.
In 2021, the network averaged 5.3 million viewers on January 6. This year it failed to reach 1.5 million during any hour of the day despite having special programing marking the anniversary of the riot.
CNN averaged 743,000 viewers on January 6, 2022, an 86 percent decline from the previous year.
When the news outlet topped rankings for insurrection coverage last year, several anchors took to Twitter to applaud the network's success. Some Americans mocked the network over the praise, alleging it was insensitive in wake of what CNN called 'one of the darkest days in American history'.
CNN did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
While CNN's ratings declined last week, Fox topped the rankings for its coverage of January 6. It was also the no. 1 ranked cable news network during President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris' anniversary remarks.
During the first week of the year, the network averaged 1.4 million total viewers, only a 15 percent drop from the same period in 2021.

The network was also criticized by the public after Andy Cohen went on a drunken rant blasting former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and ABC host Ryan Seacrest while hosting CNN's New Year's Eve broadcast
The network has reportedly outdrawn CNN and MSNBC combined for 21 weeks straight. It also outdrew ESPN's 1.1 million viewers, finishing as the most-watched basic cable option.
MSNBC lost 67 percent of its total audience last week, 80 percent of which was among its key demographic.
The sharp decline followed CNN's second most-watched year ever, the Daily Beast reported. Despite having a record year, network viewership trended downward for the second half of 2021. The network's demo ratings sank in the third quarter to its smallest since 2014 before bottoming out at the end of the year.
The network saw its strongest ever year in 2020, with viewership likely fueled by pandemic and election coverage.
However, Cuomo's firing on December 4 capped a tumultuous year for the network.
The host of the 9 pm show had been suspended days earlier after New York Attorney General Letitia James' office released text messages that detailed exactly how the star anchor aided his brother as he tried to fight off a sexual harassment scandal last year.
Although it was not referenced in CNN's statement regarding his termination, an attorney told the New York Times that she had informed the network of her client's allegation of prior sexual misconduct against Chris Cuomo.
Debra S. Katz, a prominent employment lawyer who also represents one of Andrew Cuomo's accusers, said that the allegation against Chris Cuomo was made by a former junior colleague at another network, and was unrelated to the Gov. Andrew Cuomo matter.'
Further details about the allegation are unclear, including which network Chris Cuomo was working at at the time of the alleged misconduct. Cuomo's spokesman denied the claim, saying: 'These apparently anonymous allegations are not true.'

ShareCNN's statement cited only Cuomo's 'conduct with his brother's defense' in its decision to terminate the anchor.
'Aside from the string of professional missteps, it would seem Zucker should at least shoulder responsibility for the cratering ratings of this once-proud news organization,' he said. 'The ratings struggles alone at this channel should cause concern in the upper hierarchy of CNN's parent company.'
Most recently, CNN was criticized by the public after Cohen went on a drunken rant blasting de Blasio and ABC host Ryan Seacrest.
The presenter confessed to being 'overserved' with alcohol while hosting the special alongside Anderson Cooper, later admitting he was 'stupid and drunk and feeling it.'
He said he has 'no apologies for drinking on New Year's Eve, none' and claimed CNN and Zucker had not addressed the rant with him.
CNN has already confirmed he would be invited back at the end of 2022.

“做人不能太CNN”为何成为流行语
2008年03月28日 09:55中国网【大 中 小】 【打印】
对于网站对西方媒体歪曲报道的批评，外交部发言人秦刚27日表示，这完全是民众对美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）网站及其他一些西方媒体不负责任、有违职业道德的报道予以的自发谴责和批判。（3月27日新华网）
近期来，“做人不能太CNN”一语正在网络流传开来，这清楚的表明中国人民对西方媒体歪曲报道的反感。
“做人不能太CNN”为什么能成为流行语，就是中国人在西藏暴力犯罪事件中，看到了西方媒体的不实报。英国广播公司（BBC）17日在网站上刊登了一幅图片，显示的是中国公安武警协助医护人员将受伤人员送进救护车的场景，但BBC给出的图片说明却写道:“在拉萨有很多军队”。此外，英国《泰晤士报》等媒体也在报道中使用了“军事镇压”、“武力管制”、“藏人被杀数百人”等歪曲事实真相的文字。德国《柏林晨报》网站18日将一张中国公安武警解救被袭群众的照片硬说成是在“抓人”；美国福克斯电视台网站刊登的一幅照片称，“中国军人”将抗议者拉上卡车，但图片显示的却是印度警察。德国NTV电视台在报道“发生在西藏的事件”时，用的竟是尼泊尔警察抓捕抗议者的电视画面。同样在17日，美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）和法新社在各自网站上使用了一张描述一辆车正向两名平民驶来的图片，虽然CNN网站的图片说明写的是“藏人向军车投掷石块”，但图中却看不见类似场景。事实上，当时军车旁有约10名暴徒在向军车投掷石块。
西方不实报道的转帖在中国国内及海外华人网站中迅速流传，引起了很多中国人的气愤。据了解，目前，单中华网军事论坛的相关帖文点击量达数百万次，批评西方媒体的跟帖达数万条。许多人都加入到反对西方媒体制假活动中。最有力的证明就是，目前，拉萨局势已基本平稳，社会秩序已恢复正常。而此时CNN刊登的一幅照片显示的却是军车在街上行驶，旁边有一辆汽车在焚烧，前方则有人在奔跑。当CNN这张照片出来后，中国网民很快的并上传的原照片，图片右面本来还有一些参与打砸抢烧的人向军车投掷石块，空中的石头清晰可见。
一位网民指出，这位加拿大人还拍下了中国武警举着盾牌组成人墙阻挡雨点般砖头袭击的照片，并将其放在自己的博客里，这幅照片后来被《纽约时报》放到了头版，然而，该报的图片说明却根本不提歹徒袭击警察的暴行，而是用了“示威”这种完全不符合事实、带有偏见的字眼。
西方媒体用造假、带有目的的裁剪等手段，达到不可告人的目的，被揭发后，却没有看到他们道歉。CNN只是偷偷摸摸地“重新编辑”了曾被它们刻意篡改的照片，让先前被隐藏的向军车仍石头的暴民露出本来面目，仍然没有向广大中国人民真诚道歉，仍然没有修改它们诋毁中国形象的初衷。
面对错误，面对张冠李戴，面对造假，面对偏见始终不承认，这是何等的顽劣。这让更多的中国人看到了一些西方媒体的真面目，他们就是错误、造假、张冠李戴、虚假、无知、偏见的代名词，这样的代名词已经通过西藏事件获得更多的中国人的认同，所以，“做人不能太CNN”成为流行语就不是什么奇怪的事情了。

2月2日（周三），已在美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）任职9年的总裁扎克（Jeff Zucker）突然宣布辞职，原因是他未能按要求披露他与一位CNN女高管之间的亲密关系。令人惊讶的是，美国前总统川普居然在1个月多之前就曾预言：扎克为CNN服务的时间不多了。
作为CNN这个美国最有影响力的媒体之一的高管，扎克的突然辞职在整个传媒界和网络引发了冲击波。而川普则第一时间发声明向媒体界道贺，因为他认为，扎克的离职对“减少假新闻”是有好处的。
