CNN gets pwned by... CNN Headline News?!?

yep you read that headline right folks, CNN, the once preeminent name in cable news (back before Fox News was even a brainstorm in Murdoch's mind), has fallen to 4th in the cable ratings. Now if you follow conservative radio or talk in general they like to make fun of the fact that MSNBC has low ratings, here's something for CNN execs to lose sleep over, (link to article below)...

Through March 17, CNN trailed not only Fox News and MSNBC but also its own sister network, Headline News, on nine out of 17 days. On one day, March 13, CNN even drew fewer 25-to-54 viewers than CNBC -- the first time that's happened since November 2007. And of the eight days it finished higher than fourth in the demo, five were either Saturdays or Sundays, typically the lowest rated nights for the news networks

Heh. Nice.

I'm so sick of all of them though. I'd much rather get my news from the internet.
