The last time \u201cReliable Sources\u201d managed to draw one million viewers was on Aug. 29, 2021, when CNN bounced between breaking news coverage of Hurricane Ida and Stelter\u2019s program.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>During February alone, viewership for Stelter\u2019s media affairs program is down 43% among total viewers and 65% among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54 through two episodes, compared to the same month in 2021. The ratings-challenged program has also gone back-to-back weeks averaging fewer than 100,000 demo viewers.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSomeone needs to explain the business strategy of taking hosts that everyone can watch for free but few choose to, and putting them behind a paywall and believing people will now pay to watch the same people they ignore when offered for free,\u201d independent journalist&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ggreenwald\/status\/1494327901839192073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Glenn Greenwald tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf CNN\u2019s collapsing ratings weren\u2019t enough to elicit an agonizing reappraisal of their entire situation, the planned rollout of CNN+ surely is,\u201d Grabien Media founder Tom Elliott told Fox News Digital. \u201cRather than using their new subscription-based platform to attempt something new and original that people might actually pay for, the leftover project of Jeff Zucker is instead doubling down on failure. For reasons that defy common sense, CNN apparently thinks that taking their least popular opinionists \u2014 Don Lemon &amp; Brian Stelter most notably \u2014 and moving them into a less structured and more regular format, will somehow turnaround the network\u2019s cratering business. If ever WarnerMedia needed to stage an intervention, now is that time. And I say this as a former CNN fan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN has been dealing with varying degrees of turmoil since it was first revealed last year that former prime time anchor Chris Cuomo was <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/chris-cuomo-advised-andrew-cuomo-on-sexual-harassment-allegations-cnn-wont-punish-him\/\">advising his brother<\/a>, former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) as he navigated <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/we-cannot-meet-our-burden-at-trial-albany-da-wont-prosecute-andrew-cuomo-for-sexual-harassment\/\">numerous accusations<\/a> of sexual harassment and assault. Cuomo was later fired after allegations against him surfaced as well, but the investigation into his actions also led to the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/chris-blew-the-place-up-jake-tapper-blames-cuomo-for-zucker-ouster\/\">abrupt exit<\/a> of former CNN President Jeff Zucker and his paramour Allison Gollust \u2014 allegedly because they failed to disclose their personal relationship.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
