CNN Gets Annihilated by Obscure Western Network, History Channel in Prime Time Ratings
In the iconic Western movie "Shane," the title character is wounded while gunning down the villains. The hero then rides out of the valley and off the screen -- presumably to die.
CNN, the liberal news network that banked everything on vilifying former President Donald Trump, looks to be following suit. In this version of the classic tale, however, the hero is Everyman who changes the television channel and in doing so wounds the villain -- possibly mortally. The villain is named CNN.
Last week, CNN’s viewership fell behind the History Channel and INSP during prime time, according to the New York Post.
Unless you're a fan of old Westerns, you've probably never heard of INSP. It's a South Carolina-based channel founded in the late 1970s by the Christian televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. Once a ministry network, it now plays Western TV shows and movies.
