Fox News Continued To See Audience Growth In May While MSNBC And CNN Posted Double-Digit Declines Vs. 2024
Fox News continued to show robust ratings growth for the month of May, again dominating its cable news rivals MSNBC and CNN, which have seen year-over-year declines. The past month saw the debut of MSNBC's new nighttime lineup, with The Weeknight taking the 7 p.m. ET slot, Rachel Maddow returning to one night a week at 9 p.m. ET and Jen Psaki filling that time period Tuesday to Thursday. More from Deadline David Leavy To Depart As COO Of CNN, Will Return To Parent Warner Bros. Discovery Hoda Kotb, In Return 'Today' Visit, Denies Rumors She Will Succeed Kelly Clarkson With Daytime Talk Show Donald Trump Says He Plans To Pardon Reality Stars Todd And Julie Chrisley But the new shows are not reversing the trendlines vs. 2024. While MSNBC has recovered some audience since a post-election fall off, the network, like CNN, has seen double-digit drops from a year ago. The caveat is that last year was a presidential election year, when networks typically see an increase in viewership. In primetime, Fox News averaged 2.46 million viewers, up 23%, while MSNBC posted 877,000, down 24%, and CNN averaged 426,000, down 18%. In the 25-54 demo, Fox News averaged 262,000, up 32%, compared to CNN with 76,000, down 21%, and MSNBC with 73,000, down 34%. In total day, Fox News averaged 1.56 million viewers, up 21%, compared to MSNBC with 545,000, down 33%, and CNN with 353,000, down 24%. In the 25-54 demo, Fox News averaged 180,000, up 22%, while CNN posted 59,000, down 27%, and MSNBC averaged 49,000, down 41%. The Rachel Maddow Show was MSNBC's top rated show, averaging 1.89 million viewers, while The Briefing with Jen Psaki averaged 950,000, according to Nielsen figures of the four weeks through May 23. The latter is down from the previous occupant of the Tuesday-Friday time slot, Alex Wagner Tonight, which averaged 1.3 million viewers of its run from 2022 to 2025. Psaki's show did improve on its lead in, All In with Chris Hayes, which averaged 912,000. The Weeknight, featuring hosts Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez, averaged 772,000 total viewers. In its final month in February, Joy Reid's ReidOut averaged 955,000. Fox News' The Five was the most viewed cable news show of the month, drawing an average of 3.77 million viewers, followed by Jesse Watters Primetime with 3.23 million, Gutfeld! with 2.92 million, Special Report with 2.81 million and Hannity with 2.73 million. In the 25-54 demo, The Five averaged 368,000, followed by Jesse Watters Primetime with 363,000, Gutfeld! with 328,000, Hannity with 299,000 and The Ingraham Angle with 297,000. The figures are from Nielsen via Fox News. Best of Deadline 'The Morning Show' Season 4: Everything We Know So Far 2025 TV Series Renewals: Photo Gallery 2025 TV Cancellations: Photo Gallery

CNN host warns Dems must actually 'get rid of some sacred cows' of far-left ideology, not just talk about it
CNN host Abby Phillip warned that if Democrats want to win back voters, they will need to risk offending their consultant class base with concrete policy changes. Since their historic defeat in November, the Democratic Party remains divided about how to move forward. While some Democrats are doubling down on the far-left politics many argue alienated voters, others are calling to abandon so-called "woke" politics. But as the party remains in flux, a rising tide of commentators are challenging such Democrats to actually articulate which far-left policies they will kick to the curb in order to regain the working-class voters they lost. On Tuesday evening, a panel on CNN discussed The New York Times' report claiming that Democrats are spending $20 million on a study called "Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan." The study is purportedly a project to "study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces" of male voters. The panel spoke about how Democrats lack their own equivalent of podcaster Joe Rogan, and how he gradually went from a nonpolitical figure to becoming prominent in the "MAGA universe." CNN media correspondent Hadas Gold said one idea she has seen pitched is a "sleeper" podcast, "where they just they help fund the podcasters, let them do whatever they want, really build up that base, it has nothing to do with politics, and then in a few years, sort of seep into politics," she said, "just like Joe Rogan." Democratic Party Scrambles To Fix Image As Members Acknowledge Party 'Lost Credibility' However, she argued, such an idea probably wouldn't work. Read On The Fox News App "The only way that that works is through authenticity, and you're not going to make it work by building up these funds and, in any way, being connected to a political party, because the political parties, especially Democrats right now, don't exactly have a good brand people want to be attached to," she said. When Gold praised Arizona Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego for appealing to authenticity in his rhetorical style, Phillip responded that Democrats need actual substance to their reform. "Okay, but here's the thing. They're going to have to — you alluded to this," Phillip said as she pointed to former Biden White House official Dan Koh, who called to take positions that may offend parts of the party. "They're going to have to get rid of some sacred cows. This is going to be the hard part. Everybody talks about authenticity until the rubber meets the road, and they have to actually take positions that the activist, you know, consultant class base does not want them to take." Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture "I don't think they will," CNN commentator Shermichael Singleton said. "I mean, for Democrats to effectively target men of every color, they are going to have to drastically change some of their positions, especially some of the cultural stuff. I don't think that's going to happen, Dan. I think you guys have moved so far to the left, many — I know you're from the South, Dan, you seem to be more reasonable than most, but for the most part, a lot of you guys don't make room for guys to express their views in an open way about a lot of issues." When Koh was asked what he would do to change the party, he proposed doing a better job of enforcing the border and supporting upward mobility, saying, "These positions aren't popular with a lot of the party, but it's what people are — to the point of putting people where they are, it's where people are, and it's where we need to be as well."Original article source: CNN host warns Dems must actually 'get rid of some sacred cows' of far-left ideology, not just talk about it

Male Escort Named 'The Punisher' Apologizes To Cassie For His Role In Diddy's Alleged 'Freak Offs'
A week after a male escort known as "The Punisher" testified that Diddy allegedly paid him $2,000 to participate in an oiled "freak off" with Cassie Ventura, the performer has issued an apology. The Punisher's statement comes during the third week of testimony in Diddy's federal trial, in which various witnesses have shared their alleged experiences with the rap mogul, who faces up to life in prison after being charged with racketeering and sex trafficking. While appearing on CNN, Sharay Hayes, also known as The Punisher, shared an emotional statement with the news outlet and directly apologized to Cassie, who previously dated Diddy from 2008 to 2018 and alleged she was pressured to participate in elaborate orgies with other men called "freak offs." "I would apologize because I had no idea, no indication [of] what she was going through," he said. "Obviously, my involvement kind of furthered her suffering. Me, knowing that as a man, being raised by a single mom and a grandma, just the thought of partaking in a scenario where a woman is possibly being abused is tough to hear. I would just apologize to her and tell her that I was really remorseful and regret if I contributed to a bad experience for her." Hayes took the stand the week of May 19, 2025, and told the court that he was paid $2,000 to participate in an oiled "freak off" involving Cassie. During his testimony, Hayes alleged that he was directed to meet Cassie at a room in Trump Tower in New York City in 2012 to create a "sexy scene" for Diddy. "I was specifically told to not acknowledge her husband," Hayes told the court. Later, Hayes testified that a man, presumed to be Diddy, entered wearing a covering that "Muslim women wear" and began to masturb-te with Astroglide lubricant before exiting the room. Hayes further alleged he was hired to participate in "freak offs" with Cassie and Diddy at least eight to 12 times. When Cassie took the stand the week of May 12, 2025, the "Me & U" singer recalled the first time Diddy allegedly told her he was interested in watching her have sexual intercourse with another man. "I was 22 at the time, my stomach churned, didn't have a concept of how that would be a turn on, but I accepted the responsibility," Cassie testified. "I was confused, nervous, but also loved him very much and wanted to make him happy." Later, the 38-year-old explained that planning and participating in the alleged orgies became all-consuming, leaving no room for anything else. She also shared that the alleged sexual encounters would sometimes last for hours, stating that the "longest one was four days." Following the conclusion of Cassie's testimony inside the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse, her husband, Alex Fine, released a message of support for her through her lawyer. "Over the past five days, the world has gotten to witness the strength and bravery of my wife, freeing herself of her past," Fine said. He also addressed speculation that hearing his wife's testimony might have altered his feelings for her. "There has been speculation online surrounding how it must feel for me to sit there and listen to my wife's testimony. I have felt so many things sitting there. I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass," he said. "I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her. So, to him and all of those who helped him along the way, please know this: You did not. You did not break her spirit nor her smile that lights up every room." He continued: "You did not break the soul of a mother who gives the best hugs and plays the silliest games with our little girls. You did not break the woman who has made me a better man." In her own statement, Cassie also addressed the public after her emotional testimony, admitting it was "extremely challenging." However, the singer described her time on the stand as "remarkably empowering and healing for me." "I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from abuse and fear. For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember. And the more I can remember, the more I will never forget," she finished.
