Anyone who thinks that News Nation is unbiased, doesn't have a journalism background. Several of the hosts were let go by FNC years ago. They hate Fox News and by association, they hate Trump. Elizabeth Vargas was released by ABC years ago, I believe because she was far left even then-which was not fashionable. The show "The Hill' is nothing but a giggle fest by the swamp. You would think upper management might look at their ratings and change course, but they are not. They run commercial that beg for money for the ACLU. That should tell you everything you need to know...

You're so right about The Hill. It's not news. Stirewalt is the best thing about this channel. Blake Berman and Mick Mulvaney are like two lovers.

Newsnation is a done-on-the-cheap low quality production...with second-rate opinionated pundits Why do these "hosts" NEED to express THEIR opinions. If they TRULY want to be a balanced NEWS station...BE A BALANCED NEWS STATION and not another "wannabee CNN or FOX SPEWS"! Be something different...do something different. Maybe then your ratings and viewership will come up because what you're doing now isn't working. Once "again" Newsnation's ratings are in the pits. Another week with only 95,000 avg viewers and ranked #67th. Bring back WGN America 🇺🇸

I don't see why there is so much hate in the comments for newsnation. I watch every night from 6-10pm. Showing both sides fairly is commendable. I hope newsnation succeeds. We need more nonpartisan news. You couldn't pay me to watch newsmax or fox news. Both those networks just kiss trump's ass all day every day. It's definitely more profitable to only show one side and that is all the more reason why we need more networks like newsnation. I wish them the best and wish more news networks would follow their lead. If we just all live in our silos we will always be divided. We must see the other sides point of view. Also, I am disappointed Dan Abrams left. His show was my favorite and I'm sad it's gone.

Cuomo AND right-wing Vittert ARE opinionated losers...is why. No ratings is proof...no ratings for Vittert are even shown is proof

Fredo is S T I L L below 200,000 average viewers...for 2 and 1/2 years now...as of March 30th! And why are Leland's numbers not being reported...are they really that bad?

Gob

Apr 5, 2025 16:13 EST

They must. How can someone with a new slot not have the numbers reported? Good or bad. Something is really off. They must be bad because if they were good, Mediate would let us know.

Talk about the waste in government...how about the money wasted at Nexstar for keeping a losing channel like Newsnation on the air with barely 100,000 viewers a week on the air. I'm sure Elon Musk would pull the plug on Newsnation over i4 years of poor ratings performance

I lost my job at DOE so billionaires could get a tax cut. Sad. Have you no shame Donald Trump!

Now they’re down to 90,000 viewers in primetime. LOL Time to pack it up. It’s over for you clowns.

99,000 viewers in primetime. Lmao…what a joke.

...and now it's "90,000 viewers in primetime" this week. What say you Nexstar...? Heads should roll!

I remember when I accurately predicted that not only would newsnation's morning show BORING in America fail but they would get rid of Adrienne. They DEMOTED her January 2024 cause of non-existent ratings and constant unprofessional conduct with Niall. She's gonna be fired by the end of the month 🤣🤣

On ABC and CNN Elon Musk says he's "bewildered???" over why his Tesla cars are being attacked. Duh!!! Elon snortin' the Special K again...

Elon Musk needs to focus on Tesla...the Chinese are now building better electric vehicles that are priced thousands less than Tesla...Tesla sales are plummeting in China, the European Union, and the United States. Let me just say that our next electric car WILL NOT be a Tesla!
