Trump's attacks on CNN helped their revenues far more than his praise helped Fox News, new figures suggest

Donald Trump’s favourite channel Fox News has experienced a year-on-year drop in advertising revenue, while CNN and The New York Times continue to grow despite the President attacking them as “fake news” and “failing”. Despite the President constantly tweeting his love of Fox News, the right-wing, unashamedly pro-Trump network suffered a 2 per cent drop in advertising revenue for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period last year, analysts Standard Media Index (SMI) have revealed. By contrast, CNN – repeatedly branded “fake news” by Mr Trump – saw its third quarter ad revenues grow by 9 per cent year-on-year.
