Just got off the phone with @SecPompeo, whose plane is on the ground in Japan with the 3 freed Americans. Thankfully, all seem to be in good health and glad to be heading home to the U.S. @POTUS and I are eager to welcome them home this evening at Joint Base Andrews #USA

The least-watched prime time program on Fox News drew more viewers than its most-watched counterpart on CNN. “Fox News at Night with Shannon Bream” drew an average of 1.5 million viewers in the month of April, according to Nielsen ratings reported by the Conservative Tribune. CNN’s most-watched show, “Anderson Cooper 360,” had an average audience of 1.1 million and placed a distant 24th among cable programs. Several shows in Fox’s morning and daytime lineups also outperformed “AC360,” including “America’s Newsroom,” “Fox & Friends,” “Outnumbered,” “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” “Happening Now,” “Shepard Smith Reporting,” “Outnumbered Overtime” and “Daily Briefing with Dana Perino.” It’s the latest bad news for CNN, which saw prime-time viewership decline 17 percent in the first quarter of 2018.There’s an old saying that goes “If it wasn’t for people in airports, no one would be watching CNN.” That may be an exaggeration, but you can’t deny that it’s true for a lot of people. Viewership tends to be a bi-product of familiarity. You get used to seeing a channel, so you keep tuning in. If CNN wasn’t running 24/7 in America’s airports, I honestly wonder how many people would forget it existed at all…
