Yes. Many, many people. Latest “average stats” for 7 day primetime viewing in 2023 were a bit over 500,000 CNN viewers and 1.8mil Fox News viewers.
Of course, we have to guesstimate as these are likely Nielsen ratings, as well as including things like how many TV’s per airport.
If we take the ~5,000 public airports and divide that by CNN’s 550,000k viewers (over 7 days) that would be 110 TV’s per airport needed to be playing CNN. Given that I don’t think most airports have this many TV’s, specific playing CNN, I think it’s fair to assume that there are actual people watching the news.

The collapse of western journalism. I should say that overtly commercialized media is just a prop.
Nobody who’s looking for good coverage of anything should be reading / watching CNN anyway. The last 10-odd years have proven that all the major privately owned US networks are just total slop.
Seriously - pretty much every single TV news network in the US is just a constant flow of editorialized garbage and shoddy journalism. It’s more than a little depressing to consider that millions of people for their view of global politics based on it.
Former Ohio state Senator Nina Turner was reacting to the early results Tuesday evening, which had already revealed a high number of votes for “uncommitted,” thanks to a protest campaign over President Biden’s horrific backing of Israel’s war on Gaza.
No surprise; she’s an ally of Bernie Sanders, who has also been marginalized by the mainstream media.
They show nothing but contempt to these people.
Journalism is pay 2 win now, and all the biggedt news outlets are being funded by lots of rich people / companies
