Maddow, Cooper hit ratings lows
Two cable news personalities -- CNN's Anderson Cooper and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow -- have hit ratings lows within a week of each other.
Tuesday night's Rachel Maddow was seen by only 789,000 viewers, a series-low performance since her show debuted last summer.
Friday's Anderson Cooper 360 was the anchor's least-watched show since Barack Obama's inauguration, with 622,000 viewers.
Cooper and Maddow's average audiences have been sliding since January following last year's historic presidential election, and with the bombastic daily economic headlines have lessened somewhat. Cooper is about on par when compared to the same period last year.
