CNN just lost their ways over the years. Once a very credible news channel as well. I think when Fox started doing better than CNN, they gave up on conservative viewers and started focusing on the left. MSNBC completely caught them off guard and took most of their left viewers and that's what CNN is trying to get back now. I think CNN is on really shaky ground as many viewers just watch out of habit. They've been watching for years now. Similar to people that continually watch the Simpsons all these years even after the show went downhill a long time ago.
I think a bulk of their "viewership" are all the TVs that have at airport terminals, that CNN pays to have there.
I refuse to watch or listen to ANY talking head. Any of them.
If I want to listen to a particular interview on NPR or POTUS (Julie Mason), I may do that for a few minutes in the car, but this paid talking head thing is just too much.
It's become a revolving door for political payoffs - look at the Hucksters.....millionaires paid by Fox News Billionaires. You could make a comedy show about it.
Back when I enjoyed a big of Hairball because Chris is a fellow Philly boy and we have the same attitude....that is, "out with it - what are you really saying?".
Keith Olbermann was entertaining in a certain comic way (The Sarah Palin Turkey thing was funny). I watched Maddow about 5 times when she started because she is from our town and a pretty typical "Happy Valley" (western MA) intellectual.
But that's it. We don't even get cable any longer....so when the election comes near I'll just watch some stuff on the web.
Those shows are really nothing but another form of Reality TV.
Maddow may still have a house in Western MA and live there for part of the year, but Maddow isn't from Western MA.
Maddow is from my hometown metro area. She was born and raised in Castro Valley, CA (SF Bay Area).
It is more to do with people experiencing "burn out" from all the bad news caused by this administration.
Fox viewers feed off it.
What bad news exactly? Is it the lowest unemployment rate for minorities in US history? Perhaps you considered tax cuts for hard working Americans to be bad? Do you happen to do a lot of business in commie China?

Good leaders would not tear up the Treaty. The world is always changing and the Constitution was written knowing it would need to be modified at some point, we should modify with our treaties. Putin and Trump will leave at some point the U.S. and Russia will continue on.
The world will always be at a stand off, tearing up progress is a lot easier than making progress. Trump is good at leaving everyone else holding the bag.
CNN ratings are falling because of the disastrous news everyday.
Are you trying to say that they haven’t made a hard left turn? That they have always been completely one sided?
Maybe I should be asking you how old YOU are.
"50. What does that have to do with anything?"
Plenty. You are too young to remember how bad CNN was and how much they covered for the clinton's which is WHY there were called the Clinton News Network.

" CNN leaned left but they were much more middle of the road than they are now." They have ALWAYS leaned FAR left.
