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.
You may be having a Senior moment.

50 is too young to remember? I was already out of college and in graduate school when Clinton was elected. That is too young to remember?

I’m even old enough to clearly remember when CNN was started. My parents had it on the TV constantly. I used to like to watch Evans and Novak all the time.

Watch CNN much?

What percent of CNN's audience do you think is comprised of other news media types? I think if they didn't watch CNN to report on what they are saying every few minutes, CNN would have no audience at all.
Well there’s every airport in America running CNN 24/7 which I suspect gives them some added ratings....

I hope the day comes when we hear Wolf say --- ' Live on the phone with us from Cumberland Federal Correctional Institution, Cellblock 2, is inmate and CNN contributor Andrew McCabe.'

As we can plainly see, the embarrassing demise of CNN is also Trump's fault. Cuz Brian Stelter said so.

CNN: Our ratings would be higher if trump wasn't killing viewers by the millions

Heh, heh...heh, heh...

Trump has played CNN like a fiddle, it's great.

CNN hates the United States.

All the cable TV news outlets have an old median age of viewer. Older people are watching TV news and more older people are conservative. There are old liberals watching CNN and MSNBC, just not many of them.

Young, liberal women get their news from a source like Jezebel.

I have what is now called AT&T tv which was direct tv now before it changed. When I turn it on I can see what I last watched. All of a sudden CNN turns up in these tiles while we never watch it anymore...I assume same kind of google thing to try to get you to watch it...not happening.

In the past we watched all channels to stay up with what was broadcast and to make our own opinion.

We still have our own opinion but with the lies of CNN as we literally cant watch CNN longer than 2 min so why bother.

I’m 33 and remember when CNN was a news network. Now it’s 24/7 anti trump. There is a lot going on in the world, but you wouldn’t know by watching CNN. They don’t even attempt to have real conversations or dialogue in regards to news. It’s all opinion hosts slamming those they disagree with and praising those with like thinking. Instantly makes me change the channel. Not surprised ratings are down.
