They'd probably be a little bit better. In fact, we know they would, because they were. They just hit a record low by kicking Trump around.

Just because you don't care doesn't mean the OP don't have the right to care. Things don't revolve around only the things you care about.

CNN is one of the main liberal media stalwarts. That is why their junk ratings makes news.

By constantly bashing Trump, they've pretty much confirm to many people that they are not a news channel but a Leftist propaganda outlet. They lost all credibility to most people except for a small hardcore Leftist audience.

I'm not talking about his/her "right" to care. I'm talking about logic. But thank you for illustrating my point.

Y'all constantly complain about the bias of "left-wing" media. But you seem to still watch it and care about it enough to not only KNOW their ratings are falling, but to take delight in it.

I'm left-leaning, and I couldn't care less about CNN. Or CBS. Or NBC. Or ABC. Because they're all fluff. Just like Fox News or whatever crap you guys watch is. I want substance, not fluff.

Exactly. Many of my left-wing peers and I (I work in a predominantly politically liberal field) cut cable and don't miss it a bit.

Because we can't help but wonder why anyone who routinely denounces CNN and other "liberal media" outlets cares enough about it to even know their ratings are falling. I didn't know that until I saw this thread.

But it doesn't surprise me. CNN's ratings are falling not because of "liberal bias," but because it's stupid fluff. Period.

I can't comment on their daytime stuff because I never watch it. Occasionally I see CNN in the evening.


Nothing against CNN per se, but some of their anchors.....


Wolf Blitzer...his best days were under the bed in the hotel room in Baghdad. Great reporting. Since then? Not so much.


Erin Burnett...I just don't understand that whole shtick. She asks a question, and while the guest is answering it she goes off into a haze or picks her nails or scratches an itch out of sight. It is really disjointed and weird. Maybe start with getting a decent hair cut (I know, snarky, but hey, it's the internet!).


Sort of like Andersen Cooper, but it is not exactly a probing interview.


Chris Cuomo....fake neutrality. Why hide it? Good at probing, but somehow it doesn't have any follow through. We all part friends.


Don Lemon. Sort of a lemon, isn't he? Or did he fall off the turnip truck?
