CNN's Decline

There are a number of things in life that I do not understand such as quantum entanglement, time dilation and women. However, what really mystifies me is why CNN, a former world-class news organization, would choose to alienate half of its audience by siding with the Democrats and their anti-Trump agenda instead of just reporting the news factually and not make it up.

CNN’s prime-time ratings plunged 26% in April - the cable news network’s worst month for total viewers since October 2015, according to Nielsen Media Research. The network suffered a 41% slide in viewers aged 25 to 54 - the demographic most coveted by advertisers. And not one of its prime-time shows finished in the top five for news.

CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” which airs during the network’s highest-rated hour, finished in 26th place. Their prime-time viewership fell to No. 15 - behind ESPN, Hallmark Channel, History, TBS and others (how embarrassing). I have to wonder how management is able to keep their jobs given these numbers.
