CNN has (essentially) committed suicide in the past 12 to 18 months. They spent a couple decades building a brand based on unbiased quality journalism and, while they did have issues with bias, they mostly remained non-partisan; at least compared to MSNBC and Fox. Over the past couple of years a large portion of experienced employees (who generally hid or balanced their biases) have left CNN and been replaced by a bunch of partisan hacks. Since a large portion of CNN's userbase were people who got their news from multiple sources and were looking for professional and unbiased news from CNN, their massive partisan shift alienated most of their userbase. |
That's because the CEO of CNN has been replaced by the CEO of HLN (Headline News).
Which is basically a more tabloidy MSNBC.
Funny part is... CNN often had the most viewers.
It happened.... whenever there was a story of National interest.
Essentially Moderates loved CNN... moderates and those who don't watch the news much.
