  1. CNN has become boring, even to the least intelligent.. The same guests with the same opinions.. It is Ground Hog day @ CNN…..They could just replay yesterdays production & some viewers would not know the difference… Even a Soap Opera on steroids will fail when the plot becomes boring….

  2. Fox loves to gloat about how their viewership numbers are far superior to CNN’s and even MSNBC’s.

    Maybe CNN’s numbers might be even lower if Fox and Breitbart would stop citing them as a source on stories that otherwise do not involve CNN. They should be friggin’ ashamed of themselves for this practice.

    1. Fox should stop gloating. A significant number of my conservative friends in the US have been turning them off.

      1. Me included. OAN is my News source now. Both Fox and Drudge have swallowed the koolaid

  3. Without taxpayer money (q.v. CBC) or globalist oligarch money (q.v. WaPo) to prop it up, it’s not a matter of if CNN will fade to black, but whether it will happen during Trump’s presidency.

    The only question left is whether they’ll play the video Ted Turner reserved for the end of the world before signing off. CNN staff must know by now that they’re on a sinking ship.

    Nearer, my God, to Thee…”

    1. A.C., today I channel surfed, off and on, onto the two cartel news networks — CBC and CTV — and both corrupt broadcasters are leading their July 4th shows by railing against Trump’s military parade, interviewing only outraged Democrats and U.S. media types. We live in Stalin-esque times, with full blown propagandists running the show.

  4. Kate, thanks for the good-news post on CNN News.

    I am puzzled as to CNN’s business decision to tilt extreme left, and lose ratings. ESPN tried that a few years ago, and after a massive drop-off even the left-wing corporate suits there decided to back away with their leftist business plan. But CNN Jeff Zucker has continued with his far left effort, and the Time warner, and AT&T, owners have chosen not to fire the corrupt CEO.

    But why? Last week I was shopping at our Sobey’s supermarket with my wife, and finished my half of the shopping first. To kill time while waiting for her, I was reading dead-tree magazines out of the magazine rack near the cash registers. I grabbed the most recent issue of TIME magazine, and as a cover story they did a fluff piece on Elizabeth Warren, a leading presidential contender for the Democratic Party. I glanced at the article inside, and all it was was a pro-Warren kiss-piece. The magazine issue itself is painfully thin, practically devoid of advertising. I could only wonder at how TIME — since its heyday in the 1950s — had deteriorated to what it is now. It is a ghostly shell of its former self.

    Then it struck me about what TIME is doing. It puts its favorite contender on the cover, knowing how few people actually read its propaganda, just so shoppers can see her face on its cover, while passing by magazine racks. It’s good advertiding for her. To TIME’s corporate suits, it is worth it to run the magazine into the ground, just to serve the Democratic Party. Similarly, CEO Jeff Zucker is perfectly willing to run CNN into the ground, just in order to see the Democratic Party win in 2020. I can see no other rational reason why CNN is being destroyed by its corporate heads.

    1. CNN’s plan was to ride the Trump-Russia connection all the way to the impeachment and resignation — if not criminal prosecution — of Trump. Zucker was imagining who would play his role in the resulting movie. Brad Pitt with a shaven head, perhaps?

      There might still be movie, but the ending will feature a caretaker shutting off the lights as he locks up CNN’s expensive new offices for the last time.
