Don't watch 'em, and couldn't care less for them, but it is amusing to read how their viewership is essentially collapsing along with their credibility. Couldn't happen to a more deserving group of Socialist media shills. Good riddance.
excerpt:
"Per several reports, Zucker and Gollust allegedly advised then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) – the older brother of then-CNN anchor Chris Cuomo — on what to say during his COVID-19 daily briefings in the spring of 2020. They also reportedly told Cuomo how to respond to and how to criticize Trump, to make it more compelling TV. (Gollust is a former communications director for Andrew Cuomo.)
In the spring of 2020, the country was in a horrific place. Businesses shut completely; people were scared. There were no COVID-19 therapeutics, no vaccines. Hospitals were overwhelmed, thousands were dying each day. If ever there was a time for news organizations to educate and inform the public, this was it. Instead, Zucker apparently believed it was the perfect time to exploit the situation for political gain and to help the network's ratings."
...conclusion
"The collapse of CNN is now complete: 9 out of 10 viewers, gone. Its top-rated anchor, Chris Cuomo, gone. Its network president, gone. Its integrity in shambles".
In other words...they let their bias control their ethics (or lack of them) and now the chickens have come home to roost.
CNN’s collapse is now complete
In 2013, the network hired former NBC Universal President Jeff Zucker to take the reins as ratings continued to be below average at best.
