I received several tweets today from Varios commentators and news sources. All had, what was for me, sad news. The once mighty CNN was barely hanging on. The stats were terrible. overall they rated 15th. One report mentioned that TLKC, ID channel and Hallmark channel were ahead of CNN in ratings and CNN was in 15th place overall.
I remember staying glued to it when the first gulf war was underway. I watch it and Fox News during the 2nd Gulf war. Now I'm not sure where it is on my cable service.
Reporters I thought were honest and unbiased (Wolf Blitzer, Christian Ammonpur (Spelling??) for example) are now shills for the far left.
It makes me sick to think how much has changed in such a relatively short time.
The mighty have fallen low and don't appear to know how to get back up.

    Same here.

    During my oversees trips I always tuned to CNN for update.

    Now I never do. Last time I tuned to them was years ago, can't even remember when.

    CNN turned to a voice of leftist propaganda as soon as Ted Turner sold it to Time Warner in '96. It just took a few years for that to become obvious. Jane destroyed Ted and Time Warner destroyed Ted's productive work.

    I used to watch the TV news a little because they were on at the gym. I thankfully switched to a gym with no TVs. I always thought the corporate media had a rightwing bias. I never had a subscription to full cable, so I only saw them incidentally. When I saw them a few years ago at that gym, it just seemed like crap, not biased, but just empty calories.

    Those news channels replaced the evening news paper, and now media outlets on the Internet are replacing them.
