CNN's Double-Digit Decline in Ratings
Via Drudge
CNN posted steep viewer losses during the month of February, slipping 21% in primetime and 16% overall, according to Nielsen Media Research.
I wonder how their top brass will try and spin this one. They'll probably blame it on President Bush's reelection saying that the U.S. has become a nation of right wing nut-jobs who are too stupid to be interested in un-biased news.
Or perhaps they'll paint themselves as victims. I can just imagine how they'll go on about how they're being lynched on the internet by fanatical right wing bloggers.
Yet they can't get it through their thick heads that interviewing families of terrorists/suicide bombers is NOT news, and by doing so, they're in essence putting those people on the same moral footing as the victims.
