The question rises, why should CNN have a preferred seat at presidential press conferences? The Cartoon Network is more deserving. And Snopes, why would anybody consider that bunch as trustworthy and exuding integrity? Yet it's Wikileaks being the subject of scorn for doing what? Exposing the truth which is a foundation of new journalism, something CNN and the other alphabets forgot. CNN RATINGS HIT ALL TIME RECORD LOW Published: December 26, 2016 CNN, the network so thoroughly exposed by WikiLeaks as a propaganda mouthpiece of the establishment, have recorded their lowest ratings since records began. For the week ending December 18, CNN ranked a lowly number 18 for total viewers per day for ad supported cable networks. CNN was beat out by channels such as The Cartoon Network and Home And Garden TV Network. Viewers obviously decided The Cartoon Network is closer to reality than what CNN pumps out. Perhaps most embarrassingly, The Food Network had more daily viewers than CNN. How the mighty have fallen. For primetime viewers CNN did not even rank in the top 25. CNN is falling apart, which is nice to see given they are an establishment run propaganda channel exposed by their former staff as accepting cash to play what amount to informercials for foreign dictators. All these propaganda sites are being found out – like Snopes, whose owner is accused of embezzling money, spending hundreds of thousands on prostitutes, and has now married one. His new wife, who now works for Snopes as their administrator, was a high-end escort until last year. She also has an extensive history as a porn star and once ran for office under the anti-Bush slogans, “re-defeat Bush” and “don’t get screwed again”. To think Snopes claim they are “ethical” and “neutral.” Once upon a time, the press held government’s feet to the fire as a rule. Now it’s an occasional minor exposé just so they can hold up something that resembles legitimacy for the year. The rest of the time it’s business as usual, lying, manipulating and ingratiating themselves with the ruling elite – attempting to protect the establishment from independent, legitimate inquiry – so they can still have access and keep that sweet establishment shill money flowing in. |

Are you talking about the Owner of Snopes, or your wonderful new President - Elect? Hypocrisy, thy name is Republicanism. Republican Dictionary: Truth: Anything that suits the Right Wing Mantra. Fact or Fiction is irrelevant. |

Is Donald Trump mentioned at all in the article? Again Brew, you on the left need to do a better job of vetting.

Lying seems to always be the downfall of networks but sometimes it takes way too long for them to be exposed. |

I don't watch CNN and I can't say how good a news source it is but on the occasion that I read some item on their web site, they seem fair to me. Still, I don't agree with your premise that ratings should be the important consideration when determining what makes a reliable news source. We might as well choose "American Idol" to provide news. Re. Snopes founder David Mikkelson, his ex-wife makes certain allegations in their divorce proceedings. They may or not be true. Still, in the spirit of the season, I believe Jesus is said to have forgiven prostitutes. I don't know why they should be considered any more evil than your average CEO. |

Ratings is a large consideration for CNN Ima. Ratings tell us who people believe. Guess who is always on top? |

Let's review the article and put this again in perspective. CNN has lost it's credibility, viewers have wizened up, the network is not even in the top 25 prime time list. it is below the Cartoon and Gardening Networks as far as relevance. If you choose to use this as your news source than you should understand it sells it's influence (as if it has any left to sell) Clinton-like-pay for play. It has been outed as a propaganda mouthpiece of another fallen entity the democrat party, by Wikileaks. The choice is your Ima, I'm sure Colo and a few others here will agree with your choice. |
