I only started thinking about that recently. Their ratings which are in a freefall are largely propped up artificially to begin with. Another thing is that networks like CNN and MSNBC can't really be listened to on Satellite radio because they do so much "human interest" type reports that don't work on radio because its constant dead air. If you try to listen to MSNBC it's mostly that prison show. MSNBC can't even maintain ratings with super cheap to produce reality tv shows.
It's a crazy thing to think about what CNN was when it started and what they are now. They used to be the news authority. Now they are basically drama based reality tv without an interesting cast.
