This Is CNN: Woeful Ratings, Just Not as Woeful as Last Year On the heels of 2010's primetime numbers, the worst for CNN in at least 15 years, CNN was up in 2011 with both advertiser targeted adults 25-54 and total viewers. But even with a 17% gain in total viewers and a 29% gain with adults 25-54 in primetime, 2011 was still CNN's second-worst rated year over the last 15.

Are they even a news outlet? Is 24hour coverage of the Republican primary news? The same goes for MSNBC. Fox is different. They seem to be the official outlet for radical rightwing propaganda. Does anyone know of a real source for real news of what's really going on in this nation?
