CNN: The Worst TV Network Ever

CNN is the least-watched of the three cable-news networks, and Lemon's program "CNN Tonight" typically gets a little more than a million viewers, or less than a third of the audience for most primetime hours on Fox News Channel.

In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, the network outdid itself when CNN reporter Omar Jimenez stood in front of a burning building in Kenosha, above an onscreen chyron that declared, "Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests After Police Shooting." Yes, it was mostly peaceful, except for the looting and arson.

In 2010, one of Maureen Dowd's sources called Zucker "The most destructive media executive ever to exist." How he talked himself into the top job at CNN is a mystery, but no one is actually surprised by the network's failure since Zucker took over.

If you want good TV, you don't hire Zucker, and CNN is very bad TV. As bad as CNN's liberal bias is - and when Trump speaks of the media as "The enemy of the people," it's CNN's Jim Acosta he has in mind - mere politics is insufficient to explain the network's awfulness.

Every hour since the story went viral Sunday, CNN viewers have been told that a cop shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back, and the network portrays the "Mostly peaceful" protests as logical and necessary reactions to that.

Alas, if pointing out CNN's errors could stop CNN from getting worse, they might actually have gotten better by now, but the network seems to be beyond rescue.

Not even losing a defamation case to a teenager in a MAGA hat could cause them to contemplate the error of their ways and thus CNN is destined to retain their dubious distinction as The Worst Network Ever.
