Trump Leaves, CNN Grieves
Network Suffers Post-Impeachment Ratings Dive
Fox News Back on Top
"Donald Trump was the best thing to happen to CNN since Operation Desert Storm. The network's esteemed president, Jeff Zucker, understood that his target viewers weren't very interested in actual news and successfully pivoted to nonstop, Trump-fueled outrage.
Now that Trump is gone, banned from Twitter, and no longer on trial (again) in the Senate, the venerable "news" network is struggling to find a profitable source of outrage. As you might expect, Trump's absence from the national discourse has been terrible for ratings.
In Trump's absence, CNN has pivoted to a new obsession: black-on-Asian crime. Because that's not a very woke storyline, the network has framed the issue as a series of "racist incidents targeting Asians" or "COVID-related attacks targeting Asian Americans." Few details about the alleged attackers are provided so as to allow viewers to use their imagination and leave open the possibility that Trump supporters are somehow to blame. "
