==Ratings plunge==
Although CNN was once the dominant network on cable news and one of the highest rated channels on cable television, this is no longer the case. In overall ratings, CNN is usually second place behind [[Fox News Channel]] but ahead of MSNBC.<ref>[http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2014/12/30/cnn-ends-2014-firmly-ahead-of-msnbc-full-release/]</ref> At times its ratings fall below that of [[Hallmark Channel]] and its endless [[Christmas film]] reruns.
CNN was successful until around 2001, when [[Fox News]] began beating it in the ratings. Since then it has been failing (even with a near monopoly position in airport terminal broadcasts), with June 2019 primetime ratings (the most watched period for television when stations can command premium prices for advertising) not even making the top 10, falling below not only the conservative-oriented Fox News, but ultra-left-wing [[MSNBC]], HGTV (which broadcasts reality shows pertaining to home improvement and real estate), and even [[Hallmark Channel]] which was running endless reruns of "chick flick" romance films.<ref>https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/basic-cable-ranker-week-of-june-3/405417/</ref> In daytime it ranked #6, but again fell below Fox, MSNBC, HGTV, and even kid-oriented Nickelodeon and true-crime oriented Investigation Discovery (though it did beat out Hallmark Channel in this time slot).
By February 2014, CNN's average number of total viewers during the day from Monday to Sunday was 307,000 with 96,000 in the key 25 to 54 viewing demographic.<ref>[http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/february-2014-ratings-cnn-down-in-total-day-primetime_b214931]</ref> In 2013, the network fell to a 20-year low in primetime ratings and experienced its second-lowest year ever in the 25 to 54 viewing demographic. That year, CNN also experienced its lowest total-day audience since 1992, and its lowest total-day 25 to 54 audience since 2000.<ref>[https://www.businessinsider.com/jeff-zucker-cnn-ratings-2014-1]</ref> 2014 closed out with CNN having all-time ratings lows. In primetime, the network suffered its worst-rated year in total viewers and its second-lowest in the 25 to 54 viewing demographic. In total day, CNN received its worst-rated year in the key demographic.<ref>[http://deadline.com/2014/12/cable-news-ratings-fox-news-channel-wins-13th-consecutive-year-1201338131/]</ref> In May 2018, CNN's viewership fell 30% compared to the previous year.<ref>Nolte, John (May 16, 2018).

Retrieved May 16, 2018.</ref>
Beginning in the first half of 2017, CNN's market share relative to its competitors has seen a marked decline.<ref>[http://www.dailywire.com/news/18088/death-spiral-along-its-credibility-cnn-ratings-john-nolte Death Spiral: Along With Its Credibility, CNN Ratings Collapse], Daily Wire, 2017.</ref> Additionally, it faced repeated losses of credibility through its absence of journalistic standards and ethical lapses.<ref>

==History==
[[File:Image 2021-01-14 221715.png|right|300px|thumb|Anderson Cooper promoting [[BLM]] domestic terrorist [[John Sullivan]]. In January 2021, Sullivan incited and led a riot into the [[U.S. Capitol]].<ref>https://youtu.be/s7apy0uLGFs</ref>]]
CNN was founded by media mogul Ted Turner and made its debut on June 1, 1980 as the first 24-hour news network.<ref>[http://www.turner.com/about/corporate_history.html]</ref>
During its early years it struggled to achieve the success and credibility of older news agencies, such as the news divisions of ABC, NBC, CBS, and [[BBC]]. However, it achieved a great deal of recognition during its coverage of the first Gulf War during which it was the only news agency reporting during the initial night of the war. These events led to a movie, ''Live from Baghdad'', which portrays the events. In September 2010, head of its U.S. network Jon Klein was fired.<ref>[http://writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/Coursetexts/gulf-war-arnett.html]</ref> Ted Turner has sold CNN to Time Warner. Turner, a [[far-leftist]], spent his fortune, not creating jobs, but buying land so he could ride his horse from Canada to Mexico.
In January 2017, after a long string of false news reporting, exaggerations, and outright lies spanning months, President-Elect [[Donald Trump]] refused a question from the organization in a worldwide televised press conference, declaring, "You are [[fake news]]."<ref>https://youtu.be/G6RHIhn_T6w</ref>
CNN harassed the widow of [[CCP virus]] [[whistleblower]] [[Dr. Li Wenliang]], putting her under the threat of greater mistreatment from the communist [[totalitarian]] regime.<ref>https://hotair.com/archives/ed-morrissey/2020/04/24/cnn-say-lets-drop-unannounced-wuhan-whistleblowers-widow-see-shell-talk/</ref>
