CNN is dying. Its president, Jeff Zucker, was just fired. (Or, rather, he “resigned.”) The network’s viewership is plummeting, and fewer than 500,000 people on average tuned in last month. (snip) What I Saw Behind the Scenes at CNN (snip) When you met Turner, with his smile, pencil mustache, and an unsurpassed ability to speak his mind, he instantly mesmerized you. I went to dinner a few times with him and then-wife Jane Fonda. In their Bugatti restaurant we had bison steaks and talked about his growing global news empire.
Turner could get angry and was even known to throw phones,

The FCC should revoke CNN's license.

Mr. Trump would indeed make a success of CNN. I would prefer “all news, all the time” without commentary. I tire of it from the left and right. Just give me the facts. Let me figure out what to think.

Extreme Leftism destroys everything it touches. The problem is, it is extremely seductive, promising easy solutions, through socialistic controls. It is all a lie but it takes time for the deception to become apparent. Like weight loss, people crave the easy, blame others, answers rather than doing the hard work and accepting personal responsibility for their fate. Even as Leftism corrodes all around it, it protects itself through demagoguery, ever expanding its extremism.
The article is a passionless history of CNN. It ignores the massive damage done by CNN's irresponsible Leftism and by those who follow in their footsteps. The founding Fathers saw the "press" as a guardian of our freedoms, rooting out the excesses of a powerful federal government. Between Constitutional protections and press scrutiny the Country would be protected against those seeking power. Therefore they protected the press Constitutionally.
The corrupted, Leftist press is now protecting the insanity of the Leftists. The current state of decline of the US in ONE YEAR, can be COMPLETELY laid at the feet of the democrats and their allies, yet the media tries to paint it as if it is just an unfortunate conjunction of events that US leaders are powerless against. That is a Leftist lie and CNN has ownership of it, along with most other media.
It's time to take out the trash.

FCC has no authority over cable, only broadcast programming. Besides, who wants FCC to regulate cable anyway?

Good read. Thanks for posting.
The end for CNN, sort of a Blockbuster end, is when cable companies refuse to pay CNN to carry their offerings. (Everyone, everywhere, indirectly pays CNN through our cable bills.)CNN would then become a premium channel, or die a silent death, like Blockbuster Video.
Discovery, by the way, which offers so much fake reality TV, may be the last clear sucker by buying CNN. But perhaps the homosexual anchormen approach appeals to them.

#5 reminds me of what Rush always said about liberalism (now leftism) - that it was the most gutless choice a person could make. It requires nothing but parroting the narrative. No personal responsibility, no accountability, no thought or evaluation.

Lou Dobbs? Wow. From CNN to Fox News to persona non grata. I realize that the First Amendment's intent is to protect the press from the government but it's unfortunate that the Founders didn't envision that "freedom...of the press" would some day be twisted into allowing that same to become the enemy of the people and Constitution it was intended to protect.

Haven't had cable for 14 years. Not one nickel of our money supports CNN.

Good article and interesting details about the start of CNN. As a Georgian, I always rooted for the Braves. They truly became “America’s Team’ with fans all over the country. This was, of course, long before they became a communist propaganda outfit.
