about the only thing it still covers well as news is a fast moving national disaster like a hurricane. Everything else on it is like a reality show with unreal prop people.

They're bleeding financially

I think they're making more $$ from Citizens United dough overflow going to the right

Keep the race "interestingly close". Do they ever think that they could actually hurt millions of people?

Lately they've been helping the GOP manufacture "scandals" like the Benghazi "coverup," Fast and Furious, "weakness" on Syria, "Obama didn't meet with foreign leaders at the U.N.," the Navy SEAL mother who complains that Obama hasn't called to tell her what happened in Benghazi like he said he would, etc. I usually turn it off after a few minutes now.

I like some of CNN's international reporters and Soledad has been doing a good job lately, but other than that I can't stomach their spin.

Not to mention, any "news" network that would have David Gurgen and Mary Matalin as pundits, is not worth my time!

quit not too long ago and whomever took over isn't doing a damn bit of difference.
