Commentary:
CNN’s plummeting ratings show that biased news coverage that attacks conservative values is no longer acceptable to viewers. The channel’s reliance on attacking former President Donald J. Trump for years has proven to be a failed strategy. Don Lemon’s misogynistic comments have not only damaged the network’s reputation but have also resulted in a significant decline in viewership. CNN needs to reassess its values and approach to news coverage if it hopes to win back the trust of its once-loyal audience. As passionate Republican voters, it’s important to support news channels that provide unbiased coverage and uphold the values of the American people.
