Sassy and smarmy even after he's fired. A blind man could see this coming. I guess the hot mic on during the Jon Stewart segment was all they needed but it was coming anyway.

When CNN started to make that heel turn to be fox lite he should've known he was on borrowed time... Should've made his exit on his terms and not theirs
They are losing viewers daily and are far behind MSNBC and Fox, dumbass white people really think there are more conservatives in this country than it really is. This shyt is 15% conservative, 10% evil/hateful/brainwashed people. That shyt caters to the most disconnected and irrelevant folks as far as no rich mfers. Imagine only knowing about 1 way of life smh.

These news outlets know ppl ain't really watching, so paying millions to anchors is outdated somewhat. Especially when they do something wrong

Fox News still has some reason to bc their audience is older and less techy, but cnn probably gets more website/twitter views than actual tv.

That's not it. Its because the political discourse is more polarized.
CNN is still Center-Left in an era where being anywhere near moderate is a death sentence. So they really don't have a good target audience. And the areas that WOULD normally be their demos, they've been driven farther right or left. Anchors are still a vital part of the news casting experience. The issue is that Don was one of their highest paid anchors on a show that was floundering. CNN's didn't have a clue what to do after the Cuomo stuff. Because their evening lineup of Wolf Blitzer to Anderson Cooper to Cuomo to Don was working. But then Cuomo fukked up and ruined the formula.
Moving Don to that morning show was absurdity. Also, them trying to more MORE to the center trickled over to shyt like their New Years Eve shyt which was ASS if you didn't let Don and Anderson Cooper get drunk.

Basically, they couldn't hang with the Fox model of the hosts being ok with being the story while reporting the story. It's against a core journalistic tenant, but Fox isn't journalism.

I personally can't fukking watch MSNBC or Fox. And I still think CNN does election coverage better than anyone.
But for people like me who want even a modicum of civilized, measured non-biased news? The only thing we got is the AP/Reuters and they don't have a TV program.
