Ratings have been released for cable news channels or cable channels in general and it looks like CNN is not doing too well

Which is interesting considering they've profited off of what's called the Trump bump right the Trump bump for those that aren't familiar

Is this idea that constantly talking about Donald Trump in a negative way is going to generate a lot of traffic for you and

It does and a lot of companies seem to have embraced this so it's confusing then to want to see

CNN actually doing really really bad now a lot of people are probably cheering saying that this is a good thing that CNN is

Doing bad a lot of people don't like them they call them fake news

But I'm going to argue that it's actually a really really bad thing and there's a couple examples as to why

Fox News is doing ridiculously well and MSNBC is also doing ridiculously well

And what this shows us is that the divide among Americans is getting more and more extreme

CNN might be partisan opposed to Trump, but look they are more balanced than MSNBC and Fox News granted again

They lean left and they hate Trump and personally. I think CNN is heavily biased

But they're a lot better than MSNBC

So I'm not saying CNN deserves to survive or Fox News or MSNBC shouldn't be doing well

But this is just an example that these companies are they're working off of the partisan divide

And as we see Fox News and MSNBC grow as we see more partisan news outlets start to a mass

Power and wealth it just means that real and honest reporting is going out the window

Why do I think CNN is doing bad? I think they're doing bad because

partisanship

Works and CNN for a long time was kind of dry and now they're chasing this narrative while still trying to be news

And it doesn't work they end up being a Trump

The arrangement syndrome network where all they do is rag on Trump and thus

It's not going to work very well
