The solution is simple. CNN should fire all their live reporters and hire a bunch of animators. Then have cartoon characters report the news. This has been done successfully elsewhere.

In the sea of liberal media outlets, the only mainstream network going against the grain continues to dominate the ratings.
July marked the 25th consecutive month that Fox News was the most watched cable network (overall), averaging 1.4 million viewers in the day, and 2.4 million in prime-time.
A new analysis shows that when it comes to the networks reach, those viewers are just the tip of the iceberg. According to the Conservative Tribune, “FOXNews.com beat out other top brands such as CNN.com, NewYorkTimes.com, and WashingtonPost.com in terms of engagement and time spent on the site by individual readers. That revelation came from analytics data compiled in July 2018 by “comScore,” which showed that Fox had obtained roughly 1.5 billion total multi-platform views as compared to 1.4 billion garnered by CNN. In addition, Fox also bested CNN for the fourth month in a row in terms of total page views, as Fox received about 1.45 billion compared to CNN’s approximately 1.22 billion total page views.”
Overall, Fox’s total multi-platform page views are up 21%. Fox beat-out the New York Times by 457 million page views by that metric, and the Washington Post by 887 million. In terms of unique viewers (as opposed to page clicks), Fox has 89.5 million of those. While Fox is the 48th most visited website in the U.S., it ranks third when traffic is measured only by unique visitors.
CNN, meanwhile, started out the year by laying off 50 people due to their rating slide. The slide has been so severe that CNN is now being defeated in the ratings by children’s cartoons. While CNN had 535,000 average daily viewers at the time of our reporting (July), Nickolodean (home of Spongebob Squarepants) drew in more viewers. Not only was CNN bested by Spongebob, they were also beaten in the ratings by HGTV, USA, the Food Network, TLC, Hallmark, and many, many more. All those networks also beat out MSNBC in the ratings.
Personally, I wasn’t even aware Hallmark had their own television channel, but when CNN and MSNBC are getting beaten by a birthday card company, perhaps its time they rethink their programming.
CNN is a cartoon.
CNN is essentially a cartoon network.
It’s just not as good as other cartoon networks.
Wow, getting beaten by animated fictional TV Shows and the despised Fox News Channel has to be embarrassing. ..
Their ratings will improve when they show video of their “talent” cleaning out their desks and vacating the building as CNN goes out of business.
LOL, more people watch Sponge Bob than Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon. LOL.
The most trusted name in news?? Is that still true if nobody watches that channel?????
I think they mean other cartoons.
Cartoon News Network
If you watch CNN or masnbc about once a month for three minutes you will be up to date.
Russia Russia Russia stormy Stormy Russia Russia Russia

CNN - .53mm viewers.
Neither seem to be doing well
LOL Stormy Daniels news.
Her attorney was on CNN so much, it was almost as if he had his own show.
.
Cartoon National Nutwork!
.
I like cartoons
CNN might be laughable but they most definitely are not a cartoon
Cartoons teach patriotism, right from wrong, good vs evil, and they amuse
.
Russia Russia Russia,
Get that great new toothpaste,
With that great new flavor,
Its dandy for your teeth!
I don’t doubt the ratings, for Fox.
What I don’t understand is why Fox continues to insist on replaying the failed cable channels talking heads babble.
If it weren’t for Fox replays, these outlets would have next to NO viewers.
It was actually Sponge Bob who stole the election.
CNN needs a reboot—Get more balance—Hire back Glen Beck—Hire Matt Drudge. Get rid of Lemon —Send the Memo—Trump bashing must be limited to only 60% of coverage. More up beat talk. America must get BETTER! Better Deal for America! The Democrats need to do this as well. More JFK less Hillary Clinton/Obama.
