Part 7/14:
The Collapse of CNN and the Future of Mainstream News
CNN, once a dominant news network, has seen its ratings plummet—over 30% decline in recent years—largely due to its bias, sensationalism, and failure to adapt to new realities. High-profile layoffs, including Jim Aosta, highlight how the network’s attempt to maintain relevance is failing.
Former President Trump commented on CNN’s decline, celebrating the departure of figures like Aosta as signs that the old media is dying. The shift away from cable news toward alternative platforms and social media is reshaping information delivery, bypassing traditional gatekeepers.
