Now CNN is suing for access to the White House. They don’t try to explain why it is that nearly 2/3 of their audience went elsewhere in the past six years.

Before the ban, if they wrote negative stories about POTUS, they had to be careful to not get their press invitation revoked. This would perhaps compel them to biased reporting. But now that this threat has been carried out and is off the table, CNN is free to write negative stories about POTUS. They are now free! They can tell us what they really feel. This will surely cause their sagging ratings to rebound. Perhaps they can regain their place as the political news leader.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>spike<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
