According to the reports, CNN worked really hard to get rid of Donald Trump, however, ended up being their number one source of content.
On Sunday, the news network produced 19 articles about Trump by 5 pm, Eastern Time. On the same day, they produced 24 Biden articles and half of those mentioned Trump.
The main reason for Trump media coverage is that CNN’s ratings have crashed since Trump left office even though the network spends a bulk of their time on all topics related to Trump.
According to Business Insider, he network averaged 2.5 million primetime viewers between the day after the election— November 4, 2020 and Inauguration Day. Since Inauguration Day, the network received an average of 1.6 million viewers daily.
The network’s unhealthy obsession with the former President could have more to do with their political obsession and more to do with their quest to bring back anti-Trump viewers.
This comes after a network producer said the network was actively engaged in political sabotage of the former President, directed by Jeff Zucker himself.
