CNN ratings having declined to where CNN is behind MSNBC, may have caused some to decide they need to move to the middle to survive. The moonbat lefties watch MSNBC. The Right had been watching FOX, (whose ratings have been going up), but FOX is alienating many with its pro-Romney partisanship. This may be a window of opportunity for CNN to grab for the independent share by being more "fair and balanced".
Good analysis.
A savy businessman at CNN should see an opportunity here to exploit the weak appeal of Mitt Romney ... gain viewership by appealing to conservatives, thus splitting the Republicans. This would work towards its overall goal of getting Obama re-elected.
