Jeff Zucker’s first year at the helm of CNN produced mixed results for the channel. The good news for CNN comes in total day, where the network edged out MSNBC to come in second for the first time in two years. The bad news: CNN was third in primetime, posting its lowest 8-11pmET ratings in 20 years.

DNCnbc had already sanked to the bottom.

Reminds me of this:

Whenever I think I've come to the bottom of the media's ability to
snorkel deep inside the holding tanks of overheated Port-O-Sans, I
find there are always previously unseen depths where they lurk.

I had the displeasure of watching CNN in a hospital while waiting to visit a member of the church who was in an accident. I have never had cable so perhaps my lack of tv addiction colored my reaction, but... My impression is that CNN is porn for liberals, it rots out their minds with irrational emotional unicorn logic, inflames their lusts, destroys families, sows discontent for the things they should be grateful for and destroys any chance at normalcy in their life. I have never seen such distortion, twisting and outright misrepresentation. David Leisure was more truthful in the old “You have my word on it” Isuzu ads. CNN should come with a NC-17 rating and a disclaimer that their broadcasts are a fictional reality show set to resemble a legitimate news format.

Both are owned by cable companies.

So the main goal is to impart doctrine, not make money.

Is there a web site that posts the ratings of TV networks on a daily basis with graphs?
