First off , its not a "Free Republic Article". It's a News Max article. While CNN ratings have picked up, so has msnbc and Fox. Fox is still in first place by a substantial margin. Besides, during periods of breaking news --- like hurricanes, wars and terror attacks --- all the cable news outlets get a bump. CNN usually gets a slightly bigger bump in the ratings because liberals tune into their station of choice.
In addition. I didn't appreciate yopu responding to me with a dumb link that contained some of the same information I already posted to you. Next time try and defend yourself and not defend the liberal cnn.
