CNN: The Rise & Dramatic Fall of America’s First Cable News Network

CNN experienced a meteoric rise in the 1980s and 1990s. When CNN was being led by Ted Turner...the network was known as the most trusted name in news...while being the industry leader in cable news coverage. However...over the last two decades...CNN has seen a rapid decline.

We discuss the rise and fall of CNN...and what ultimately led to the decline of the network. We compare the early days of CNN with Bernard Shaw and Larry King...to the modern CNN led by Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon. We discuss the lost credibility at CNN over the last two decades...and question if CNN is capable of rising again.
