CNN has been covering the impeachment hearings and everything leading up to them for weeks.
How has that worked out for them?
Not well. Their ratings are slipping even further.

CNN Hits Three-Year Ratings Low Amid Impeachment Drama
CNN posted its lowest primetime ratings in three years over the Thanksgiving holidays, while Fox News posted higher ratings than CNN and MSNBC combined.
Fox News averaged nearly 2.2 million viewers in primetime last week, including 303,000 in the coveted age 25-54 demographic, according to Nielsen Media Research. MSNBC averaged over 1.3 million viewers in primetime last week, with 187,000 in the 25-54 demographic, while CNN averaged just 643,000 primetime viewers, with 138,000 coming from the 25-54 demographic.
It was CNN’s worst primetime week in three years, and its worst week among the 25-54 demographic. The low ratings come as House Democrats have been conducting hearings on the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Tom Elliott of Grabien put together the video below, which shows various CNN hosts breathlessly talking about how “historic” this week was because of impeachment:

CNN didn’t like it, and had it removed from YouTube:
CNN had this supercut removed from YouTube … sensitive much? https://t.co/3NPy2X3M0m

Filed a counterclaim making that precise point. Youtube replied: "Unfortunately, it's unclear to us whether you have a valid reason for filing a counter notification, so we won't be able to honor your request.” Not sure if I care enough to keep fighting.

How much further can CNN sink?
