Bill Maher Rips CNN  Which Airs His Show  for Not Focusing Enough on the News: Too Much Opinion'
"Maher the son of an NBC Radio reporter said that shouldn't be the prime objective. News organizations shouldn't be making money to begin with. They didn't used to. CNN just finished third again in the cable news battle in April, when it was trailing MS NOW and getting lapped by Fox News. On the bright side, CNN pulled just under 1 million viewers in prime time, which was a major increase from the approximately 600,000 it averaged the year prior."
CNN is criticized for moving away from factual reporting toward opinion-driven talking head shows. Bill Maher said he misses the earlier version of CNN that reliably delivered stories. Donna Brazile agreed that CNN should focus on hitting the news and the facts. The remarks came after Sen. John Fetterman complained that media has become “slop,” and after Rep. Dan Crenshaw argued that media companies cannot profit by only sticking to news. Maher responded that news organizations should not treat profit as the primary goal. CNN recently placed third in cable news viewership, though prime-time audiences increased compared with the prior year.
