    But… why? I am honestly baffled as to the business reasons behind the decision. I don’t think people are sick of propaganda. People love propaganda.

    But it’s hard for me to say you are wrong, also, simply because like I say I have no idea what the thinking behind it is.

      My only guess would be people can get better propaganda elsewhere and the CNN propaganda was supposed to fly under the radar as coming from a “real” news station. CNN has had various stories about right-biased reporting which actually damages their brand, unlike Fox where the target audience is all in.
