Is CNN beginning to reform itself after ratings tumble by double digits during impeachment coverage?

In 2018 I saw this assessment of news sources in a Ventura, CA school handout. TD

Thomas Lifson  "Something extraordinary happened yesterday: CNN’s fact-checkers called out lies by Democrat Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee and Veronica Escobar, twofer victim class members as female and  minorities.  Compounding the shock, the lies were about President Trump and aimed at impeaching the mother****r, as their Democrat colleague Rashida Tlaib put it so memorably following her election.

"Bronson Stocking of Townhall noticed the break with CNN’s existing editorial orientation:

In order to impeach the president, Democrats have to lie about the facts. It has now come to the point where even CNN is calling the Democrats out on their lies. 

Two Democratic representatives from Texas, Veronica Escobar and Sheila Jackson Lee, both lied during debate on articles of impeachment on Thursday about what President Trump said during his phone call to the president of Ukraine.

Rep. Escobar said President Trump told President Zelensky, "I want you to do me a favor though." 

Rep. Jackson Lee quoted Trump saying, "I would like you to do a favor though."

What Trump actually said was "I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot." The full quote makes it clear that Trump was asking the president of Ukraine to do "our country" a favor. 

"Keep in mind that CNN has meticulously kept its viewers ignorant of most things that would cast an unfavorable light on the efforts to impeach (or even say something positive about) President Trump. The network did not carry IG Horowitz’s testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, for instance.

"So, this bit of fact-checking is worth noticing, even if it didn’t happen on-air, but rather in CNN’s online Fact check:" . . .

Is CNN management finally starting to realize that they are committing slow motion suicide with their biased news coverage? Implicitly, the network has been counting on impeachment coverage to lift its ratings out the cellar, but it isn’t working out that way, but rather exactly the opposite.

No matter as long as these people are there at CNN. Their intentions and motives must be always in suspect.
