Parody and satire have officially died many deaths these past few years (along with the field of journalism), but the Washington Post is among outlets that continue to swing a club at it anyway:
Under network president Jeff Zucker, CNN’s once studiously neutral team now call out politicians, share their feelings and occasionally cry on air. It doesn’t seem to hurt ratings. https://t.co/RCTBBnyxV3

Wow, there’s a whole lotta “journalism” to unpack there!
"Studiously neutral" and "doesn't seem to hurt ratings"? This is gaslighting on steroids. https://t.co/i0tRSfI10W

Your tweet of the day, particularly for the last sentence and the part about calling out politicians, as if Democrats are remotely equally called out as Republicans. https://t.co/JLv8wEDqU3

We’re not sure what claim is more hilarious — the ratings part, or “once studiously neutral team.”
Umm have you seen CNN’s ratings? https://t.co/tsMTRIYzyL

Sure. Nearly twice the population of Cronkite's Day, but 3% of his ratings. GOING GREAT. https://t.co/33NnJcPXoy

“Doesn’t hurt ratings”. Translation: they couldn’t get any worse https://t.co/plzpH8zG2i

Their ratings are literally down 2/3rds.

Can’t hurt your ratings if you have none to begin with. pic.twitter.com/yiqmM35LPd
