For me, it was as simple as "I already have access to FREE news sources without commercials that are higher quality than CNN"

My Roku has channels like SkyNews and Al Jazeera where I can watch both live and pre-recorded stories at no charge. No commercials either. They of course, have their own bias problems, but since I know what those are, I can take any stories on affected topics with an appropriate grain of salt.

I don't know why CNN thinks I would pay them when better is available free.
