CNN has slipped back into fourth place both in primetime and total day, in both viewership and the 25-54 demo, among cable news channels. If only Osama Bin Laden could be killed or world disasters could occur every week on schedule. John King USA 98k in the demo. Ouch.
On the other hand, HLN's rise looks likely to last only as long as the Casey Anthony trial. Feast and famine!
