(Photo by Chad Davis)Key Points CNN said coverage of two fatal shootings involving immigration officials in Minneapolis delivered its strongest prime-time performance since Election Night. The network ranked first in cable among adults 25–54 during protest coverage and logged one of its top audience days of 2026. CNN was the second-highest cable network among total viewers the day Pretti was killed, the network said, citing data from Nielsen. A hostile counter-bid made by Paramount Global would see the entirety of WBD acquired by that company, including CNN.
