KISS’ Gene Simmons Thinks CNN’s Just ‘Given Up’ and Fox ‘Won’
KISS frontman Gene Simmons has always been somewhat politically outspoken, and today on Twitter he opined on the downfall of CNN and said that in the cable news wars, it appears that Fox News has won.
CNN/HLN have given up, and Fox, it seems, has won..CNN has quit hard news. It's all Bourdain food & Forensic File shows..Pathetic

Simmons got in a few subsequent Twitter spats about it, and made it clear he has no dog in this fight, he’s just providing facts about news ratings (though he really defended Fox here).
