It's kind of sad how bad CNN has become in the last 18 months.

I'd say it's been longer than 18 months. Cable news has been a cesspool for decades now (at least since 9/11). It's entertainment to them and you can see how giddy they get with excitement whenever a mass shooting breaks out.
Local news is usually just local journalists who's broadcasts come across more as a "public service" than variety show.
