I'd say it changed it extremely negatively . Before CNN, the news was reported when it happened. AFTER CNN, creating "news" to fill the gaps between news actually worth reporting happened. This was the start of the slippery slope to the news being little more than entertainment.

Like reading an "internet forum" full of other period appropriate "humans".
