It would come as no surprise if CNN had experienced massive drop in viewership. They pretty much were the impeachment network even more so than MSNBC, and with Trump gone they really didn't know what to do and it shows. But 90%?
And all the scandals plaguing the network, many of which they ignored, hasn't helped.
So meh, or as I like to say to the toddlers when they’ve avoided an accident … Good for you!

Family Feud in syndication, running in the morning and early fringe beats the best of the best of FNC primetime.

However, what you are neglecting is that cable news exists in it's own little ecosystem. So, while it's ratings are small compared to other things, what is relevant is how it fares with it's more direct competition. So, while it's painfully obvious you are trying very hard to spin this negative news, it's definitely not good news for CNN.

One should always be extremely wary on press releases from networks either bragging about their own ratings or saying others are doing poorly. They are very adept at spinning numbers by doing things like this.

News comes from newspapers.
If it's broadcast, it's either talking heads spouted half-formed opinions or carelessly collected factoids that can't be selected and googled to check or cherry-picked because they've got compelling video — and compelling because it presents an exaggerated impression. In any case, it's an opportunity cost, misinformation that actively prevents learning what's actually going on in the world by teaching things that just ain't so. If learning is hard, unlearning is twice that.
