NEW YORK — While the votes were being tallied for the Democratic Party's surprising showing in the midterm elections, some CNN viewers may have been asking "Where's Wolf?"
Longtime CNN star Wolf Blitzer was not the lead anchor of CNN's prime-time election coverage for the first time since 2004, as Jake Tapper took over the reins along with Anderson Cooper. Blitzer was on during the afternoon well before the polls closed and gone by 4 p.m. Eastern.
Whether it's the anchor change or the growing tribal nature of the cable audience, with progressives flocking to MSNBC and conservatives sticking with Fox News — Tuesday was not a good night for CNN from a ratings standpoint.
