George Zimmerman did something John King could not...he raised CNN's ratings. 

The cable net saw big ratings gains during the Zimmerman trial and especially right after the verdict.

On Monday CNN had two exclusive interviews related to the George Zimmerman trial verdict, lead by Anderson Cooper's interview with a Juror from the trial.

But with the Zimmerman case over and now all the cable nets just fanning the racial flames, CNN has slipped back in the ratings.  

Wednesday's numbers show that CNN fell back to 3rd place in prime time. 

FNC: 2,197,000 in P2+ (416,000 in 25-54)

MSNBC: 734,000 in P2+ (241,000 in 25-54) 

CNN: 575,000 in P2+ (219,000 in 25-54)

It might be time to order up another trial of the century. 

Haven't we had like 8 of those over the past few years?
