. . .
Ultra-Woke CNN may be doomed. Seems like everyone just
skips the channel now, and their vastly over-partisan
treatment of the elections may have been the final nail.
I'd suggest NewsNation instead.
I don't watch any of the "news and opinion" networks.
I did watch CNN during COVID out of morbid fascination with their banner
showing the ongoing Trump Death Count.
And did you notice that when Biden was elected, the COVID death count banner
disappeared?
Of course you didn't.
I was fishing for EC vote counts on election night. CNN
had a nice chart. But, ODDLY, the minute Trump was about
to pull ahead the feed just STOPPED :-)
That doesn't surprise me. They need to support the far left agenda at all costs while at
the same time attack the conservatives and rarely if ever say anything positive about
them.
This is why the MSM is falling apart right now.
The people are finally realizing that they are being lied to. All the way from "Biden
is sharp as a tack" to Trump, Russia, the economy is doing great and dozens of other news items.
It's going to take a long time before the mainstream media is trusted again.
The (few) centrist/conservative bits of the MSM may not
be all SO much more trustworthy alas. They all pick
their side, their theme, the 'reality' they want to
build.
They too push their agenda but the main difference I see is that they tend
to have shows with people from both sides and also guests that are liberal
as well.
CNN has gotten better in that regard but it seems they try to ambush the
conservative guests and it never ends well as they end up getting their
clocks cleaned.
But at least they are trying.
MSNBC?
Forget it. They push the same pablum and lies 24x7.

go on !!!
$$$$$$$$
And I suspect the brass are celebrating because 4 more years of attacking
Trump "might" bring back some viewers. I am skeptical though because the people
are tired of that attack Trump news 24x7.
And had Harris/Biden won, the news segment would be boring as hell just like they are.
Post by ***@ud0s4.netHowever all those modern 'podcasts' and such - they
can be just as, even more, biased. Thing is there
are so MANY of them that, I suppose if you checked
out 50+ a day, you might get an 'average' impression
closer to Truth.
Younger people I know get their news online and they have their favorites
but they are smart enough to differentiate between commentary/entertainment and news
and know where to go to listen to each.
At least there is a choice. A huge choice.
The last thing these younger folks will do is sit down in front of the telly and watch
CNN, MSNBC,Fox or any other legacy media.
Post by ***@ud0s4.netBut who has the TIME ? Ergo the PROBLEM. The MSM,
before it went full partisan, had a VALUABLE role.
There's nothing really to REPLACE that anymore.
The legacy media has become background noise.
People have it playing in the living room while they are cooking, working
doing chores etc.
At least that's my experience.
Post by ***@ud0s4.netLong back I coined the term "Dali-Ocracy" ... living
in a surreal world where ALL 'truth' is soft as Jello
and you can NEVER know what the fuck is going on or why.
This is bad, Bad, BAD.
Good one!
