CNN is now Fox

[Botany]

I have no idea who the host is now but good God in Butter:

To Charlie Christ, aren't you worried about all the anti Biden democrats?

Isn't the new cannabis laws going to cause a lot of people to turn to harder drugs?

The hit job on Biden by the PTB is on.

1. All cable news is lost to the wealth class.

A lot of buts, and, that being said, and some people say, after every Biden success story.

[Blue Owl]

2. Haven't watched one second of CNN the past 10+ years

And I’d advise others to do the same! Fuck that propaganda bullshit.

[BlueIdaho]

12. Same here

There is a reason TVs come with remote controls… CNN is pure garbage.

[Kaleva]

22. How do you know if you don't watch it?

[BlueIdaho]

25. I watched enough to last me a lifetime.

ymmv.

[orthoclad]

3. the new fox

Just the other day I speculated if the oligarchy is abandoning Rupert Moloch and his bundle of lawsuits from Dominion et al, and buying a substitute.

[Meadowoak]

4. CNN is dead to me.

[brooklynite]

6. But we can rely on folks watching regularly and complaining about how bad it is...

[Meadowoak]

11. Some people might not have many options. Especially with

A basic cable package. In order to get MSNBC, I have to get an upgraded tier.

[Kaleva]

18. About 95% of adults in the country don't watch cable news

Far more people watch the legacy broadcast news

[brooklynite]

5. No, but if it makes you happy to think so.....

[BlackSkimmer]

7. I keep reading threads like this, so I know that all the complainers are still watching.

Of course, a lot of people here seem to watch Fox too, so what difference does it make?

I'm really glad no one forces me to watch a certain channel at my house. Seems a lot of folks here are forced to watch certain channels. How awful for them.

[SheilaAnn]

8. Unwatchable is the only description I can think of. Such a change so quickly. Less viewership

might wake them up but no CNN for me until that happens.

[GuppyGal]

9. Yawn

[samsingh]

10. disgusting.

[Mr. Ected]

13. I bet if everyone turned off their set at the same time it would have a profound effect

We're apparently addicted to our fix of cable news, though, and unfortunately most people will continue to line up like sheep to graze on the manure they're spreading.

Remember, we have a choice. And watching none of it is a choice.

[Kaleva]

20. Just a tiny percentage, single digits, of adults watch cable news

[Elessar Zappa]

14. So don't watch.

Easy peasy.

[Botany]

15. I don't watch CNN very often but I was at a family member house and they had it on.

n/t

16. CNN literally promised the rethugs they are going hard right

this should surprise no one.

[BlackSkimmer]

17. Where and when did they make this promise?

And who made it?

Do you have a link to this “literal” promise?

[Takket]

28. here....

19. I saw that CNN's new CEO promised to go more right a few weels ago but tonight's hit piece on anti

.... Biden Democrats was shocking.

Licht also went to Washington to meet with Republican leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy, his counterpart at the House.

Licht would like to see more Republicans appear on CNN for meaningful interviews, not necessarily to be used by them to appear tough to supporters for standing up to hostility. There have already been small signs of success in recent weeks: appearances by South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and Texas U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw.

21. Chris Licht never promised that CNN was going right wing.

This is a pure invention.

At least CNN isn't being called a Nazi network (yet) on this thread.

[Botany]

27. Please

[Just A Box Of Rain]

29. Please.

Nothing in the linked article, which cities a far-right source as it's main source, says that Licht intends to turn CNN into a right wing media outlet.

23. Early this morning i was watching the news

and one of the anchors was talking about the tomorrow's rocket trip to the moon. I'm sure I woke a few people when she said this was a once in a generation trip since there were no trips to the moon in 50 years.
Silly old me thought a generation was 20 years but hey, WTF do I know.

[Kaleva]

24. LBN is my daily go to news source.

[Kaleva]

26. Instead of watching garbage, how about helping people less fortunate?

One could make a difference doing the latter

[JuJuChen]

30. all I know is stay the hell away from my weed

[LetMyPeopleVote]

31. CNN has turned to the dark side

Shutting down Reliable Sources was a good sign that CNN is going after Fox's audience
