IS CNN now becoming a new Fox News type of outlet?

[Botany]

I woke up early and they had on two chyrons ..... around 5 AM

1) African Americans are no longer supporting the Democratic Party

2) Latinos are uncertain about Biden

Those are really rough quotes but it looks like the PTB are pushing for a republican win on Tuesday.

[claudette]

1. Yes

In my opinion. I don’t watch CNN any more

76. Just one piece of evidence: Why Republicans are gaining with less than a week to go (CNN)

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/11/02/politics/republicans-advantage-midterms-analysis/index.html

(CNN)

The Democrats’ hope to maintain control of at least one chamber in Congress comes down to Republicans blowing it. For a time, that looked quite plausible because of the unpopularity of the GOP brand at large and Republican candidates in specific races. But as we’re now less than a week from Election Day, the momentum is clearly on the Republicans’ side and the possibility of a Republican rout has increased.

Why? We’re dealing with a deeply dissatisfied electorate, which almost always means the president’s party is punished by voters. Take a look at a Gallup poll released on Tuesday. Just 17% of Americans say they were satisfied with the direction the country was going. That’s the worst in any midterm since at least 1982, when Gallup first measured satisfaction in a midterm.

Importantly, this satisfaction with the direction of the country is highly correlated with midterm outcomes in the House. In the midterms when more Americans are dissatisfied than satisfied with the direction of the country, the party that held the White House has lost an average of 33 seats. That jumps to 46 seats in a president’s first midterm.

If we look at seat totals instead, the party holding the White House ends up with 186 seats on average when more Americans are dissatisfied than satisfied in a president’s first midterm. This would be an over 35 seat loss for Democrats in the 2022 midterms. Never has the President’s party ended up with more than 204 seats when more Americans were dissatisfied than satisfied.

2. Yes.

[dchill]

3. It is their fondest dream.

[SheltieLover]

4. Yes, from what I've read.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

10. What you "read" isn't true.

[SheltieLover]

14. How would you know what I've read? Are you saying CNN isn't turning rwnj?

[Just A Box Of Rain]

25. Absolutely.

The "CNN is turning right-wing" is a viciously untrue conspiracy theory that originated with the ultra-right Free Beacon, then amplified by a reporter with the Daily Beast with a long history as the Executive Editor of the right-wing National Enquirer and multiple Murdoch owned rags.

Then it was pick up by the credulous far-left echo chamber.

But it is total bullcrap.

Just in the past week CNN had run a devastating series on right-wing extremism in America.

Don't believe everything you read.

[debm55]

42. Don't you trust we are intelligent enough to see the changes for ourselves? You don't need a weathe

man to see which way the wind blows at CNN.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

44. I dunno. I use my own mind.

And I've read countless posts from people who have basically said, "I don't watch, but that's what I've heard."

And I watched the conspiracy theory start.

It went viral on the "left" after it appeared in the Daily Beast (in an article from a reporter with long time right-wing ties) that used the Free Beacon (ultra-right) as his source.

I think people have fallen for a far-right conspiracy theory, including invented "quotes" (of things Chris Licht has never said).

Liberalism depends on an attachment to truth and reason, as far as I'm concerned.

[debm55]

61. And so do I. I base my conclusion on what I have observed from watching CNN. Because of that I

watch less and less. I am 67 years old and have been a faithful watcher of CNN since Turner started it, I have been around long enough to see the shift. How is it truth and reason to always say both sides do it, when it is just not true? Thank you.

[debm55]

85. That isn't what I asked you.I asked you if you think we are intelligent to watch and reach a

conclusion. By the way, theories are different then conclusions.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

90. I don't think the bogus conspiracy theory that CNN is "going fascist"

is based on people watching CNN.

It began with bogus claims made by an ultra-right source and got picked up w/o credulity.

[debm55]

94. Have you watched CNN lately? In all your posts you scold people but you never say that you watched

or are still watching. Asking for a friend.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

95. To the contrary, I mentioned watching an excellent series that CNN has been running

on the threat of right-wing extremism.

I try not to watch too much cable news, but have watched more CNN lately just to be sure the conspiracy theory is false.

[debm55]

96. Yes, you did mention that. But do you watch CNN daily to make any observations--like the anchors?

their guests? so you can come to your conclusion.

[Scrivener7]

49. Don't worry, dear. We don't believe everything we read.

[CatWoman]

91. LOL!!!

These threads serve as your Bat Signal

[Just A Box Of Rain]

92. Group think is sad, especially when it advances ultra-right conspiracy theories.

[Demsrule86]

23. Sure seems true...I heard the Black voters and Hispanic voters meme for days now.

[SheltieLover]

24. Sounds like it to me as well.

[FoxNewsSucks]

26. It's obvious to anyone who reads the news,

and watches any of it live or clips on the internet.

They do still have liberals, and some good programming. But look at what they present all day long, and how.

At times one certainly wonders how many corporate media employees post here, and if that's part of their job. . . .

[SheltieLover]

28. That's my take on it.

Did you read what just a box of rain wrote above?

[FoxNewsSucks]

29. Unfortunately, yes.

That defense is regular as clockwork on certain topics like this.

[SheltieLover]

32. Ah, ok. Tyvm.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

37. I hope you did.

Try Googling CNN and the (ultra-right) Free Beacon to find out where this bogus conspiracy theory started.

It is sad when supposed liberals get hoodwinked by MAGAts.

[debm55]

39. Do you watch CNN. I retired. Used to have it on all the time, especially during covid. As I said

down, the anchor are slyly slipping in the both sides do it. And sometimes not so slyly. What the daytime broadcast and the evening with Trapper. I swear Trapper must have a buzzer in his ear where he is told *say both sides are guilty of doing this. Because both sides are not guilty of doing it.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

40. Disd you watch the outstanding series they ran recently on right-wing extremism

in this country and its threat to American Democracy? It was outstanding.

[debm55]

41. I watched the Ken Burns documentary. Is that what you are talking about. If not the answer is no.

By the way that series was in production, It was more likely done before the change.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

43. No, the Ken Burns documentary ran on PBS.

As an aside, I was also accused of being in the employment of PBS as a social media shill last week by the same guy that suggests I'm working for CNN today. LOL.

The Ken Burns doc was a great.

CNN did a series of hard-hitting episodes on current right-wing extremism and the threat to American democracy that it poses recently. It was very well done.

[FoxNewsSucks]

50. So?

As has been pointed out to you, that documentary was already in production.

In any case, the occasional documentary or good liberal guest isn't the problem. It's the rest of what is happening at CNN, and corporate media in general.

That BS argument is like saying we should revere Liz Cheney because she hates MF45. Yeah, she's doing some good. But she's still Liz Cheney.

And CNN is still moving right and trying to shape public opinion in favor of the right. To all our detriment, because they are more subtle than the likes of NewsMax, therefore more influential to that group of Americans in "the middle".

[Just A Box Of Rain]

54. CNN isn't moving "to the right" and repeating falsehoods three-or-more times doesn't make it so.

[Scrivener7]

56. How about if you tell just one big whopper of a lie? Does that make it so?

[Just A Box Of Rain]

59. Like claiming I'm on your ignore list? LOL

Please make that a non-whopper.

[Scrivener7]

60. LOL. You were. But I kept getting replies that didn't show up. And that made

me curious so I logged out and looked. And then I found this pack of DAMN LIES from you.

So you mad you got caught in that DAMN LIE, bro?

STILL waiting for all those links to all those times I called you a Republican.

[DiamondShark]

97. CNN isn't moving "to the right."

You are correct in the first part. CNN took a hard right when the new CEO Chris Licht laid off multiple hosts.

Source Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Licht

After the abrupt resignation of CNN president Jeff Zucker in February 2022, Licht was named his successor on February 26, 2022.[19][20][21]

On his first day as chairman and CEO of CNN, Licht sent a memo to all employees saying, "Sadly too many people have lost trust in the news media. I think we can be a beacon in regaining that trust by being an organization that exemplifies the best characteristics in journalism: fearlessly speaking truth to power, challenging the status quo, questioning ‘group-think’ and educating viewers and readers with straightforward facts and insightful commentary, while always being respectful of differing viewpoints. First and foremost, we should, and we will be advocates for truth."[22] One such method involves limiting CNN's use of the term "breaking news" to stories that have a significant importance.[23] Licht has expressed a desire to change negative perceptions of CNN among Republicans.[24]

In late 2022, Licht received criticism as CNN terminated the contracts of several long-time correspondents including Brian Stelter, John Harwood and Jeffrey Toobin.[25] The Washington Post described the moves "as the latest evidence of a shift to a less politically charged tone under new leader Chris Licht."[25]

It is hard to imagine more welcome words from an incoming president of a cable news network.

what good liberal Democrats should hope to hear. At least as far as I'm concerned.

I want great journalism. CNN has needed improvement for a long time.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

102. New York Post? I'm not sure what you are talking about, frankly.

116. Not going to link ultra-right sources.

Then check Lachlan Cartwright's article at Daily Beast that used this ultra-right publication as its source.

The conspiracy theory was launched there.

[FoxNewsSucks]

48. I ascribe nothing, but you read plenty though.

Also, if it were someone's job to go to message boards and argue on behalf of their employer, why would that be an "ugly motive"?

As long as I didn't have to lie and try to convince people the opposite of what they are plainly seeing for themselves, I'd think that would be a good job.

Personally, I think lying in support of corporations, media influencers and polluters should be against the TOS.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

57. I don't work for CNN or PBS as their corporate shill.

Your suggestions to the contrary are are patently false.

What is your purpose here? Can't be to engage in a friendly fashion with other Democrats.

Cut the crap.

[Scrivener7]

58. Cut the crap you say? Others are lying, you say?

Any progress on finding those links?

[FoxNewsSucks]

63. As you know, I made no such suggestion.

Nor would I consider it "ugly" . I don't know who you think accused you of working for PBS or why that is brought up in a thread about CNN, but you should take that up with them.

I'd suggest a memory-refreshing review of your own posts first though.

Good day!

[Just A Box Of Rain]

35. What you are saying here simply is NOT true.

Chris Licht said nothing of the sort. These are pure "inventions" that don't hold up to fact-checking, and have been de-bunked, but the conspiracy theory won't die.

We laugh (rightfully) at Trumpists when they fall into absurd conspiracy theorism.

51. If the owner and GM didn't order the changes to favor the right,

why is the network making them? What other reason is there?

Why do you keep making false accusations about lifelong liberal Democrats such as myself, is a more germain question.

that the Hourly News Anchors are slyly and not so slyly putting in their broadcasts are getting to me. It's just not true about the both sides do it. I still like some of the on the on site reporters-Shamon. I do still watch Jim Acosta and Anderson.. I don't know if Lemon turned when he switched to anchor the morning show, but I will not get up to watch. Have also noticed more conservative and ultra conservative guest being brought on with no one questioning them for the lies they are saying.

Straight-forward truthful reporting helps Democrats.

[FoxNewsSucks]

62. Let's See Ya Dance ... The performative Trumpism of new CNN boss Chris Licht.

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/lets-see-ya-dance

In this week’s podcast, Kate Riga and I talked about the on-going talent purge at CNN. We’ve discussed this before. CNN is under new Republican management and the top shareholder has announced his intention to make the network less “liberal” and more “centrist.” There are both ideological and business drivers, which I discussed last week. But I want to dig into the mechanics, which seem to be getting short shrift in the media discussion. Two rungs down the ladder from the top corporate boss is CNN boss Chris Licht. The game plan may come from on high (i.e., Trump donor billionaire John Malone) but Licht is the implementer. So far Brian Stelter and John Harwood have been axed and the rumor mill is now fixated on Brianna Keilar, a CNN host deemed “too liberal” or too critical of Trump for the new “centrist” CNN.

If you read the insider sheets like I do they are chock full of palace intrigue and rumors about Keilar’s imminent demise. Last week she went on a multi-day obsession about the presence of Marines in the background for Joe Biden’s big “MAGA Republicans” speech. This was a 48-hour hullabaloo. People can reasonably disagree over whether it was the appropriate optics. But she simply would not let it go. To me it seemed like a rather transparent effort to curry favor with Licht and show she could adapt to the new regime. Dylan Byers’ new column in Puck suggests that this was the takeaway within CNN as well. The most striking thing about Licht’s firings to date is how they are choreographed for public consumption, particularly right-wing media consumption. They also seem designed to instill not only fear but uncertainty within CNN ranks which will lead on air talent to, for lack of a better word, discipline themselves without being told to directly.

Here’s what I mean. When an organization like CNN wants to fire someone there are many ways to do it. One is to go to the person, explain that the organization wants to move in another direction and find a way for the employee to leave, at least outwardly, on their own terms. If there’s a contract outstanding, that can be negotiated. My sense with both Stelter and Harwood is that they got what amounted to a call out of the blue that they were out, more or less without warning and out immediately. Stelter got the call a few days before what was to be the last episode of Reliable Sources after a 30 year run. The sign off and atmospherics with Harwood’s departure look similar. A call out of the blue: you’re out. In both cases the first public comments from the canned employee suggested as much. This very public choreography is designed to generate mass schadenfreude on the right: the bête noires Fox has been harping on for years suddenly marched to the top of the pyramid and hurled to the ground.

The abrupt and public approach is designed to be humiliating for the purpose of satiating the critics who long to see these folks hurt and who CNN wants to appeal to. It’s the whole “cry more” mentality. Public mockery of other people’s injury is a core leitmotif of Trumpism. Trumpism is dominance politics. To use Adam Serwer’s phrasing, the cruelty is the point. So the plan within CNN is not only to appeal to the Trump world but to do it, appropriately enough, in the language of Trumpism. Licht appears to be driving a similar effect within CNN. Reports suggest Licht has made very little effort to explain to anyone at CNN just what his plan is. He wants CNN to be more “centrist” but how he plans to do that or precisely what that means aren’t clear. The few comments he’s made within CNN seem to amount to, “you’ll find out soon enough” or “we’ll see.” This is clearly a deliberate strategy to keep everyone guessing, to draw their own conclusions from the bodies flying past the office windows.

It is again classic Trump: Keep people around you in a state of suspense and uncertainty because it gives you leverage over everyone. It’s a style of performative dominance. As we’ve discussed in other contexts, the Trump aim behind “media bias” bullying is never to create specific editorial adjustments. It’s to demonstrate power, get the targets of the ire to confirm with their own actions the substance of the charge. There’s isn’t any personnel shake up or revised editorial line that would lead Donald Trump to say, “Well they were totally fake news but they’re looking pretty solid now.” The point is to stomp and chortle at the kowtowing and demand more. But perhaps Licht is on to something in realizing that what he can never deliver in terminations or right-leaning editorial interference he can edge up to with the language of performative Trumpism.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

67. LOL. Having two people leave a network is now a "purge?"

EVERY incoming president of a network makes changes.

That is in the job description. Network presidents get no credit for carrying over shows of their predecessors. And there has been no wide scale purge at CNN.

The conspiracy doesn't hold water. But it seemingly won't die here on DU.

[W_HAMILTON]

104. Can you list the conservative commentators they similarly cut ties with?

[Just A Box Of Rain]

105. There is a dearth of conservatives at CNN.

I'm not complaining about that.

[W_HAMILTON]

106. So the number of conservative commentators they cut ties with is zero?

[Just A Box Of Rain]

108. Statistically insignificant given the options at CNN, don't you agree?

[W_HAMILTON]

110. No, I don't.

I was surprised to see awhile back that Michael Smerconish still had a show with them -- they could cut him and his low ratings, yes?

Scott Jennings is also a very partisan pundit.

I would say both of those conservatives are far more partisan than either Harwood or Stelter were.

[iemanja]

79. That article says the goal

Is to return CNN to straight reporting and away from liberal commentary. That is NOT Fox News.

Also, someone who serves on a board of a parent company and owns relatively little stock in that company does not constitute "management" of CNN.

[Celerity]

80. non sequitur - I never claimed CNN is Fox News nt

[iemanja]

83. The OP did

And you posted a piece claiming CNN was under Republican management in support of the OP.
Whether it is a new Fox News is the point of the entire thread. It is hardly a non-sequitur.

[Celerity]

84. I think CNN is definitely turning to the right, but I do not think it is at Fox level atm. That is a

perfectly rational and realistic stance, IMHO, but your mileage may vary.

I also have stopped watching it, for the most part, as I think they are a poor source of information, on balance. I also think it will get worse.

[iemanja]

86. I honestly don't think any cable news station is a good source of news

I prefer print news myself.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

Truth hardly seems to matter once conspiracy theories take hold.

Has anyone suggested that *you* are a paid shill for CNN yet? LOL

The internet.

[GoodRaisin]

71. CNN has a long way to go to be a "Fox News outlet".

Licht is no Roger Ailes.

[iemanja]

73. The point about Latinos is founded

They have increasingly been gravitating to the GOP, though a majority still support Democrats. Republicans have done a lot of on the ground outreach to make that happen.
I suspect your summary of what they said about African Americans is greatly exaggerated, and the danger is less their supporting the GOP than in some not voting in this midterm.
From what I've seen, CNN isn't turning into Fox News, not even close. Does that mean you won't periodically see something you disagree with? No, and if people can't handle that, they shouldn't watch or read news period. All I hear these days is how every news outlet, from MSNBC to NPR, is MAGA. That says more to me about the poster than those outlets.

I am sick of listening to most of these people who don’t know anything more about anything than I do myself and I can just read about it online.
