Too bad about CNN

[Rawley]

Ignoring the big picture, clinging to a small victory. Understandable. It’s all that right wingers have to boast about.

"Big picture" is free shit. Do people drink more tap water or single malt scotch?

 

[RaleBulgarian]

Uhhh, no.

Your denial of facts presented is sad.

 

[element94]

Not on cable. Fox crushes CNN and MSNBC

This shows I've underestimated the number of indoctrinated, factless, pre-packaged junk/fast food brain, radical right cult worshipers in the U.S. The plan seems to be working somewhat.

 

[element94]

And yet, CNN is still more trusted than Fox News.

Yes, I haven't heard anyone on CNN say no one in their right mind would believe this stuff.

LOL Over 40% of Fox viewers are democrats. They can't stand the propaganda put out by CNN and MSNBC

Perspective: Is hate-watching Fox News a thing with liberals?

Despite its reputation as a conservative-leaning news outlet, a surprising number of liberals are contributing to the network’s success

LOL - taking up for Fox News.
If they are watching it as anything other than a horror show, then I'll add them to that list.

I excel. Do people consume more of something if it's free or if they have to pay for it?

Where do you get your unbias news?

Anything to say about Fox News? I mean, of the two, Fox is much worse and has almost singlehandedly created the rift of proven lies in this country that has already led to, and could lead to much worse, violence. Do they get a pass from you?

It seems like fox is like the state news in Russia to them. It's all they consume, it's all they believe, they are not smart enough to even suspect it is lies and propaganda, even is they suspect, they don't care. I never knew there were so many weak, gullible and ignorant people in the US, watching trump and his worshipers was a real eye opener for me. All the racists and conspiracy nuts at the trump incited insurrection are representative of the new Trump Cult Party, the republican party is dead. Those in power who do not agree with trump are too weak and frightened to speak out, their silence is killing America.

The midterms will obviously be very telling in which way this country will be going. If the right takes back Congress, it will be bad news for democracy and sanity.

Posting alternative facts from your own reference. Tsk tsk.

“Nielsen MRI Fusion found that “Tucker Carlson Tonight” was the top show in that time slot in October among both Republicans and Democrats ages 25-54. As The Wrap reported, “Of those demo-aged viewers surveyed who identified as Democrats, 39% chose Fox News, 31% chose MSNBC and 30% chose CNN for programming from 8 p.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET.”

Moreover, in viewership throughout the day, 42% of Democrats ages 25-54 watched Fox, while 33% watched CNN and 25% watched MSNBC.”

A minority fraction/demographic of self identified Dems watch Fox at any given time.

And of those Dems that watch Fox News, there’s no way to know how many tune in just for the “good entertainment” value, as described in your referenced article, which makes sense considering that most of the network’s personalities are clowns.

The fox/Putin network.

EXCLUSIVE: Kremlin war memos instruct Russian media to feature Tucker Carlson.

The Russian government has pressed outlets to highlight the Fox host's Putin-helping broadcasts.

Do you believe that basic cable and internet access are free to all Americans? You must, otherwise you wouldn’t ignorantly imply that access to other news sources is free to American news consumers.

??? What's the alternative facts? 40% of Fox's viewers are Democrats.

??? I pointed out that among cable viewers, the ones who pay for their news, FOX crushes CNN and MSNBC. You disagreed, presumably including broadcast news sources, which are free.

40% of one demographic.

 

[LouC]

Sure all the leftist news organizations put together dwarf FOX but the OP is on CNN specifically and the fact that they are a shell of their former selves.
As stated in the OP I used to go to them for worldwide coverage of wars and natural disasters. They had tremendous resources and great reporting on such events. That was always their strongest point.
During the Clinton era they started their metamorphosis and took a hard turn to the left which sent them off the road into a ditch. This led to a loss in ratings that went from bad to worse over the years which led to closing overseas offices and massive layoffs which led to a steep decline in CNN coverage of wars and natural disasters.
Too bad about CNN

But that, to the bold, is not a "fact."

 

[RaleBulgarian]

??? I pointed out that among cable viewers, the ones who pay for their news, FOX crushes CNN and MSNBC. You disagreed, presumably including broadcast news sources, which are free.

And I was referring to news consumption across mediums. The true picture of news consumership in America (really, the entire world of news sources) that puts Fox bragging rights in it’s proper perspective. A big fish in a tiny pond of conservative news sources.

I agree, I really hope there isn't so much cheating, manipulation, intimidation, voter suppression and interference by the Trump Party to silence the voice and stifle the vote of patriotic Americans who love our democracy, our country and all the people who make it the great place that it is.

Given that the vast majority of Republicans trust Trump for medical advice over the CDC, is it surprising they trust FOX news? Ya gotta love those Trumpists, they fall in line and follow their leader and his spokesmen without a second thought. You can trust what Tucker says on FOX and you can trust what Tucker says on Russian state TV...

Three points need to be made:

1) Trump had nothing to do with CNN's downfall which actually began over 20 years ago.

2) Tucker Carlson is commentary - NOT news.

3) Democrats like Tucker Carlson more than they like Rachel Maddow. . . . That's right - - - DEMOCRATS.

“The data, from the month of October, showed that Carlson pulled in 101,000 viewers who self-identified as Democrats in the 25-54 demographic. MSNBC’s ‘The Rachel Maddow Show’ and Fox’s ‘The Five’ were tied for second place, each attracting 88,000 viewers in the key demo who self-identified as Democrats." (source: https://usafeatures.news/2022/02/03/carlson-gets/ )

CNN is hemorraging viewers because they cannot be trusted to be objective in their reporting. They spin everything. The data indicates that Dems no longer believe CNN's reporting.

edit: CNN does have one anchor who is smart, and tries her best to be objective in her reporting: Dana Bash. The rest are awful "journalists".
MSNBC also has a good reporter who doesn't spin (or at least tries not to): Kelly O'Donnell.

 

[mrjurrs]

CNN really has done a face-plant since they moved towards a partisan propaganda operation.

They were once "The most trusted name in news". No more, though - - those days were back in the 1990s.

They still used the slogan until the people at FOX called them out and a Rasmussen survey indicated that FOX News is actually the most trusted name in news.

Eventually, CNN begrudgingly pulled the plug on their slogan.

Faux is only the most trusted name in news because their viewers are too dense to do their own fact checking.

1) Has nothing to do with Repubs trusting Trump's medical advice over the CDC's.
2) I know that and you know that, but tell it to the Trumpists, they don't know that.
3) As you point out Trucker is not a news source, Democrats watch Tucker for his facial expressions and entertainment value, NOT news.

No.

Even if the number of Dems purported to watch Carlson is correct, that 101k viewers represent one demographic, and a very small fraction of all Dems.
