Hilarious that the main people in here bitching about the media fall victim to propaganda.

Based on what? I see a morning show ethos of fluff transposed onto an entire network. I see a network that still lags behind Fox News and MSNBC in viewership and most meaningful Nielson metrics.

Based on the ratings. CNN is competing with MSNBC for viewers while Fox is alone in a bubble of its own making.

It's really not a close competition between CNN and MSNBC anymore. There's actually a chance that CNN won't be relevant at all in a few years.

Not likely.

CNN is still pretty respected internationally.

Just a creation of the liberal media to stymie a non Marxist agenda

Lol.

Russia's a capitalist oligarchy now, brosef.

fox is nothing but state run news at this point

[sturg33]

Was Fox state run under Obama?

I'm so confused at the outright hatred the left has for everything that doesn't agree with them. Tolerant bunch, indeed

Dangerous times. The violence will escalate.

[goldfly]

disregard facts, pivot and attack the person/people

the patented move of the right

but i guess understanding what the words "at this point" means is tough for some people. lol

I guess I haven't seen the change in Fox News since Trump took over. Part of the reason is I don't watch, so I don't know. I guess you do.

Harvard says it's been 52% negative towards Donald Trump.

I guess that's "state run" media.

You have become such a joke

[sturg33]

Here's that state run media making a fool of the GOP speaker of the house

You can call it deceptive editing... that's fine (not like CNN just got caught doing this today about voter fraud - but who cares, right?)

But we have producers from CNN openly saying the CEO is telling them to push Russia. He says they don't have anything. He says they were told to stop covering other stories to get back to Russia. Because it's good business. Because it drives ratings.

Anyone who thinks CNN is a legitimate news source is a moron, IMO.

Not quite. Koch run news maybe and perhaps they run the GOP too.

When a White House won't broadcast a press briefing and calls everyone but them fake news and then will do on camera interviews only with them


They are pretty much just state run news

No No No

the Kochs are our last line against the "special interests"
and promote "freedom"

and lest you forget they don't support either party

i don't get your "quip"

if your argument that cnn has chosen to be a tabloid instead of a legit news organization to pursue money, then I agree with you.

For my updates on all things CNN I read you and a couple three others here.
I haven't seen CNN in 5 years.

I just learned what Jeffery Lord looked like today

i always wonder if the freshman poli sci 1101 libertarians that spout about free markets all the time think regulations were first before the market formed

the regulations of markets only came about cause the markets proved they wouldn't do the right thing
