Is that the one that went through the trap door?
I thought the same thing. lol
It wasn’t that news was a bad or weak idea-—the bad idea was being selective, partisan, whiny, one-sided, non-educational, axe grinders and ignoring most of the ACTUAL NEWS. Reporting events and sniveling about it was never a winning idea.
or reporting the same 5 slanted stories over and over and over and over
They know that we have to suffer through another three years of The Commie.
Yeah, I notice that FOX is developing an annoying habit of bringing at least one snivelling dumbass into every discussion. I usually watch TV in delay so the DVR loop button gets a lot of action. There must be about 30 dunderhead, ignoramus, regulars who never contribute a bleeping thing to the knowledge base that get “yellow buttoned “as soon as their faces show up. You listening FOX?
You are so right! A degenerate, foul-mouthed alkie-addict who believes he is the coolest guy in any room of any country.
I tune him in every once in a while though, since I’ve traveled virtually nowhere and he does go to very interesting places...
I wouldn’t mind a like minded station, like BlazeTV but with more mainstream talent and deeper pockets. This sounds like the direction CNN is going but more left leaning cultural rot.
It sounds as thought CNN is trying to bring YouTube to cable TV. Didn’t Al Gore already try this?
CNN: will give news for food.

Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown is a massive failure. I watched last week’s Tokyo/ No insight into culinary Tokyo. No, it was about sex, pornography, bondage, sexual deviancy.
I turned it off forever.
I used to like Bourdain for his irreverence … but he is just a jerk. Predictably, I don’t like his politics but he’s a not very nice man.
Look at the way he gloated at Paula Deen’s [I don’t like her either] diabetes. He went on and on about how she deserved it, and had it coming.
Yet, if Bourdain had gotten cirrhosis because of his incessant drinking or emphysema from non-stop smoking, I wonder if she would gloat. I think not.
By the same token, is the reason their ratings are taking a further hit is that Al Jaezera is moving farther left than the Communist News Network so ably chronicled but AJ’s viewers like the potential meme of hate the Great Satan, save the environment and bring us Sharia law now that AJ will surely provide once their, thin as tissue veil, is dropped? Socialists can run but they cannot hide. Their arrogance forbids it.
Well, that was short lived. I gave Bourdain another chance tonight.
It was not free on YouTube so I popped to buy Sunday’s episode: Detroit. Because I am supremely interested in the city … although I have never been there. Blessedly the program was relatively low on Bourdain politics … he likens the city to Chernobyl melting back into it’s natural habitat.
I’m halfway through it … back to the film ...
