69 Quarters is 17.25 YEARS or since 2002.

Anyone with a business background might look at FOX and their business model and try to emulate it so as to dig into their base and ratings.

CNN could hire a couple of FOX talking heads, fire a couple of their true lefties and direct the rest of them to report straight news from 4-7PM, no opinions, and cover all of the news on Trump, good and bad.

The upper execs and most producers would have to go. If they stuck to this formula for 6 months they would either be number 1 or a very close second.

msnbc could have the crazies and be a solid third.

cnn has a world wide presence and could influence opinion much more than FOX, if they had the discipline to play it straight. It would require a cultural shift that may be a bridge too far.

cnn is owned by AT&T and I don't know the political bent of upper management but they are a global company.

“How do you know who won’t siphon off Trump supporters. I doubt that Trump would have won Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania in 2016 without a significant number of disaffected democrat voters.”

That’s why I said Democrats WHO NEVER and WOULD NEVER vote for Trump. The Democrats who voted for him already will do so again.

Fox is trying to destroy themselves and reinvent themselves as CNN or MSNBC.

You did.

I tend to overlook all the CAPITAL LETTERS. I know people try do use them for emphasis, but I just don’t see them any more. I find them uncommonly annoying.

I bought one book by Mark Levin that got great reviews. I couldn’t get past the first chapter because of all the caps. To me, it’s rude to scream when you’re among pleasant company.

Audition for Democrat debate. Or revenge because they didn’t get in on debate action.

So clearly there’s a preference for Fox news over other sources. Now can we please get CNN off the damn airport TV’s?
