Let’s see where CNN ranks after they are pulled from airports across the country this spring—that will take away a significant portion of the alleged viewership.

Most local TV station test patterns have higher ratings than CNN (and now Fox).

Socialism requires censorship, otherwise the people learn the truth of their horrid results.

Censorship, followed by a gun ban. So that even if people discover the truth, they can’t do anything about it.

Now playing, in the USA.

If those Leftist totalitarian assholes had better ideas, they’d get much better ratings and the people on our side would get CNN-like ratings.

But since they have a bunch of loser ideas, and they thirst for power at all costs, they revert to type, like the Stalinists they are.

Isn’t this basically the same thing as “Coca-Cola advocating for elimination of Pepsi Products?”

That’s really scary. Stamos revealed their next moves: To pressure Comcast, ATT, and other providers to stop carrying Newsmax and OANN. Their useful idiots will now burn up the phones to get them deplatformed.

This is awful!! Can’t they be sued for interfering with trade or such?

They won’t leave him alone. They’ll keep slandering and smearing him for the rest of his life, and even after he passes away.

Point of clarity please. I posted a twitter story and it was deleted as soon as I submitted. Others post twitter stories and they stick.

Are twitter post accepted at the whim of the current moderator or is there a particular policy we should follow?

What about (I am almost embarrased to ask) tiktok? There is one account there which has interesting videos posted by somebody who appears to be close to the administration.

We are awake. And they can't shut THAT down. PERIOD".

Hmmm... Awake?
Guess it depends on how you can define it...

OTOH, A Communist Purge Is Underway & Nothing Is Being Done About It!

FTA: “There are people on YouTube for example that have a larger audience than daytime CNN”

I subscribe to some youtube channels that I view on my Roku box for the tv set that have greater audiences then network shows. I have Jay Leno’s channel and DriveTribe about cars, sailing shows, Free Documentry, Spark with interesting subjects of all kinds, tv/movie reviews, tech shows etc. by pro’s and amateurs.

Last year CBS All Access had a get together for Star Trek Discovery show with many of the actors from past and present Star Trek shows to get people to subscribe to CBS Access on youtube but their numbers were way below the reviewers of it.

Go to Youtube, find something you like and subscribe. You can watch on the pc, tablet, phone or using a streaming box like Roku the shows you like vs what is on network tv. I hardly watch any shows on the networks. Only “Last Man Standing” and it is on Fox.
