A whole article about who is #2... do they go out of their way not to mention who is #1?
Yep, they are trying to ignore the big ol elephant in the room
CNN didn’t beat MSNBC. MSNBC lost to CNN.....
#2 out of 2.
Hot dang!
Don’t forget AlJazeera America and their 0.0000001% share.
It was nice to see Al Jazeera in America lose them so much oil money
WHAT, RIGHT BEHIND SPONGE BOB SQUAREPANTS???
Hilarious.
Like reading a story about March Madness and only the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place teams are discussed.
Then again I did see the interview a week or two ago with Roger Ailes who said he doesn’t even view CNN and MSNBC as his competitors anymore.
Rather he gauges FOX performance against ESPN and AMC, TNT and the Comedy channel.
That’s like saying that the Washington Generals rank #2 in exhibition basketball.
Only because CNN is on every monitor in every airport in the world.
I think of his Katrina commentary, “They are so poor, and they are so black.”
” Only because CNN is on every monitor in every airport in the world.”
How did this happen?
First in ?
I flipped channels and stopped at ESPN one day. They absolutely refused to use the word “Redskin”. One guest called it “That losing team with a racist name”.
Old Soviet joke:
The US and USSR had a dual track meet, which the US won handily. The headline in Pravda the next day was, “USSR comes in second, US next to last in international track meet.”
Correct. I won’t watch CNN, period.
