When “news” shows report on their competing “news” shows I tend to think they are being really lazy. Which is what I think of the news in its entirety. Just real lazy journalists.

Other than with subsidiaries from deep pocket leftists like Soros or the heads of big tech companies, CNN is doomed to bankruptcy. With the loss of airports broadcasting CNN 24/7 with no one watching and with millions cutting their cable subscriptions those sources of revenue for CNN have dried up. Given CNNs abysmal ratings, advertising revenue would also likely be pretty bleak. I’m looking forward to CNN soon to be closing their doors.

Did they even have 38% to lose?

We’ve had enough of their fabrications and lies. Even the “true believers” need to be taught many hard lessons.

“CNN is not a business. It is a propaganda outlet for AT&T. A cost center not a revenue generating center.”

Assuming the spinoff of CNN and other Time-Warner media entities goes through, there is a real opportunity for the executives of the new company to reposition CNN and dramatically capture market share. All they have to do is return to reporting straight news as classical journalists answering the questions who, what, when, where, why in a factual, unbiased way. Supplement with commentary that is clearly labeled as editorial and opinion and not embedded in news reporting. Balance commentary between left, right, and moderate pundits. ng straight news balanced with clearly labeled opinion.

Throw in an occasional in depth investigative journalism report, again balanced between both conservative and leftist sacred cows. For example an in-depth report into sources of Mitch McConnell’s wealth, and conflicts of interests, could be balanced with a similar report on Nancy Pelosi.

This positioning will be highly attractive to the majority of independents as well as people on the left and right capable of reason and desiring a reliable and trustworthy source of factual information and a look at opinions on the right and the left.

That was awesome. Been feeling that notion once I saw a newscast describe a situation where I knew what was really going on. They are totally inept, those “news” people.

"At this rate the networks will soon be out of business."

The sooner the better.

"At this point, anyone still watching CNN has to be either completely brainwashed or brain dead."

But apparently half the US electorate is brainwashed or brain dead; euphemistically they say that they are "woke.". They're not watching CNN? How do they maintain their washed brains? Are they in danger of having Truth enlighten them?

"The network is now desperately attempting to corral these zombies into paying for its services with subscriptions."

Anyone brainwashed or brain dead enough to watch CNN will probably do it.

"Our only hope is that the rot and corruption assembled by the left will take itself down."

You are so right about that, and what you have said is well said. That's exactly what's destroying America. The evil most fundamental to the destruction of Western Civilisation is contempt for truth--truth for its own sake--whose result is rot and corruption.

Note tagline.

They’re probably right about Trump being gone means viewership is down. Left or right, there’s no reason to watch the news if its devoid of content. “Dear leader is wonderful” is boring.

The data shows that on average there are 919,000 Americans watching MSNBC, while only 787,000 are still watching CNN.

A little perspective: Since I live in PA, this is the number of Pennsylvanians watching MSNBC and CNN; 33,911 for MSNBC and 29,040 for CNN. That's out of 12.3 million people. MSNBC and CNN are meaningless. You should feel free to abuse and ridicule the hell out of any freak that watches that stuff. They are the extreme fringe leftist minority. They are a bunch of queers, transgenders, bLM, Antifa freaks. On top of that, they are a bunch of pussies cowering in their homes afraid of a frickin' virus. They ain't Americans. They are eff'n Commies and should be treated as such.

... although WP’s viewership being down SO much is probably because of the paywall. It used to be that I could easily get around the paywall.

I will always remember Trump (long before being elected POTUS) trashing Wulf Blister saying “be thankful there’s so few people watching you embarrass yourself”.
