A groundbreaking new study paid viewers of the Fox News Network to watch CNN for 30 days...The early impacts, after just three days, showed that the viewers were already starting to change.

Translation - People normally fed truthful information believe the lies if forced to consume propaganda.
There’s a reason conservatives don’t watch CNN. It’s all lies.
What I love is getting called a Fox News watcher by people who watch CNN and MSNBC. Uh, no . . .
This stumps them.
Best thing I ever did was to give all the TVs to my (now ex) wife when we got divorced. In 1977. Haven’t owned one since. I feel like a sighted man in a land of the blind. An eerie feeling.
Good Lord! Is there enough money in the world to pay us to watch CNN? It’s like being paid to listen to Yoko’s greatest hits on an endless loop...
I used to watch for the weather and traffic until they politicized the weather; now I watch prepping YouTube videos....
CNN has become a reeducation camp for Fox viewers. That says it all.
FNC has always had a large percentage of registered Dems as part their viewer demographic.
Those were likely the people polled.
Other than Tucker, is watching Fox much different that watching CNN, these days?
Bottom line: Governments use controlled media organs such as CNN because propaganda works!
Well, not entirely.
Or Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections, would it...
True.
The only thing this proves is that visual media is powerful and one has to guard one’s eyes.
HSN thinks it does the most sales on TV, they have NOTHING on all the bull crap CNN sells daily!
Fox News is the new National Review. Going from WAS conservative to most of the conservative contributors abandoning ship while the liberals sink it from management.
CNN doesn’t care. They get paid a portion of subscribers fees from cable, satellite, and the streaming services that carry their garbage. Same for MSNBC.
Surfing the net we see posts with these titles:
January 2022 Cable Ratings: Fox News Beats MSNBC and CNN
CNN's Top-Rated Show Came In 22nd Place In Cable News
CNN, MSNBC ratings PLUMMET as Americans turn their backs ...
Let's just say, do we really want to trust a poll where those being polled are being paid to view a network?
Does the poll translate into "CNN will now pay everyone to watch their network??"
Give me a break!!
The last time I watched television was when the tv series ER was at its peak...probably around 1995-1998 or so. I figure it was at that point, because I was also watching “Home Improvement” and I liked that. But those were the only two things I was watching. And at that point, I had long since stopped watching the news.
I don’t remember what it was that made me lose interest, but I stopped.
Then, after I stopped watching regularly, when I did watch it for whatever reason, I simply could not stomach it. I think it may have been the commercials, which I used to enjoy, but there was something different about them.
They weren’t funny, entertaining, or even interesting anymore. I could not sit through them.
And watching a sitcom? I had never been a big one for sitcoms, although I did enjoy Home Improvements. I have seen one episode of Seinfeld. But when I tried watching one, it was nauseating.
My wife still watches a lot of television, but I cannot even stand the sound of it. I listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks to drown it out if I am in the house. There is something about the sound of it.
I think I stopped watching the news around the time of Gulf War I. I had been increasingly critical of the news networks since Ronald Reagan was elected, then just stopped.
What it all boiled down to with news was, I realized I was susceptible to visual imagery, and the news portrays things in the way they want you to see them and perceive them, not as they actually are. They are there to make money, not to inform you. I guess I just rebelled against that.
If the study is accurate, then the biggest outcome of the study is PROPAGANDA WORKS.
Or, as the sign said;
“You don’t believe you’ve been lied to and brainwashed,
because you’ve been lied to and brainwashed”
So exposure to CNN’s lies made it clear CNN lies?
Familiarity breeds contempt?
Replace the d with an r and you’re on to something
