As a broadcast journalist, my goal was always to get my accurate story on the air first. Beating the other networks by even just a minute was a major victory when covering breaking news. It drove ratings and ratings are everything. So, let me give you an advantage in your political discussion group. Here is the headline for January 1, 2022: The old CNN is dead!
The cause of death is not the forced departure of Chris Cuomo or Rachel Maddow’s act becoming so old she is moving to a weekly show. Nor is it that CNN’s jaundiced journalists conspired to be completely wrong about Kyle Rittenhouse, the false Russia collusion claim, Hunter Biden’s laptop, Jessie Smollett, Border Patrol whippings, and countless other “important” news stories. The reason is good old-fashioned free-market economics combined with Americans’ limited tolerance of CNN’s ultra-liberal BS (Bovine Secretions).
Two decades ago, CNN was the news juggernaut. But since then, its viewership dropped faster than Joe Biden’s approval ratings. Media mogul John Malone just bought the sinking news ship in a fire sale and he will waste no time in cutting out the cancerous cause for CNN’s liberal-laced decline.
To understand why Malone must drastically reshape CNN, you must understand who really decides what you watch on a news program. When watching CNN, MSNBC, or the three major entertainment networks, it is easy to blame the news anchor for the seriously slanted left-leaning coverage.
Today’s talking heads, though, are not the main cause of the problem. They just blindly read whatever the show producers dump into their teleprompters. In their carefully clipped, dulcet tones, complete with properly concerned expressions, they read the words written by far-left young men and women who think the world revolves around them and their favorite Manhattan pan-Mongolian vegetarian restaurant.

“Yes, it is Arnett without the extra ‘A’. But I really didn’t think it was worthwhile to discuss. I just spelled it correctly in my response.”
CNN was excellent during Desert Shield. Then Peter Arnett did his imitation of Baghdad Bob and it all went downhill from there.
I lived through the 1960's.
Walter Chronkite was the most trusted man in America.
It took a long time for me to realize the USA transitioned to a Mediacracy in the 1960s.
Thanks.
[But, maybe not?]
No he isn't.
Bull Shit! Evil never dies.
Instead of s__t say poo. As in “bull-poo,” “poo-head,” and “this poo is cold”
——John Malone——
I think the man is overrated. I once bet on him by purchasing some shares in Liberty Media. They just set there, neither gaining no losing in value. There was continuous hype about the man..... BS
I will watch but have no faith in his actual ability to succeed
I will try to remember that.
I agree about Peter Arnett and it is sad. Arnett was really good during the first attack, being brave enough to actually lean out the top floor window of the hotel to see better.
Pretty big package at that time and place. At least bigger than Shaw’s.
He and Unca Joe have that in common
The faces on TV are actors now on news channels, with few exceptions. So is AOC, as she auditioned for the part.
Recognize this, and act accordingly.

Legendary newsman Walter Kronkite receiving an award at the World Federalist Association meeting in 1999. He admits, after a quote from Pat Robertson saying that ‘we will have peace, but only when the messiah arrives’ Walter then quotes Pat Robertson by saying “..any attempt to achieve world government before that time must be the work of the devil” Walter then says “Join me, I'm happy to sit at the right hand of Satan”
Love it!
Death to CNN, Death to Woke America. Has to start somewhere . Words mean things. Liars lie ‘til they die.
Ram’s Dung!!
Wow - I knew he was a commie-type after watching his Vietnam coverage nightly. He concluded with, “And that’s the way it was” in a grandfatherly tone. Who wouldn’t trust grandpa?
His broadcasts left this young pup strangely somewhat sympathetic with the Vietcong.
As Bugs would say, “What a maroon!”
