The only thing worse than Fox Nation is apparently CNN+.

We like Fox Nation. We don't have cable and it allows us to watch their prime time lineup. Albeit, the following morning. But Tucker et. al. don't deliver breaking news anyway.

CNN ratings are down 90% from a year ago, how the heck did they think their streaming service would do?

"The new streaming service will play live and on-demand shows from the network’s hosts like Anderson Cooper and Poppy Harlow, as well as former Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, basketball player Rex Chapman and radio host Audie Cornish."

Can anyone name a even a single person who would open their wallet and pay actual money to see one any of these liars?
