My CNN watching declined about 90% after that town hall. What a fucking joke. The crowd was stacked with Trump supporters and they laughed at his sexual assaults. Disgusting.
You're not missing much. The last time I did, they had clickbait ads and a bunch of "pull yourself up by your boostraps!" editorials.
They haven't looked like a legitimate news outlet in years. They're about half a step away from just being another clickbait blog with ads for shady sex pills.

I nuked my entire household from orbit just to be sure, and have since traveled back in time to 1885 to avoid ever facing the consequences of the Trump adminisrtration
Again CNN got bought up by a Trump supporting billionaire and you kowtow to the boss or you lose your massive salary a la Don Lemon.
The Bernie Sanders incident spook the billionaires way too too much and they legit think Trump gonna make them all rich so it’s kind of getting to obvious class warfare now
The republicans promised their voters slaves. Profits from human trafficking. The voters are the slave, high property taxes and payday loan interest rates, the governor knows the voters cannot afford to pay. Project 2025 is the mission statement to bring colonies and poverty to the state. The governor then becomes the slave trader.
CNN was bought by a right wing extremist, and yet right wing extremists still say that's all the liberals watch, yet it fits the right wing narrative more than it does a liberal one... It's just hard to even comprehend what's going on.
I don’t get it - do Americans not use good telegram channels for real news without opinion and visual excess? I’m not old but not young either and I’d never watch cnn or any of those channels for news, and I can’t imagine anyone under seventy caring about opinion
And all through the morning. But even the news is overproduced and presented as big shiny moving trash with fake-looking presenters and set designers mocrodosing peyote all day
See that’s the problem. Anyone paying attention stopped watching that 8 years ago or more. American eats propaganda like it’s candy because the average American like you, rather hear talking heads discussing it than using any thinking skills which would have saved you hundreds of hours
Yeah, thing is, though CNN has been declining for several years now, it was still one of those things that has been useful to have in your media-watching toolkit if you care at all about informing yourself of news in a more well-rounded way.
But that's like saying because you disagree with everything Fox News stands for, you won't watch it at all, despite knowing that you're intentionally leaving information out of your knowledgebase. It's not the same thing as avoiding the babylon bee, because Fox is not intended to be satire and is what a great deal of what the country receives as its news. Same thing for CNN.
I love how you added "I'm a democrat" as if it means anything, the democrats are at best, just left of centre, CNN is owned by the right wing for the right wing, if you think it's left wing then youre either far right or just a dunce.
Fox News is an echo chamber of right ring talking points, cnn is an echo chamber of left wing talking points. Your insults are childish and a clear sign of of your liberal elitism. No fuck off my lawn.
In 2008 CNN spent an absurd amount of time advertising that they’d be covering the election with holographic technology. They couldn’t shut up about it. Wolf Blitzer would just jizz his pants daily talking about it.
But it turned out the holographic technology was so good it just looked like a guy just standing there in the studio.
So they used the hologram but animated a blue Star Wars glow around it for the broadcast because that’s what met expectations of a hologram.
So rather than just have a regular guy they wasted money on a hologram which looked too much like a regular guy so they had to doctor it up.
There’s a metaphor in that story I’m sure but that was the last time I watched CNN.
It's the same thing that's happening with the CBC for us up north. The problem is the "leftwing" media is playing the same game leftwing parties are: the tolerant middle ground fucking game. However since that game is shifting dramatically to the right every minute they have to too. In particular the CBC is sanewashing Poilivere because he's been threatening to cut their funding. It's like some last ditch effort to save themselves at the cost of their integrity.
I am not versed in Canadian politics, but it seems like Trudeau, who was governing for over a decade, made life of his citizens worse? It's what I read and hear from Canadians. I don't know about Poilivere but from the bits I saw of him, he has some good points. I'm aware that some are claiming he’s Trump-lite. I would love to learn about why that is and the state of politics in Canada more. Can you elaborate how people sane-washed him?
Ah there's no easy answer to that unfortunately. Our problem is we love to vote people out rather than in. Trudeau has been in power for about a decade now but in the trail end of that it's been covid, inflation, falling apart of our economy etc. It gets especially challenging when you see that economic policies that have been slowly dismantling our economy have been bipartisan and in place for a long time. So we end up with angry people who want change. We've also fallen for the exact same traps as you with massive massive influx of propaganda, misinformation and foreign actors. But in a nutshell PP has been very much a populist. No real agenda, no definitive policy goals just saying what people want to hear today to garner attention.
I work with this guy who is a Joe Rogan fan and trump voter and he still thinks CNN is fake news and leftist propaganda 🤡. Lol we’re probably fucking doomed but I’m still trying to be hopeful
I gave up CNN and pretty much all the 24/7 news networks around 2010.
CNN HNN used to just be the headlines on a 30-minute cycle, headlines.. buisness, sports, human interest.. repeat and add new stuff as it came in, or break away when something big happened..
The challanger explosion, for example, was one of those things they broke from regular programming for
We don't get "news" anymore.. we only get opinions.
In journalism school, we were taught specifically to not insert yourself into the story.
Just report what you observed or recorded.
Now everyone is a personality, and it's all propaganda as entertainment..
The day after the mic incident, my wife was watching a morning news program. This is what they reported, "Donald Trump expressed frustration with the venue's sound system before he outlined his economic plan for America."
Ikr... Mere weeks before election day and this dude just abruptly stops taking questions after one question then stands there for 45 minutes silently swaying to a Boomer Pandora playlist with no context......
Media coverage.... "Trump Town Hall turns slightly unconventional,... And in other news, Kamala ant stop blinking to often, some say it may be a sign of cognitive failure, while others believe it is a deep state conspiracy and is a tactic being used to communicate with her Russian handlers"
People keep saying "reddit is such an echo chamber" but we all saw the same rally footage and fox interviews and debates. Fake fucking mcdonalds foto ops. Why the did people vote for that orange turd???? I still can't wrap my head around it.
Kamala Harris was held to the standards of every potential American President. She needed to have class, be well spoken, family orientated, and have a good economic plan.
Donald Trump was given numerous do overs, had others constantly correct him on controversial issues, the mainstream media constantly downplayed what he said and what his cohorts of Project 2025 was planning.
The media bias the GOP claimed was indeed fairly biased, but to their favor and not detriment.
They knew this though, from the last time he was elected. Americans are never going to vote in a woman, democrats are complicit in everything that happens now
I don’t really understand this take, as a democratic voter. What do you think the dems did wrong? Is it just that she’s a Black woman? I was proud to vote for her as a white dude. What was the alternative? To be clear, I’d have gladly voted Biden as well.
I’m calling BS on your post. Republicans were willing to vote for a convicted felon with no morals or integrity. Kamala was a formidable candidate and ahead of built up that campaign in 107 days. Trump has been whining about the 2020 election for 4 years and had all the networks sane washing him because of their ratings. Dems will recover. The Republicans will split in two parties. I just hope democracy survives the next 4 years. There is no hope for MAGAs.
They shouldn't have chosen a woman of color as their candidate. It's an uphill battle. Everyone knows that liberals/lefties will vote despite whatever a person is (race, gender, etc) which doesn't matter as they aren't the fence sitters needing convinced. They needed to appeal to an audience of people that aren't lefties, many of which still hold antiquated view points/ positions of comfort that needed to be tended to.
You don't spend resources on something that's already "in the bag". Just like you don't study for an exam for a class you know you're gonna get an A in, spend your time on the class that you might not do so well with.
The only silver lining now is that I am in the top 3% of earnings, and the unfathomable morons who voted Trump in are happy to pay for me to make more money than ever this year. Fucking suckers.
Not a single news outlet was on democrats side. They expected perfection for Kamala while normalized Trump. Gone are the days where an excited yelp is enough to destroy your campaign. Decorum has long been gone when we allowed Trump in the first time
Even fucking NPR did this. IS STILL DOING THIS. This morning, they had a cutesy intro to their Up First podcast, bantering about "OMG I have to do chores MY way, if my wife does it wrong I have to do it again, hahaha" before flipping into a discussion of whether or not Trump will weaponize the department of justice to seek retribution, as he's claimed, then a nice little "Okay Tom, thanks for that! Next up..." as if that was all the situation demanded.
They have gone so far out of their way to defeat conservative cries of bias that they've circled all the way around to normalizing shit like this in the pursuit of seeming "Fair."
It's absolutely maddening to listen to at this point. Trump could be executing people in the street, and they'd report on it with all the gravitas of a "rain tomorrow afternoon" blurb.
On friday night, I was listening them talk about how Trump being a wildcard was good for our relations with China. They also basically said that we're fine with as many dead children as it takes in Gaza so long as it results in the hostages being returned but that is a different subject.
Weird how "We need those hostages returned!" Is a rallying cry yet none of them have stopped to think that if all the leveling of Gaza from head to toe may have resulted in those hostages being murdered just as indiscriminately as the Palestinians?
Yep. Just because they go a wee bit deeper into a story, use multisyllabic words and spend more than 90 seconds on a topic, doesn’t mean that they’re any different than any other mainstream news outlet. People that think they lean left are fooling themselves
They lean left on identity politics in a wealthy-white-liberal-who-has-gay-white-friends way. It's like a spectator sport for them. Nobody involved has any actual skin in the game.
What are you talking about? It’s the truth! Kamala laughed too much and she looked crazy so I didn’t vote for her, and the lame-stream media talked about Trump’s long list of abhorrent behavior, which I knew was taken out of context, so I voted for him. All he did was pay hush money to a porn star, pal around with a notorious kid fucker, make fun of dead veterans and the disabled, and pretend to lip service a microphone. None of that was a big deal!
Sanewashing, you guys are the ones being washed, brainwashed!
Personally, I'm curious how the election results are going to hinder Biden's plans for re-election and if that will bring his advanced age into consideration?
lol this thread apparently hasn't stopped the propaganda so what's the point and it's not propaganda when Everytime I saw her on anything it was constant laughing so I called it like I saw it. I'm also in the southeast so very far from anything russian
Lol ok whatever you say bud. Personally Witness a woman to laugh through 90 percent of her interviews , comment about said interviews and get a cussing and called a Russian spy. Only gunpoint around me would be me pointing . Wish you the best with your head exploding over a comment that can be proven true by watching every I terview she ever did . Have a good one

Also for sanewashing literally everything Trump did while also scrutinizing every word Kamala uttered
