I'm always still in trouble again

"Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight

Seems like Licht at least has enough common sense to know that deliberately alienating an overwhelming majority of your potential viewers is bad for for business.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

At Licht's pace, I'll be dead before CNN is worth watching again. Just the fact he's going to give Chris Wallace his own show is enough to keep me far away. Yeah, Wallace has a contract, but give the pompous partisan jerk a broom and let him sweep up on the graveyard shift.
Aside from local stuff, I don't watch any TV news anyway so my opinions aren't worth much. But I would remove all of the old regime and find new faces from around country to fill the slots.

I tend to watch mostly local news and Fox news. Just the news programs on Fox, I usually skip the commentary shows, except for "the Five" - I kind of like that one. Online I will read a wider variety of sources, including Washington Post, NY Times, NY Post, Fox, MSNBC, etc. And for online sources I will deliberately look for articles on both sides of an issue to see how each side is presenting it. Also since online sources these days tend to just repeat each other I will take the time to track down the original story instead of one of the copycats that are reporting what someone else reported.

What "tricks" are you referring to?
