  • The "most trusted" news network circling the drain

    CNN’s primetime ratings sink as network mulls adding comedian to lineup

    First their CNN+ online service embarrassingly bombed, which you'd think would have given them the clue of what their future holds. Now the ratings of their entire network is in the gutter. It couldn't have happened to a more abysmal "news" network. Glenn Greenwald said it best...




    And of course the satisfaction wouldn't be complete without Ted Koppel's predictive analysis. This aged so well. Watch Brian -- zero self-awareness -- Stelter make a fool of himself as he usually does...

      Koppel also came out in another interview (found somewhere on YouTube) where he correctly states that the New York Times and Washington Post of today aren't the same newspapers that your father once knew. IOW, they are carp.

      Best part of it all, Koppel isn't conservative. He's simply observant... and honest.

        IIRC, Koppel (who is as you note anything but conservative) has been talking about liberal bias in the media for awhile now.



        OTOH, he has also gone after conservatives as well, particularly Sean Hannity.

        Basically he dislikes "commentary journalism"

          As he explains during his commentaries.

            Is there something fishy about that?

            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                The fact that they turn into dragons in Japanese mythology is part of how I got reeled in to learning about Japan. Wait, you were just baiting me weren't you?

                  Not a surprise. They pretty much made it so that only those on the far left ever watched them, then they announced they would try to move back to the center causing their viewer base (the left) to start abandoning ship as well.

                  It's a warning for all news media -- both on the left and the half a dozen or so on the right. You end up in a trap of your own making.

                    And you fell for it... [all together now] ... hook, line and sinker.
